Honda X Pratt

Speculative Design & Strategy

Developed as part of a collaborative workshop with Honda R&D and Pratt Institute, NEXUS is a speculative mobility concept focused on sustainable efficiency. Using AI-driven as a tool in the research methodology, the project introduced the EcoBoots, a groundbreaking wearable technology that integrates mobility with energy generation to promote a greener future.

The design process progressed from initial brainstorming and storytelling to refined 3D models, a narrative-driven promotional video, and packaging design. NEXUS debuted at the 2024 International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) and was featured in Core77, exemplifying the potential of innovative design thinking and speculative ideation.
