- ZZZN SLEEP APPAREL SYSTEM
As digital connectivity exposes us to an overwhelming stream of information, sleep remains the only time we can truly disconnect from the world. By combining cutting-edge technology with traditional wisdom, we introduce an innovative sleep system—seamlessly integrating rest into the closest thing to the body: clothing.
- SF Kyogen: Mono no Aware
"SF Kyogen 'Mono no Aware'" was held at the EXPO Hall "Shine Hat" as an official collaborative event of Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai. The production sought to create new forms of expression rooted in tradition by bridging the fields of art, performing arts, fashion, design, music, and gaming. Konel was responsible for the real-time visual direction using projection mapping within the venue.
- Green Signal
Green Signal is a time-based display that shows the amount of CO₂ reduction generated through individual reuse actions, such as swapping or purchasing secondhand items. At the Mercari Green Friday Project 2025: Reuse Fashion Park, clothing reused by visitors is transformed digitally into “threads.” The colors and materials of those garments become visual strands that weave together to form the passing time.
