The installation took place at the exhibition area of the leading international design retailer Space in Singapore. CONFETTI combined finished products and prototypes within one exhibit, demonstrating the way ideas cross pollinate and reinforce our design principles. CONFETTI took the viewer on a journey, exploring the theme of structure, and the principles of tension and compression within design.
The exhibition consisted of an imposing black box which the viewer circumnavigates. The exhibits were housed within a fissure that runs along the perimeter of the black box. This fault line changed in height and depth to form lit displays for the objects.
Apart from CONFETTI, voonwong∓bensonsaw also created PAVILION, a timber structure set in the patio area of Space, to house Serralunga’s family of lit Vas-One pots. voonwong&bensonsaw’s dedication to the theme of structure is exemplified again as lattice panels of criss-crossing timber struts make up the canopy and walls of PAVILION. The irregular lattice is silhouetted against the lit Serralunga pots. In contrast to the dark timber lattice and the white translucent pots, a splash of colour is introduced by the bright green Astroturf on the floor of PAVILION.
