2-Way Seat Covers (Prototype)

The Honda STEPWAGON and FINAL HOME have collaborated to design a water-repellent nylon seat cover that can also be used as a hooded parka. The rear seat cover becomes a two-person poncho that can be worn in times of sudden rainfall. Bright orange, which is also a symbol of FINAL HOME’s design concept, is easily identified and creates a high level of awareness toward safety.

"If we lose our house because of a disaster, war or unemployment, as a fashion designer, what kind of clothes would I propose - and how would they look in trouble-free times?"

Nylon coat came about from me pondering this question. Its concept is "a cloth which can be adapted according to need". For example, to protect against the cold, you can put newspapers in the pockets, or if you equip it with survival rations and a medical kit, it becomes a valuable cloth when taking refuge. The name "FINAL HOME" was first given to this particular garment, and then it became their brand name - it equates to the idea of it being the "ultimate shelter" (PHOTO). LINK: DNP The coat comes in three basic colors: "orange" to remind of one's existence; "khaki" to blend in with the forest and "black" to assimilate in the city. Directions for use are written on the bag in which the coat comes. This coat is recyclable. After enjoying it as a fashion item, please wash it thoroughly and bring it to one of our outlets. We will donate it to organizations such as NGO for the benefit of refugees or disaster victims. For further details, please read the message card enclosed in the bag. FINAL HOME welcomes suggestions from customers and ideas for new projects.

Kosuke TSUMURA

FINAL HOME evolved from ISSEY MIYAKE Inc. (became A-net Inc. in 1996) and now exists as a brand synonymous with the concepts of survival, protection, functionality and recycleability. At the same time, FINAL HOME has been seen at numerous exhibitions around the world such as Mode Japonisme (1995 in Paris) and Venezia Biennale (2000). FINAL HOME holds presentations with artists such as DJ Krush and participates in refugee relief charity events. FINAL HOME's manufacturing concept resembles more an industrial manufacturing process, rather than fashion design and production. Our products display particularities in their fabric and functionality, designed to aid survival in various conditions in urban life. For example, we use industrial supplies such as air-conditioning filters and take inspiration from hunting garments and army coats in the creation of our products. Our branding hasn't limited us to clothes alone. Our range also includes lifestyle items such as cardboard sofas, pocket sofa covers and chocolate candles. FINAL HOME develops new products through extensive experimentation and in collaboration with companies in other industries. These products are presently sold directly through six outlets across the nation and through selective shops in Europe and Asia (as at April 2002).

In our modern times with an oversupply of information, it's even more difficult to communicate intimately. For such a society, we probably need a spiritual shelter to shut out information. This work embodies this concept by the smallest unit of communication, that between 'mother and child' Exhibited the Venezia Biennale Show
