Curated by Yoichi Nakamuta (Clear Gallery Tokyo) and P.C. Ee (Industry+).

The works I draw are neither male nor female.
It is a mixture of femininity and masculinity within me.

They were born with an awareness of the destruction of stereotypes.
Knowledge that comes from some assumptions and people’s experiences.
Freedom of ideas and freedom from restrictions.

No one can predict the future.
In such a place, they feel the strong life force and the mystique of life that lives today and tomorrow.

I want to fight against my self-confidence in this world where the times are changing so fast.
A punk spirit that defies the trends of the world.
A feeling that can only come from within me, a feeling that I do not draw with my head but with my whole body.

Cute and destructive – and the healing of the heart that lies beyond that.
The senses become irresistible and destroy the brain with cuteness.
And I want to heal people all over the world, transcending language barriers.

— SIMON

IndustryPlus opens its new showroom with a presentation of a new chapter in the oeuvre of designer and artist KSY(Nathan Yong). In Farewell To Reason, a designer’s reason is challenged, cold hard stone is being bent, and furniture is viewed beyond our physical realm.

Viewport Studio set out to dramatically reduce the energy and resources required for producing furniture, while still creating enduring pieces that will be loved and used in everyday life. The result is Essential, a furniture range that has been sourced, developed, and manufactured from discarded timber within a 10 mile radius of its production location.

This collection questions the existing production cycle of commercial furniture and redefines what is essential to design, produce, consume and use at home. Essential merges responsible material sourcing, critical design thinking and key manufacturing, to create beautiful furniture for daily use.

StayHome is a time for introspection and reorganisation. As we slow down to focus on self-care and appreciation, we remember that there are communities that could use a little help getting through these difficult times.

From now until 15 May, IndustryPlus will be donating 10% of proceeds Shallows vases to Sayang Sayang Fund that supports vulnerable communities in Singapore especially impacted by COVID-19’s precautionary measures. To minimise contact, we will be extending free delivery within Singapore for all purchases of Shallows.
