\"Lexus
\nFirst launched in 2013, the Lexus Design Award<\/a> is a yearly competition that aims to\u00a0discover and foster young talent from around the globe.\u00a0This year, the Japanese automobile company returned for\u00a0its fifth year. With a theme entitled \u201cYET\u201d, contestants were\u00a0asked to submit their most ambitious\u00a0designs for\u00a0easier life. This motif, which asked contestants to find synergy among seemingly incompatible concepts, is one that runs through Lexus to its core, with the brand always striving towards providing drivers with simple solutions for\u00a0everyday living.
\n\"Salone
\nAt last week’s Salone del Mobile in Milan, the contest’s four prototype finalists had the opportunity to present their inventions, created under the mentorship of some of the industry’s top architects and designers. Only one person could win, and this year’s victor was Hiroto Yoshizoe with “PIXEL”, a structure that allows onlookers to experience light\u00a0yet<\/em> shadow. Read on to learn all about Yoshizoe’s winning prototype, as well as the\u00a0remaining designs from the competition’s three\u00a0runner-ups.<\/p>\n

The 2017 Lexus Design Awards Winner<\/h2>\n

\"Pixel “PIXEL”<\/p>\n

“PIXEL” by Hiroto Yoshizoe (Japan)
\nLight YET shadow<\/em><\/strong> \nUsing a grid of visors in various hues, “PIXEL” allows onlookers to experience the phenomenon of light and shadow at its most fundamental core. Mentored by the design-duo Snarkitecture, this winning design aims to divide, transform and connect, all at once.<\/p>\n

The 3 Prototype Finalists<\/h2>\n

\"Having “Having Nothing and Yet Possessing Everything”<\/p>\n

“Having nothing, and yet possessing everything” by Ahran Won (Korea\/USA)
\n<\/strong>Having nothing YET everything<\/em><\/strong> \nCreated under the tutelage of Shanghai-based Neri and Hu, Ahran Won’s prototype asks, “What is the meaning of objects in our lives?” Described as “a capsule for mobile living, having nothing yet everything”, this design is a multi-purpose storage and table space perfect for small living quarters.<\/p>\n

\"Player's “Player’s Pflute”<\/p>\n

“Player’s Pflute” by Jia Wu (China)
\nVegetable YET a musical instrument<\/em><\/strong> \nGeared towards children, “Player’s Pflute” is a modular music system that helps younger ones connect with music. Comprising a multitude of mouthpieces, holes, punchers and connectors, the prototype encourages improvisation and creativity. Created by Jia Wu, the\u00a0Royal College of Art graduate worked alongside mentor Max Lamb during the design process.<\/p>\n

\"Structural “Structural Color – Static Yet Changing”<\/p>\n

“Structural Color – Static Yet Changing” by Jessica F\u00fcgler
\nStatic YET changeable<\/em>
\n<\/strong>Under the mentorship of Italian architect Elena Manferdini, Jessica F\u00fcgler’s “Structural Color – Static Yet Changing” is a project dealing with perceptions of colour based on perspective. Rather than relying on pigmentation to achieve colour, in this prototype a set of cubes appear either green or brown based on refraction and diffraction of light.
