A project I worked on during my time as an Industrial Design student at the National University of Singapore, together with Stacey Yip & Donn Koh (Professor).
What does a book have to do with a picnic?
A book opens up to a new world, with each page creating a sense of anticipation of what’s to come. A picnic has that same sliver in our lives. It is an adventurous endeavour full of making memories with loved ones. How can we draw upon the narrative nuance of a book to re-invent the picnic experience?
The Breakthrough
The Biggest breakthrough came when we finally found a way to celebrate the unfolding process while allowing the mat to fold neatly into a book. After all, a picnic is a convivial gathering.
Drawing upon the sense of familial warmth, we saw opportunities where interactions can be celebrated. The unfolding is gradual as the group reveals each layer, tapping upon the group’s spirit.
