Lexus to unveil three new works by world renowned designers at 2014 Milan Design Week

LDE_Overview_2014_MilanAlongside a showcase of the twelve winning works from the second Lexus Design Award (LDA), Lexus will unveil three new works by renowned designers as part of Lexus Design Amazing at this year’s Milan Design Week. Italian Fabio Novembre, Japanese Nao Tamura and MIT’s Tangible Media Group lead by Professor Hiroshi Ishii have created unique responses to the theme of “Amazing in Motion”. Lexus asked the designers to undertake the challenge of expressing the concept in a way that was completely new to their creative process.
