after2 每 magnificent 7X2 |
|
A collection of furniture
prototypes |
|
17 每 26 Feb 2006 |
|
|
What would you create within a 500x500x500mm
space? This challenge was posed to 14 Furniture Design major students
from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts＊ (NAFA) Interior Design diploma
programme. |
|
See the results of their research, analysis
and creativity in after2 每 magnificent 7X2, an exhibition of original,
full-scale furniture prototypes, to be held at the NAFA Gallery 1 from
17 每 26 February 2006. |
|
All the pieces are conceptualised, designed and
produced on-campus by the students in NAFA＊s interior design workshop. |
|
500 x 500 x 500 |
|
The students were given a strict design
brief to generate furniture design ideas that would fit into a
500x500x500mm space. This encouraged them to take into account the
physical and emotional constraints posed by our contemporary environment
before designing a piece of furniture. |
|
Besides the volumetric challenge, the students
needed to consider three different manufacturing processes 每 the use of
materials; the interpretation of scale, proportion and ergonomics; and the
articulation of these functional values into form, detail and emotional
considerations. |
|
Award-winning young designers |

Amongst the 14 pieces are noted works done by: |
-

organised by Mapletree Investments and supported by the

out-of-the-box and share their excitement in creating a piece of
furniture. |
