    Perceptual artist Michael Murphy transforms 2,000 customer thank you letters into art installation celebrating Lexus guest experience.


    'Letters' - a 3-D installation by perceptual art pioneer Michael Murphy - is revealed as part of a new marketing campaign celebrating the Lexus guest experience. The 16-foot art piece, which hangs from six ceiling panels and a steel frame, features more than 2,000 suspended pieces of origami, each constructed from individual thank you letters from guests to their Lexus dealerships. From one vantage point, the origami art pieces create the shape of the all new 2018 LS sedan, while from another vantage point it takes the shape of the Lexus logo.

    "This is a very tight, precise craft. If it is more than one millimeter off it is considered an error" - Murphy (above)
    With the brand's launch in 1989, Lexus reinvented the luxury car market - introducing new levels of service, customer satisfaction, and quality never before offered by any of the leading brands of the time.

    That commitment, captured in the Lexus Covenant, is the inspiration for the 'Letters' campaign. It is a pledge to value the customer as an important individual, to do things right the first time, and to always exceed expectations.

    To showcase the installation, Lexus has created a 60-second video featuring guests reading their handwritten letters to dealerships as a Lexus craftsman carefully folds and hangs each one.

    Murphy refers to his pieces as perceptual art because the main emphasis of the work is on the viewers' perception.

    The project took hundreds of hours to complete, with the folding and hanging of each origami piece taking nearly 200 hours.

    The 'Letters' art installation - which measures 8-feet wide by 16-feet long, and is suspended 13 feet from the ground - was designed by the artist to be fully transportable, making it available for viewing at select corporate and dealer events across the country.
