There are so many things I like about Marc Newson’s works. Let’s cut to the chase, isn’t his furniture designs simply brilliant? Take for example the Orgone Stretch Lounge, a companion piece to the Event Horizon Table and the Read more →

@ Widad Darke

I simply find myself drawn to the work of Ross Lovegrove, which are mainly inspired by nature and organic in form.

One of the designers that I can best identify with is Fukusawa. I find most of his designs soothing for the eyes as it embraces the beauty of minimalism yet not causing it to look boring by adding pops of colour to his products. I love that he often uses earthy tones and round edges to present his work.

@ Song Yu

Of the artists, the one which I admire the most is Yves Behar. To simply conceptualize consumer products is something most designers do, but Yves takes it a step further by ensuring that his products are both commercially viable and incite some form of social good, to have a purpose beyond that of its literal function.

On a personal level, I Read more →

designers are not artists... especially industrial designers... emotion (of the artist) is only one aspect. Please refer to my presentation slide...
