This document discusses designing for more sustainable behaviors and consumer habits. It covers topics like consumerism, sustainability, cultural behaviors, and how design can influence behaviors to be more environmentally friendly. It provides four things individuals can do as consumers and designers to promote sustainability: eat less meat and more local/seasonal foods, buy minimally and avoid waste, consume less power, and vote for leaders who support renewable energy and address climate change.

We live in the Planet of Plastic Sea, and we don't usually think this to be our fault, but what if that coffee cup we disposed for recycle is actually part of a Plastic Island at this very moment?
We are consumers and we are designers. That counts as some of the greatest powers someone can have these days. This talk comes to enlighten us on our responsibility as gate keepers, with demonstrations of simple acts we can take as consumers and designers to lead the behavior of a sustainable future.

10. EDITOR’S NOTE
LET’S GET PERSONAL
The bathroom, to me, is a
sacred space. It is where I go
to if I need to clean my body
and also to clear my mind.
Growing up in a family with
three boys, I noticed how
my mother would retreat
to the bathroom everytime
she was stressed out by the
children. The amount of time
she spent in there would be
proportionate to her level
of distress. Once, when all
three of us failed our subjects
in school, she locked herself
in the master bathroom
for the entire evening.
No one really believes
that bathrooms are nothing
more than a place to get our
business done or for grabbing
a quick shower anymore. The
bathroom has taken a pride
of place for many, especially
since it’s a small space where
ūäÚÁĢÁƅĩŅàőĩʼnłěŖŅúäÁ
little bit more just to make it
look and feel better. Likewise,
bathroom designs have evolved
őĩŅäƉäÚőőĂäàĆƅäŅäĢőŅĩěäʼnĆő
plays in our modern lifestyle.
I like to treat my daily
bathroom visits like quick
stops to my own in-house
spa. There’s a waterproof
speaker in there, connected
to my Spotify playlist, as
well as my favourite scent
àĆƅŖʼnäŅ͡ĢäŰőőĩġűʼnőÁʼnĂĩù
soap, to help calm me down.
I keep a stack of rolled up
handtowels by my sink too, to
add to that pampering feel.
Living in a time that is
moving at lightning speed, and
we are constantly rushing to
go somewhere or get things
done, spending quality time
with ourselves in the bathroom
is perhaps the one form of
ěŖŰŖŅűőĂÁőūäÚÁĢőŅŖěű
provide ourselves. So go take
a long bath, or buy that pricey
shower gel you love so much,
because at the end of the day,
you know you are worth it.

to create a focal point in the
bathroom because of its size and,
well, the fact that most of the
items in the area tend to be more
utilitarian instead of fancy. That’s
why we suggest paying just a bit
more attention to the design of
the bathroom sink. A unique sink
can anchor the entire look of the
space, so choose wisely.
DO AWAY WITH
DOORS
Don’t want to close your
bathroom up? Simply
replace the traditional swing
door with a sliding version
in clear or frosted glass.
Sliding doors are great for
master bathrooms, as they
tend to open directly into
the bedroom or walk-in

UNWIND IN
SOPHISTICATION
In the unending chaos of our fast-paced
world, the bathroom assumes its rightful
place as a sanctuary for serenity.
Imagine an escape from the disruptive, demanding toils of our world. A quiet,

from all the noise seeking your attention. A place to simply be.
More and more in our modern world, that place is the bathroom.

lives today, designers are returning to organic shapes and forms. Ergonomic
designs that can withstand the test of time are the currency of today, lending
themselves to spaces that are comfortable, peaceful, and simple. These
designs endure - but even moreso, provide much-needed relaxation to the
everyday homeowner in want of a moment to themselves. Understanding
this, premium sanitaryware brand Rigel is on a mission to provide

Simplicity That Soothes
Maximalism may pop in a photo, but the human
eye much prefers the simplicity of organic shapes
and textures. Of late, calming designs and colours
have proven popular among homeowners, who

seamlessly with their bathroom’s overall look. The
goal is to keep things clutter-free and easy to use,
thus promoting a sense of harmony. As Queer
Eye Interior Design guru Bobby Berk once said,
“Coming home to a tidy, pulled-together space will
help everything in your life feel the same way.”
Providing style and sophistication to any
bathroom in need of Zen, Rigel’s Stellar 3.0 Shower

