JET MDW 2026

Kevin Chu designs JET for Karbony, a project inspired by the paper airplane, a universal symbol of childhood and its free, spontaneous imagination.
Crafted from woven carbon fiber, JET transforms the fragile lightness of paper into a strong, ultra-light structure, giving shape to a subtle paradox between memory and innovation. Suspended in space, the object responds even to the slightest air movements, creating delicate oscillations and ever-changing plays of shadow. Scalable up to architectural dimensions, JET can shift from a decorative element to an immersive installation, capable of engaging with its surroundings and redefining the perception of space through light, material, and motion.
