“Small Thoughts, Big Ideas” A showcase of industrial design talent at SingaporePosted by: cc in industrial designWhat do you get when you release 15 accomplished industrial designers from their strict corporate guidelines; and give them permission to “design anything they want”? To find out, visit the “Small Thoughts, Big Ideas” exhibition, held at The Arts House, from 20-29th November 2009 (Opening hours: 11am to 8pm daily). The exhibition showcases the broad range of work designed by these talented individuals, and is a fringe activity of the Icsid World Design Congress 2009, organised by the Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts (MICA). Known as The Little Thoughts Group, the participating designers are practicing professionals, working for electronic, automotive, computer, furniture, sports and other companies – in Singapore as well as various parts of Asia. Their work is the expression of their different backgrounds and deeply personal perspectives. And the exhibition was conceptualized as a look into a designer’s mind when he’s not at his day job! From electrical appliances to furniture; from decorative ornaments to fascinating gadgets, the work on display includes experimental installations and even ideas that never saw the light of day – concepts in the form of models, idea sketches and art-work. Every design has an engaging story. Some are fascinating, some moving, some inspiring, some simply amusing. Come view the designs and discover the stories of how small thoughts grow into big ideas. NUS ID Guest Critics, Lee Leong Chye, Jeremy Sun, Tan Lun Cheak and NUS ID graduate Lee Yun Qin will showcase their works in the exhibition.

“V for Vase” exhibition at Singapore Design Festival 2009Posted by: cc in Designer, design thinking, life style product“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.” For more information about Hans Tan Studio, please visit: http://www.hanstan.net/ Visitor Information Venue Opening hours Opening party Free Admission The Old City Hall is located within a five minute walk from either Clarke Quay or City Hall MRT station.

This design allows people to rearrange their furniture in any manner they want based on the given amount of space.
Special Mention Prize: Chung Sui Fai, Cheng Siew Ming We aim to bring along a playful and joyful atmosphere during the construction and utilization of the workspace. It comes as a modular unit which users can customize their own workspace, revealing a high level of versatility. The concept revolves around snap fitting between various parts, which makes it easy for building or dismantling and with which the elements on the workspace can be arranged according to one’s favor. In addition, besides using vibrant colors for parts of the modular unit to evoke a more pleasant workstation, there is the introducing of greenery in the office. Studies had been made that greenery is an important element that helps to contribute in improving work productivity. The greenery is placed at a prominent spot; on top of the panels.