Self-taught interior designer and
founder of Wolf Woof, Carmen Tang
tackles unconventional design briefs
with imagination, exploration and
perceptiveness to bring out clients’
personalities in her projects. When
it comes to beginning her next
interior design project, one thing you
will not see design director of Wolf

inspiration from other designers.

or the director and
founder of Wolf Woof,
this design approach
that does not rely on finding
inspiration through Pinterest
boards and social media posts,
and the way she interacts with
her clients, is as important
as the final design outcome.
Perceptive of people’s tastes
and personalities, Carmen has
an uncanny ability to take even
the vaguest of client briefs and
distil initial ideas into concepts
and into forms. She recalls
multiple instances where, while
initially puzzled by a strange
or unique design brief, through
continuous conversations with
the clients and the exploration
of how briefs could manifest
themselves into interesting,
personality-driven interiors,
she delivered spaces that were
reflections of their owners’
desires. “I attribute my
intuition and the way I can tell
little things and nuances in my
clients to helping me to design
projects that are uniquely for
them,” Carmen says. “I try
to dig deep in terms of what
clients might or might not like;
sometimes it’s as subtle as
listening to the way they talk
or interpreting the reference
examples that they show me
that helps me to discover who
they are and what they want.”
Unconventional Beginnings
With an unconventional entry
into the world of interior design
(Carmen had initially started
her career as a copywriter-
slash-marketing executive), the
Wolf Woof director describes
her early works as being very
graphic-driven, very bold
and fun. In a similar fashion
2
40
44. to how she took on advertising
campaigns in her previous
career, Carmen adapted the
strategy to interior design
projects that came her way. “I
aim to not do predictable work,”
she elaborates. “So I approached
every project as having one
central visual element that would
then pull the concept together.”
Carmen feels that coming
from a different background
other than interior design has,
in some ways, given her less
constraints in terms of what
she perceived to be possible and
impossible in design. “I wanted
to be the breath of fresh air in
the industry,” recalls Teng. “I
would think of an idea first and
scramble looking for ways to
make it happen.”

45. With years came an
eventual evolution of her style,
which she jokingly refers to
as being ‘really everywhere’.
“People want you to transform
a home that they can enjoy
for a long time. My aim is to
interpret different styles and
satisfy the client,” says the
designer. Indeed, the biggest
progression in Carmen’s
approach to design is the
greater variety of influences
and an even greater ability
to interpret unconventional
briefs into memorable
interiors. She attests that
though her works are still
bold now, they have slowly
progressed to ooze more
sophistication and are a lot
more varied in style.
Sky is the Limit
With project names like the
Campervan Adventure Theme
Home, Bear Rabbit Home
and Bruce Wayne’s Dark Lair
under her belt, it’s not hard
to see why Carmen does not
play by the rules. She does not
shy away from unique project
briefs, saying that she often
seeks out projects that can put
her in a discomfort zone so
she can challenge herself as a
designer.
True to her character, the
design director’s upcoming
projects give a similar glimpse
of the playfulness and whimsy
that’s become the signature
approach in her projects.
She is currently working
on two projects in the same
development, with both
units having the same exact
brief and a challenge of not
overlapping the same ideas
to give each homeowner what
they deserve.
Her dream project brief? “I
want to go full retro,” Carmen
says. “’I’d love to use a lot of
authentic, vintage stuff. It’s
important because when you
use old items, the flavour
and the charm will come out
very different.”
The Bear and Rabbit Home
Communication plays an
important part in all of Carmen
Teng’s projects. Working closely
with the owners of a four-room
HDB BTO flat, Carmen drew
out aspects of the owners’
personalities that inspired the
unique and whimsical décor of
the unit. “The owner seemed
mild and quiet at first, but
through conservations, I found
him to be a very warm guy, like
a bear; while the wife’s Chinese
zodiac sign was a Rabbit, I

