SUPERGUM - I have always been fascinated by the different types of welding between metal.The shape formed by the filler material are rather random.What if there is a chance to create an "artificial" beautiful weld?Then it will be perceived as a piece of art rather than an industrial work.This beautiful weld created joining the two pieces of brass rod then becomes a usable door handle,Supergum.The weld is designed of a refined shape and because of its artificiality, it becomes a point of interest.
THE BREIL TOWER - Poetic in design & an interpretation of Breil as the rising leader in timepieces,the structures that lie beneath the glass are arranged in a linear manner represented as skyscrapers along a street.Descending height of the bronze blocks unveil a tall and towering structure in a shimmering gold cladding overlooking the city.It stands tall & proud as the Breil tower.Positioned at the center top where the clock strikes 12,it is strategic & symbolic.Let us celebrate Breil as it rises above the rest.
STILL A CLOCK BY NIGHT 03 - By hosting light as an interesting creation, the attributes of light can be further exploited by having two fluorescent tubes acting as the short and long hands of a floor standing clock. Glare is prevented by housing it in a metal tubing. When night falls and the surrounding darkens, the light goes into action by hitting against the back wall, projecting a soft glow around the tubes, outlining the silhouettes of the hands. It functions as a table lamp for enhanced usability.
SOFT HANDS - The soft hands of the clock tells the time quietly,somehow going against the hustle & bustle of our fast moving environment.If we were to slow down our pace and notice the soft imprints on the surface, there could be more than rushing through time.

The minimal textured finishing of gold plating also gives a dreamy blurry reflection.It is a chain of objects that formed a beautiful space.

ICON - "An icon of the past, encapsulated for all to see." - Many Designers in the past & present have done well in designing beautiful chandeliers because of the uprising trend & the need to express their thoughts on it .

It will still be in its usefulness as a functional lightbox.

RUBBER SCAPE - The exercising of thoughts to conjure an idea of introducing nature and furniture to coexist in a common environment.

His true colours will only be read clearly when the right perspectives are caught.
