01 Uplift

Uplift is a wearable mobility aid that caters to elderly with mild mobility challenges. The elastic band used in the product expands and contracts, accommodating joint movements. This provides additional support and an intuitive rehabilitative function for weakened limbs while walking. Uplift seeks to improve the quality of the walking experience, which in turn serves to maintain the fitness of the elderly.

02 Lighthouse

Lighthouse utilises SIMTech's new printed lighting technology, which enables light sources to exist in a thin and flexible form.

Lighthouse is a portable and retractable delineation lighting system, which uses the technology's attributes to improve the efficiency of road traffic management at night. The retractable light strips allow greater distances to be covered with minimal logistical demands. Lighthouse eliminates the need for additional isolated lighting sources, which vastly improves road safety by reducing unnecessary confusion and glare for road users.

03 Structural Mosaic

Origins is a cosmetic brand that focuses on using science to harvest the essence of nature’s ingredients. Therefore, the concept of our booth design, Structural Mosaic, aims to interpret this through different compositions of basic cubic structures. Each product is encapsulated by the space within a cube to emphasise the purity of the product in a visual manner. Also, the modular nature of the booth’s structure allows versatility in the creation of different physical space for different spatial needs
