These designers from Singapore show us the future of design during Milan Design Week
G Genevieve Ang, a ceramics artist and co-founder of the architecture firm Studio Gin&, and Clement Zheng of Interactive Materials Lab worked together to discover how classic materials and technology can be combined. Hidden circuits allow the engaging ceramic goods known as Reciproco to transfer heat from one object to another. When touched, warmth from the fingers changes the color of the pieces, thanks to a level of thermo- chromatic color.
We wanted to reevaluate our conceits that pottery embodie technology’s fundamental principles. We were then prompted to wonder what tech itself means. Additionally, glass waste is used to create the green ceramics glaze, which demonstrates how by examining what we thought was the answer to innovation’s potential solution, Ang added. Zheng continued,” Handcrafting” circuits also result in electronic devices that feel significantly more individual to a man or a room from the perspective of electronics.”
Mosaic Membrane is another task that pushes its originator beyond her comfort zone. Textile designer Tiffany Loy gave mosaics, usually viewed as walls- or floor- cladding material, a unique spin. Her espresso table has mosaic tiles created by European mosaic experts Friul Mosaic that have been “wrapped” in recovered glass.
