    Winner

    (Brand Identity)

    Nest Hotel

    Joshua Yeo

    Diploma in Design Communication, Class of 2018

    The visual identity reflects the architecture of Tiong Bahru – a quaint neighbourhood in Singapore marked by streamlined modernism and a touch of Chinese tradition. The brand colours are inspired by green jade and gold jewellery. The hotel’s logo displays the Chinese pictogram of the word “nest” in a dynamic manner, conveying a sense of tradition while, at the same time, promising modern comfort.

    Red Dot Design Award: Brand and Communication Design

    (Magazine)

    Brut Magazine

    Jessie Tan

    Diploma in Design Communication, Class of 2018

    The magazine BRUT is a B5-formatted publication which presents icons of brutalist architecture around the globe. It comes in a 4 cm thick cardboard slipcase embellished with a Japanese stab stitch seam. When leafing through it, a striking element is the multiple use of the colour pink, which, with its feminine, friendly appearance, provides a counterbalance to the main subject matter: concrete.

    Red Dot Design Award: Brand and Communication Design

    Winner

    (Magazine)

    MATERIAL Magazine

    Macarius Eng

    Diploma in Design Communication, Class of 2018

    This issue of the bi-annual magazine MATERIAL features brutalist architecture. The design is modelled on the characteristics of this architectural style, which is reflected in the imperfectly casted raw concrete case, the raw paper stock as well as in the multi-faceted typography.

    Red Dot Design Award: Brand and Communication Design

    Winner

    (Typographic Book)

    Small and Ordinary

    Advanced Typography Class, led by lecturer Nadine Ouellet

    Diploma in Design Communication, Class of 2018

    This work deals with the short essay “Approaches to What?” by George Perec. In his essay, the French author questions the importance human beings place on the spectacular and encourages the readers to observe the mundane, the unnoticed, their daily gestures and habits instead. Through graphic implementation, each double page of the typographic book brings a different part of the essay to life. Writing and imagery merge into vivid entities, matching the experimental character of the literary source.

    Mirai Rice Cooker

    Ronald Tan

    BA(Hons) Product Design, Class of 2017

    Rice is a staple food source in Asia, and yet also one of the largest contributors to the food waste epidemic. Mirai presents an innovative solution to this issue. This rice cooker features a unique cooking pot with a moulded bottom that is specially designed to re-cook leftover rice into crispy toasted rice cakes, which is a delicacy in many Asian cultures.

    Red Dot Design Award

    Winner
    (Interior Elements)

    Waist Bowl

    Jonathan Saphiro Salim

    BA(Hons) Product Design, Class of 2017

    Many run the risk of spilling a bowl's contents when they try to manoeuvre their fingers out from between the bowl's foot ring and the table surface. Waist Bowl addresses this problem with an elevated foot ring that is moulded for ideal grip from one's finger pads.

    Red Dot Design Award

    Winner
    (Interior Elements)

    OCD Switch

    Pakaporn Teadtulkitikul

    BA(Hons) Product Design, Class of 2017

    Observations about human behaviour and the subconscious tells us that humans are naturally attracted to order, pattern and symmetry. OCD Switch takes advantage of such a predisposition, and employs an interruption of a geometric pattern on the switch to remind users of a light's turn-on mode, thereby encouraging them to turn-off the switch after use and to decrease electricity consumption.

    2016

    Red Dot Design Award

    Winner

    (Domestic Aid)

    Swash

    Ronald Tan

    BA(Hons) Product Design, Class of 2017

    Swash is a mini clothes washer for individuals who have no need for space for a full-sized washing machine. It replaces the strenuous act of hand washing clothes by incorporating the washing process of a washing machine, delivering a similar result within a unit that is compact and portable.

    Red Dot Design Award

    Honourable Mention

    (Domestic Aid)

    PIPÉRINE and CRYSTALLINE

    Jonathan Saphiro Salim

    BA(Hons) Product Design, Class of 2017

    PIPÉRINE and CRYSTALLINE is a set of salt and pepper grinders that uses the principle of gravity and centripetal force as its main mechanism. Equipped with a cylindrical weight at the end of their spinning shaft, this innovation allows the user to perform the grinding process single-handedly and with less effort.
