Exhibition “TOKUJIN
YOSHIOKA x LG: S.F_Senses of the Future”

Recognized by International
Jury of Peers at World’s Largest Design Event

MILAN, April 7, 2017 — LG and
world-renowned designer Tokujin Yoshioka took the top prize at Milano Design
Award 2017 for the collaborative art installation, TOKUJIN YOSHIOKA x LG: S.F_Senses of the
Future. The large-scale light installation was praised by Milan Design Week’s judging
panel for its “ability to synthesize the conceptual, technological, narrative
and emotional aspects in one single project.” The installation is on exhibit until 9 April at Superstudio
Più in Milan.

TOKUJIN YOSHIOKA x LG: S.F_Senses of the
Future combines LG’s
cutting-edge technology with Tokujin Yoshioka’s groundbreaking experimental
designs to illustrate
humanity’s relationship with the natural world and to illuminate LG’s human-centric
design philosophy. The
exhibition consists of two parts, S.F chairs alongside Wall of
the Sun, and artfully taps into the innovative properties of LG’s OLED
display and lighting technologies.

“This is a tremendous honor for us as we are immensely proud of the exhibit
we designed for Milano Design Week this year,” said Tokujin Yoshioka. “The
collaboration with LG and their unique technology was a special experience for
me and this recognition make the effort that much more rewarding.”

“As the center of the design world, hundreds of thousands of design
enthusiasts visit Milan every year looking for upcoming trends and we are
extremely proud to be a part of that narrative,” said Noh Chang-ho, head of corporate design at LG
Electronics. “To receive this honor in the design capital of the world is
humbling and truly rewarding.”