incorporated both animals
into the feature wall design,”
recalls Carmen.
She used unorthodox
materials and abstracted
shapes for the feature wall,
infilling the shapes of the bear
and the rabbit with artificial
grass – a material that found
its way to be one of the key
accent elements throughout the
house. “Grass and nature take
on different forms throughout
the home and reveal more of
the homeowners’ lifestyle,
like the grass surface to hold
the husband’s bicycle, which
became a prominent display
together with the quotes on
wall in the background,” she
explains.
KEY WORKS
1. ASTRO BOY HOME
Carmen lovingly refers
to the project as the
one ‘that started it all.”
Her first interior design
commission where
she could explore an
unconventional design
brief that led to a unique
concept inspired by the
Japanese animation
character Astroboy
and Belgian comic strip
character Tintin. The
graphically-driven look
against the almost-all-
white backdrop canvas
and the splashes of
yellow encapsulated
the playfulness and
out-of-the-box thinking
that Carmen brought
with her to this project.
Although her very
first commission,
the apartment is a
testament to Carmen’s
bold and daring style
that propelled her to not
to shy away from even
the strangest of design
briefs over the years.
2. THE COLLECTOR’S
DREAM HOME
“Our client loves
robots and has a cool
collection. To give her
the feature wall that a
unique person like her
deserves, we created
a bespoke design that
incorporated both 2D
vinyl sticker and 3D
objects that include
pressure gauges, game
joysticks, digital clock
and battery-operated
wall lights,” describes
Carmen of her whimsical
approach for a home
that defies any definition
of a prescribed style.
She worked closely
with her client and
had literally put the TV
feature wall by piecing
LEGO pieces together
to form the shape of
a game console in the
living room. “I remain
extremely proud of this
one-of-its-kind feature
as it is never before
done (or at least it’s
an original idea from
my end) and it remains
refreshingly unique till
this day,” says Carmen.
3. CAMPERVAN
ADVENTURE THEME
HOME
A clever play on the
client’s name as well
as the overall design
approach to a home
for couple who likes
to travel, this project
incorporated an
adventure theme to tie
all the spaces together.
Thus, for the central
feature element for the
living room, Carmen
designed a graphic
campervan feature
surrounded by topical
props that reflected the
owners’ love for travel.
“You can see the strong
graphic influence in
this project with all
my bespoke artworks
and concept,” says
Carmen, referencing
her background
in advertising and
branding.
4. BRUCE WAYNE’S
DARK LAIR
One of the most fun
briefs that Carmen
recalls working on was
a project inspired by
Bruce Wayne’s house.
The brief called for
a dark and moody
enclave influenced
by the setting of the
Batman films, minus
the bat mobile. The
challenge for her was
to create a feeling
of grandeur and
exclusivity in a space
of a limited size, which
she achieved with dark
materials, reflective
accents, moody
lighting and plenty of
bespoke elements, like
the mesmerising table
integrated with a head
of a horse. Batman
himself would be proud!

A
drian Heng is a man with
an impressive creative
history.
As a boy, Adrian’s parents
enrolled him in art classes,
sparking a lifelong interest in
design whilst simultaneously
expanding the horizons of
his boundless imagination.
Art would remain a constant
companion throughout the
formative years of his childhood,
later imbuing his teenage years
with a zest for design. “As I
progressed through secondary
school, I enrolled in a technical
class focusing on wood-
working, with metal and plastic
workshops. We also had to do
simple technical drawings.”
Adrian recalls. “I guess those
classes became the foundation
for my design work.”
This foundation would
certainly come in handy through
Adrian’s journey in design. After
completing his O-Levels, he took
an aptitude test at the Nanyang
Academy of Fine Arts, and soon
found himself enrolled in an
Interior Design diploma course.
“Through the years, I’ve found
delivering timeless, beautiful,
and stylish homes to my clients
to be extremely rewarding.”

Adrian holds the memory with

reminisces. “One of my bosses
took credit for my design
works, which were published
in the media.” Despite lacking
seniority in the industry,
Adrian nonetheless mustered
the courage to stand up in the
face of an unfair situation,
soon after striking out on his
own. He jests, “At the time, I
had the mindset that I could
just go back to working for
another company if it didn’t
work out.”
As it turns out, Adrian’s
leap of faith was not in vain.

