“V for Vase” presents the processes and results of a workshop collaboration between Hans Tan Studio and the National University of Singapore Industrial Design Programme.

The “imaginative thinking” workshop directed by Hans Tan consists of a series of progressive exercises aimed at unraveling one’s imaginal thoughts and developing one’s lateral thinking abilities. “Vase” was chosen as the subject for the workshop where each of the 24 final year industrial design students apply aptitudes harnessed from the workshop to reconceptualize the notion of a ‘vase’ and develop a design proposition in the form of an object or an installation.

The exhibition reveals 24 conceptual vases and documents more than a hundred unique vase definitions developed during the workshop, which would prove more telling than that found in the dictionary – “An open container, usually used for holding flowers or for ornamentation.”
