Journey of Reflection,
an Invitation into the Designers’ Inner World
At Milan Design Week 2026, Kia presents two sensorial journeys under the theme of “Resonance of Opposites.” “Journey of Reflection” explores inner reflection, while “Journey of Projection” embodies outward expression — revealing how Kia Design thinks and expresses itself, as the two journeys connect organically within a single narrative.
The first journey begins at Museo della Permanente. “Reflection” symbolizes the process of sharing diverse thoughts and understanding one another’s unexpected perspectives. Through the designers’ inward gaze, “Journey of Reflection” reinterprets the cultural characteristics of “OPPOSITES UNITED,” revealing the essential philosophy of Kia Design within.

Journey of Projection: Tracing the Evolution of Kia Design Through Six EV Concept Cars
The journey that began in inner reflection extends into Kia’s future EV vision. Experience the flow that continues from “Journey of Projection.”
Contemplation that begins within expands into the world outside. Kia Design brings the direction discovered through reflection into reality and its future EV vision. The inward gaze of “Journey of Reflection” continues into the sensorial experience of “Journey of Projection.” More than an exhibition, this is both the process of growth Kia Design has built and a journey of exploration toward a sustainable future.
