Project Information
Kitsune, a mythical fox in Japanese culture, possesses people and only reveals its true form in shadow or reflection. The fox is cunning and comes out at night, rarely seen.
Our young designers used this idea to create their version of a Yatai – a Japanese food truck – for the 2011 State of Design Festival and its Design That Moves theme.
The truck, which appeared to be a normal truck by day, adapted to each of its evening locations by revealing its true form – a series of boxes that spilled out from the truck and then pack away like a babushka doll inside. A team from Schiavello fitted out the truck and glow printing techniques by Seesaw Design were used as a final touch in the reveal. In order to find it, people had to download the festival’s iPhone app or follow Chasing Kitsune’s Facebook or Twitter pages, all of which revealed its
location.
