Piaggio and Feng Chen Wang, one of the most innovative and experimental fashion designers on the international scene, have come together to create a very special edition of the Piaggio 1. An electric scooter with a truly original livery combines the natural element of water with the phoenix, reproduced by hand using the traditional Chinese brushstroke technique. Symbolising virtue, grace and sustainability, it is brimming with the latest Piaggio technology and carries a meaningful message in bold, head-turning fashion.
Feng Chen Wang was born in Fujian, a province in South East China but her experimental nature took her to London where she studied at the prestigious Royal College of Art. Within just a few years she established herself as an avant-garde designer, working with Nike, Converse, UGG, Levi’s and other iconic global brands. Conceptual and highly functional, her unique style seamlessly reinterprets Chinese tradition through vibrant modern materials.
The Piaggio 1 Feng Chen Wang sports a striking livery that fuses Chinese tradition with the designer’s extraordinary hallmark creativity. It effortlessly combines the major influences in her life, drawing inspiration from the spectacular landscapes of Fujian, where she was born and raised, while displaying the more modern, multiform aspects of her London experience. The precise shade of green used on the seat upholstery and wheel rims recalls the native fauna of her homeland, while also representing health, harmony and prosperity.
The collaboration with Feng Chen Wang also includes a helmet and unisex streetwear Capsule Collection, a series of wearable works of art that reinterpret traditional Chinese decorative techniques with a decidedly modern and avantgarde twist.
Made from reclaimed materials, the T-SHIRTS, JACKETS and TROUSERS are a tangible expression of the designer’s commitment to sustainability, respect for nature and creative recycling.
