We worked with Villa Eugénie to design a robotic visual experience inspired by Flemish painting tradition to showcase Stone Island's latest research prototype at every angle.

Using light, smoke and kinetics, we created new devices for Stone Island's installation titled Through the Looking Glass, exhibited during Milan's fuori salone.

As in the virtuous Flemish tradition of painting, a distorting lens allows for hidden details of PROTOTYPE RESEARCH_SERIES 06 to be revealed, involving the body in a multi-sensory experience. Four concentric circles acting as a diaphragm towards the next floor create a visual tunnel that leads the gaze from the macro to the micro, while still leaving the observer free to build a personal perception of the maquette.

From the close-up on the weave of the fabric to the distortion of the form through to kaleidoscopic shades of the colour and logo, the perception of vision varies as the observer moves through the space.

The Prototype Series are a collection of limited editions initiated by Stone Island in 2016 to showcase design research. Each project consists of a 100 numbered items, made with innovative technologies in new fabrics and treatments. SERIES 06 is the result of a close collaboration between Kevlar's R&D team and Stone Island's research and experimentation department.
