Akoro by ABIBOO, Louis200 – Louis Vuitton

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Akoro by ABIBOO celebrates Monsieur Louis Vuitton’s 200th birthday by reimagining his original and timeless creation: the trunk.

„Akoro“ is a neologism derived from the term „Artista koro“ in Esperanto, which means „artist’s heart.“ Louis Vuitton envisioned design and innovation as tools to connect humanity. In a related way, Esperanto was conceived as an international language to unite cultures.

Akoro is a non-physical object that responds to its surroundings in real-time while providing an immersive journey to new frontiers: space travel and virtual realities.

While Akoro’s skin is dynamic and responds to the environment, its interior is kept untouched. The reactive nature of Akoro provides hints from the outside about the experiential secrets that it dearly protects inside, but it does not fully disclose it. As in love, only one person has the key to the depths of the heart’s secrets.

Louis Vuitton has chosen 200 visionaries worldwide who capture the spirit of the brand’s creator: activists, scientists, explorers, and artists. Each visionary has reinterpreted the trunk, a symbol of the item that led to the founding of the brand and the transformation of the way people travel. ABIBOO Studio’s piece is named Akoro.

ABIBOO Studio is a global design team specializing in architecture, self-sufficient and sustainable cities, space architecture, and digital art. Its founder, Spanish architect Alfredo Muñoz, has been recognized among Europe’s youngest leaders and designers. He currently divides his time between New York and Miami.
