01 BILLy

BILLy is an interactive toy that encourages Asian children to save electricity through motivation and education. It keeps track and displays the amount of electrical fees saved, then dispenses wishing pebbles of corresponding value that children can use to redeem rewards from their parents. 'Tips' cards that the children can pick up along the way teaches them simple methods for saving even more electricity, encouraging them to learn through experimentation and making the process more enjoyable and motivating.

02 Push

This family of soya sauce dispensers is inspired by how we apportion and quantify the amount of shampoo required with each pump. With added measurements, a squeezable pump and the use of translucent material, precision and efficiency are consequently achieved with ease.

Push keeps in line with Asian trends of healthy lifestyle and urban living, where there is an emphasis placed on precise and efficient cooking.

03 Luma

LUMA is a series of wooden toys that glow and shine. It is designed for story-telling and group interaction. Every vehicle glows and shines leaving a unique light trail when users attempt to move it. The light trail would fade off with time. Truck leaves a smoky trail; boat leaves a wavy trail and tank could shoot ‘light canon’. In short, LUMA creates a myriad of possibilities for story-telling and play for individual and/or group entertainment.

04 Single Port Laparoscopic Device

Single port laparoscopic surgery is a modern surgical technique in which an operation is performed through a small incision at the belly button. This technique is less painful and leaves minimal scarring on the patient. However, the procedure takes a long time, which causes laparoscopic thumb, a condition that sees superficial nerve damage to the thumb of the surgeon.

This suturing device offers omnidirectional access to buttons and comfortable grip for most Asian hands. Buttons are positioned at the front for better actuation by stronger fingers.
