Projects

01 Sync-apore

Sync-apore is a Singapore-themed board game based on the lives of various Singaporeans. It is specifically targeted at reducing disparities in language and culture between foreign wives and their newfound families. Through the fun, informal interaction with their relatives, new immigrants are able to build lasting relationships whilst gaining compact cultural knowledge of Singapore.

02 Lionette

The concept store for Origins aims to seek a balance between nature and science by using a combination of wood and corian. Natural and clustered patterns inspired our proposal for a harmonious and defined flow in the concept store. Each component has its own mass, all relating to an overall vision. Lionette focuses on having an experimental journey of discovery throughout the store. Pico stands are designed for maximum modularity and adaptability.

03 Tupperwork

Targeted at busy workers who work as they eat, Tupperwork is a lunchbox that allows users to scoop up their rice with just one hand. The addition of an extruded slope aids this scooping action and prevents the dropping of food. The bowl is deep and round, allowing food to settle in the centre, whilst the wider angle of the bowl provides better food presentation than the usual takeaway.
