Exhibtion Introduction

New Optimistic Works focuses on original contemporary design with distinct personality, for a worthwhile and aesthetic way of living.

The first exhibition of New Optimistic Works presents CASE STUDY: DESIGN & MADE IN SINGAPORE, the alchemy of dialogues, experimentations, and ideas.

This exhibition showcases a collection of objects that explores possibilities and experiments with manufacturing capabilities in Singapore. Working with familiar materials, and transforming them with new ideas, this project adopts a hands-on research process – made possible only by the many insightful conversations and working sessions with the makers and designers in a tight ecosystem.

This project works with Singapore designers and artists Tiffany Loy, Hans Tan, Nathan Yong, Forest & Whale, Kim Choy and Studio Juju. And made in Singapore by makers and manufacturers: Mud Rock Ceramics, Shibui Furniture Collective, Baremetalco., Wah Chye Engineering Work, Chop Wah Hin Sheet Metal Works, A Thing of Sense and Synergraphic Design.

New Optimistic Works is a design label creatively directed by Studio Juju.
