Clothing brand [A-Poc Able](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/programmable-clothing) Issey Miyake works with design firm Atelier Oï on the TYPE-XIII Atelier Oï project exhibition. This is a delicate lighting system that is on display at Milan Design Week made using wire and a single piece of off-white tonal cloth. The exhibition aims to bring two lighting collections together: the [O series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-o-series-1) and the A series.

A-Poc Able head designer Yoshiyuki Miyamae told [Dezeen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crafted-world-exhibition-1), "Just as people arrange flowers in a space to suit the season or welcome guests, this lighting series allows users to carry and arrange the lights freely, adapting them to different moods and environments." Also detailed by flowers is the A series that was made using the brand's APOC technique and has a pendant lamp made from a tube of cloth.