into a fusion of modern and
contemporary luxe. In my
opinion, that’s a more timeless
design style.”
His personal evolutions are
in line with his opinion: That
the world of interior design is
a constantly-evolving space.
“Now that I’ve been in the
industry for more than twenty
nine years, I’ve seen my fair
share of design trends come
and go,” He tells us. “Back in
the day, designs were more
embellished, and played on
colours and geometric shapes.
Today, however, interior
design focuses on blending
lifestyle into functionality.”
He chalks this up to the need
to streamline spaces for
comfortable living.
“We’re looking at
intensifying storage

spaces, creating continuous

pandemic, and so the work
took a lot longer than usual,”
He shares, reminiscing on
the experience. “It was tough
coordinating work during that
time, as many people were
paranoid about infection.”
The experience was made
all the more harrowing,
considering a non-negotiable
timeline in which Adrian’s
client needed to vacate his
current unit and move into his
new, completed home. “The
uncertainty of those times
sent me into a frenzy,” Adrian
chuckles, “I was elated that I
managed to hand over the home
within the stipulated time
frame!” The interior designer
also recalls another memorable
hand over.
“I once had an owner
who cried and hugged me,”
Adrian tells us. “They were
overwhelmed by the unveiling
of their new house. No one
really sees what goes on behind
all the renovation work, nor do
they see the staging at the end
of the project.”
And what a staging
process it is. The interior
designer personally sees to
the lighting, the accessories,
and even the fragrances that
pervade a cosy home.
“The amount of satisfaction
and happiness on the owners’
awed faces when I unveil each
room is priceless. It’s one of the
driving factors that make me
love my job even more,”

versatile material, celebrated
as “the material of a thousand
ŖʼnäʼnΌūĂäĢĆőūÁʼnƈŅʼnő
invented in the early 1900s,
associated with styles that
ūäŅäÚĂäÁł͡ƈěġʼnűĩŅùÁėäĆĢ
the 60s, and today, viewed as
a major pollutant and threat
to our environment. So Plast!c
harnesses the potential of
plastic waste to exist as
permanent pieces of design
art for homes and commercial
spaces instead of being
àĆʼnÚÁŅàäàĆĢőĩěÁĢàƈěěʼn͠
So Plast!c small tables are
made from recycled plastic
waste. Recyclable plastics from
ùĩĩàÁĢààŅĆĢėłÁÚėÁúĆĢúÁŅä
collected, sorted, cleaned, and
processed into useable raw
material for the production of
eco-polymer sheets that can be
ŖʼnäàőĩġÁėäĢäūłŅĩàŖÚőʼn͠
Each table is made from
ÁłłŅĩŰĆġÁőäěṳ̋ėúĩùūÁʼnőä͡
which is 2,000 bottle caps!
The small tables are
designed with circularity and
eco-consciousness in mind. The
beauty of plastic is that it can
be re-recycled as long as it has
not been polluted with other
materials, Each table has the
potential to be recycled again at
the end of its lifespan as a table.
Although I highly discourage
it – the process of recycling
consumes energy as well. These
tables are also designed with the
ÁÙĆěĆőűőĩÙäƉÁőͿłÁÚėäàʼnĩőĂäű
occupy minimum space during
transportation.
So Plast!c small tables pay
homage to neoplastic principles
of geometry, asymmetry, and
the use of positive and negative
elements. The compositions
feature horizontal and vertical
lines positioned in layers or
planes that do not intersect;
a characteristic typical to the
movement.
So Plast!c tables are made
using HDPE (high-density
polyethylene) from bottle caps
and PP (polypropylene) from
ùĩĩàÁĢààŅĆĢėłÁÚėÁúĆĢú͠
So Plast!c vessels are
hand-woven from used plastic
grocery bags. They are created
using a craft-driven approach.
Used plastic bags are collected,
cleaned, and converted into
balls of ‘plarn’, or plastic yarn,
which are then crocheted in
geometrical patterns to form
the vessels. The outcome is a
sheer, almost fragile frame that
is frozen in its state.
Each vessel is unique. They
ġĆúĂőÚÁŅŅűġÁŅėʼnĩùÚĩěĩŖŅ
from commercial branding
that was printed on them, and
are often composed from bags
from more than one store.
Raw, organic movements of
plarn contrasts against the
ŅäúŖěÁŅ͡úŅĆàͿěĆėäłÁőőäŅĢʼnĆĢÁ
tension between transience and
permanence.
According to journalist

about 12 minutes. Then that bag
essentially exists forever: it

interesting
