One year have already passed and IFFS 2014 is here once again! This year the trade fair is much smaller as compared to last year's trade fair. But.... the size do not matter as 2014's trade fair was much more better than 2013's trade fair. Based on the layout and design items that were exhibited there.

| Designers Field |
Came across this booth, the Designers Field. Their booth had gotten bigger as compared to the past year in IFFS. Designers Field is a Thai/Danish company located in Bangkok.
They design, source and produce home interior- and furniture products.
I really love their products, especially those lightings and home decorative products.
I am sure you will love them as much as I do! Take a look at their product in the website,
Designers Field.

| Green Pavilion |
The Green Pavilion brings the attention to the concept of sustainability in the business environment, in the form of a “Garden”. It will be a key attraction to inspire and provoke the thinking process of moving towards sustainability in businesses.

Here are the platform exhibition by some of the schools. Its much more interesting as compared to 2013's platform exhibition. Their spaces were much more open compared to the previous years allowing more products and furnitures to be placed in a tight space. I enjoyed walking around looking at what new upcoming designers have created as well as what might be the new furniture trends.

And of course, our alumni school. Their concept this year was much more playful and brings back memories to the childhood times. I think the product students did a great job with their finishing as it was much better compared to last year's batch. Good job and keep it up!

| Studio248 |
Stepped into Studio248' booth, I was immediately attracted to the quirky and lovely products. Some of their items are also being sold by Air Division, like the shelf you saw in the picture above.
Take a look at the lamps hanging on the wall, it was i think casted in metal and the front cover can be easily removed by just pulling it off as they were attached on by magnets. So it will simply attach back firmly when you place it back. I called it the "Iron Man lamp". HAHAHA...

| Golf Jakkapun Charinrattana |
Our most favorable piece in the booth was the Three-legged magazine table that can be
used as a side table as well. This really cute and unique piece that can be dismantled and flat
packed. Golf a humble designer from Thailand was the one who designed this magazine
table, you can view more of his designs at Golf-JC.

Bench was a one off design competition that allow everyone to remember the former National Stadium by in ways that they only know how. It was a national icon, it has witnessed the glory of football matches, countless of concerts and the National Day parades. Despite the fact there is only one National Stadium, but there are a thousand, a millions of dreams and hopes filling up the stadium in the form of a roar. It was dear to every Singaporean. This competition allows everyone to recapture that thought and solidified into a piece of outdoor bench made from the actual wooden planks salvaged from the National Stadium itself.

Benches we thought made good use of the wood from the former national stadium

1: Shelter Bench by Lanzavecchia + Wai Design Studio
Described by them as a house, an alcove for lovers, a play house for children and offer shades to elderly seeking shelter away from the sun. A gathering point which encourages social or private gathering and interaction. It has a sublime identity that does not distract the surrounding, but engaging the public space efficiently.
2: A Tropical Torture Rack by Jason Ong
Despite the events happening in the National Stadium, sitting on those bench during the hot and humid days are similar to a mild torture. The scale of the bench is in relation to the human's body but hints of a torture rack.
3: Lumber by Hans Tan, Hans Tan Studio
His inspiration came from a fallen tree trunk where one would instinctively sit, hence in a way bringing it back to what it once was.
4: Bond by Sapp Cheng
To rediscover the spirit of togetherness, to emphasize strength in unity, the need of relying and trusting each other for it to succeed.
5: Community by Nathan Yong, Nathan Yong Design
Through his design, wanted to encourage eye contact as well as communications amongst others. Which is a nice idea, as it was designed to look like the indoor stadium, where everyone will sit facing inwards and people can concentrate on each other instead of being distracted with what is happening on the outside.
