Solo exhibitor Karyn Lim headlined her own show called So Plast!c – which featured home decor accessories made from recycled plastics – at SaloneSatellite, dedicated to designers under the age of 35. Every year, about 370,000 attendees from 188 countries use the global platform to introduce thousands of innovative products.
One of the Future Impact exhibits is Forest & Whale’s interactive wall poster called Wallflower, which transforms seeds into art. It is composed of multicoloured tesserae or tiles, embedded with seeds which can be torn off and planted. At Gabriel Tan Studio’s booth, a lighting installation titled Aiming For Peace: Carnation Lamps takes centre stage.
