Our journey began with a unique commission from the venue - sourcing a weighing machine for artist KongKee's upcoming exhibition. What started as a focused task naturally evolved into a comprehensive design project, where we took charge of crafting the exhibition's complete spatial experience, from custom furniture pieces to meticulously designed display cabinets both backstage and in the souvenir area.
The project was consistently under tight deadlines, especially for the immersive space in the "Past. Present. Future. Blood. Tears. Wandering" exhibit hall. From design to production, we completed the " Bench Island Seat " for this space in less than 20 days.
The sofas feature an undulating terrain, offering visitors various seating options—whether sitting on the ground leaning against it, directly on the mountaintop, or nestled against the mountainside—allowing users to sit in any direction without restriction. Additionally, when standing at a wide-angle position in the hall and observing the three giant screens within the exhibit, the sofas in front resemble individual islands, creating a unique and captivating landscape.
In the “Room of the Making of,” we crafted custom display furniture, including the artist's desk and a lightbox table. To protect the artwork, we applied UV-protection film inside the lightbox, ensuring the lighting doesn’t damage the pieces during the exhibition.
We appreciate the opportunity to be part of this project and contribute to the immersive experience of KongKee's exhibition.
