Date: March 26, 2015
Hours: 7:30pm to 9pm,
Place: Kilo Lounge
We spend our life inside buildings and the way we relate and we design the interiors of our apartments is a mirror of culture and personality. Particular in Singapore, where the condo created an n-unit dwelling, they ways people furnish their apartment and the objects they surround themselves with, are strictly connected with personality and culture of the cosmopolitan island. In the last years, Singaporean designers created products that play semantically upon shared socio-cultural meanings.
The lecture aims at reading retrospectively what Singaporean society is via domestic spaces and design products and to compare it to other Asian realities.
