In a tribute to his vision, IMAJIN presents an interactive, multi-media installation that captures the iconic quality of his work.

Kokuyo x M Moser
The future is in global sustainability, according to Kokuyo and M Moser. As generations grow and a new equilibriums in nature emerges, the need to reassess the impact and connectivity of human activity to the environment is imperative. Expressing this is an interactive installation designed to change progressively over the course of the day. Sculptures of wire and mesh take the human form on Kokuyo’s new INSPINE chair, while visitors are also encouraged to create and add their own wire mesh sculptures to symbolise the impact that humans have on our immediate environment.

JUNG x GAD
A vision of high-tech connectivity anchors The Project by JUNG and GAD. The Project collaboration between the German switches and systems manufacturer and the Singapore architecture firm expresses the beauty and mystery of wiring and connectivity. The installation showcases JUNG’s product advancements in technology and aesthetics, while illustrating the “circuit board” of wires that run behind-the-scenes. From basic functions like fan and lighting control to more advanced functions like monitoring carbon dioxide content in the air, this layered collage of controls is a clear indication of the future of home automation.
