What is this project?
In collaboration with Sentosa, the main aim of this project is to create a sustainable sensory furniture that would be placed anywhere within Sentosa itself.

Organic, Hollow
Taking inspiration from Chinese traditional stools, it would give the overall design of the stool to be both rustic and modern, catering to parents as well as children.
