This week designers paid tribute to Off-White founder Virgil Abloh
This week on Dezeen, we covered the news that Off-White founder and Louis Vuitton artistic director Virgil Abloh passed away aged 41.
Abloh died on Sunday from a "rare, aggressive form of cancer", which he had fought in private for the past two years.
Following his death, there was an outpouring of tributes paid by designers and creatives, including architects David Adjaye and Dong-Ping Wong.

Following the news of Abloh's death, we looked at 10 projects that illustrated his boundary-pushing approach. These included an IKEA receipt rug and his re-imagining of Nike's most iconic trainers.
During Miami art week, German car brand Mercedes-Benz revealed a solar-cell-powered electric car designed by Abloh. Unveiled with his family's blessing, the car has a transparent front bonnet that covers solar cells that would be used to charge its battery.
