Maybe everything was just like a dream.Jimmy Tay

A piece of public installation furniture which i did a few years ago. This installation piece indeed took me quite a while to conceptualize it and realise it to become a prototype. Some believe in this furniture. Some don't. It was really a risk for me at that time and i was told by my friends that if this piece of installation furniture is gonna be produce, it is definitely gonna create lots of commotion. Just a simple piece of flat sheet of design and ur gonna pass it out like this? THEY SAID. i just have to believe myself at that time.Mind me,this is not an excuse to avoid works and hassle to continue through the design process but it is all about believing myself and my own instinct to create my very own installation piece. This concept was actually derived from our normal daily public furniture that we see in our daily life.Many times, we would stroll in the public street or park ,being tired, and able to find a public seating and rest before we moves on.During that time,i start to question myself whether is it gonna mark the end for public furniture which is so static and lifeless or how would or how can i be able to create a kind of memorable memories to the public seaters when they sit .A kind of human interaction between one another, a kind of unique experience when they are enjoying their rest on public seatings.The backrest of this art piece design was created and intended to be a paper-like kind of design. Before you approach the seating .It happen to be just one flat piece of art work and with each seat on the oppsite side. However when you began to sit down and lean back,the back rest began to tear open , bringing about a potray language of a piece of paper that is tearing off and breaking away human boundary and bringing about human interaction together.Whether to deny it or not,they had actually or unknowingly saw each other from the oppsite side which it had already creates a form of surprise element to the seaters.Who knows the one sitting oppsite to you might happen to be your prince charming or your long awaited princess or maybe.... everything was just like a dream.Jimmy Tay
