A–POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE
A–POC, the acronym of 'A Piece Of Cloth', is the name of the integrated design and manufacturing system first introduced in Paris by Issey Miyake in 1998. A–POC revolutionised the process of clothes–making with its innovative concept of a streamlined, all–in–one operation, in which all the parts of the clothing are pre–woven into a single piece of cloth. Launched in 2021, A–POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE aims to realise the infinite potential of the A–POC system with society in mind—hence the name 'ABLE'. The brand’s designer Yoshiyuki Miyamae and his team of engineers value the dialogue between creator and wearer, as they engage with different professions and industries to further explore new possibilities in design and making.
A–POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE will make its debut at 3daysofdesign presenting new lamps from the TYPE-XIII Atelier Oï project. Initiated in 2024, this ongoing collaborative work with Swiss design studio, atelier oï, explores a concept that combines 'a piece of cloth' and 'a piece of wire' to create innovative lighting products. The new colours of the portable O Series are inspired by nature. The pleated fabric shade can be detached from its wire frame and interchanged, allowing it to adapt to different moods or environments. This flexible design brings a sense of playfulness and personalisation to everyday living spaces. Visitors are invited to engage with the lamps and experience how the new colours transform the atmosphere.
