Campus Development Office formed a collaboration with School of Design final year students to give new life to the aged Lounge at Block Z to enhance the Lounge’s ambiance and flexibility, creating a multi-functional environment where networking, socialising and solitary working can coexist harmoniously. Sustainable design principle of upcycling the existing furniture is to be adopted to minimize waste.
In response to the brief, “Double-Deng” is a flexible furniture set that combines style, comfort and functionality. Elevating the open space experience with the different seating solutions it offers. Whether users prefer personal solitude or a gathering area.
Double-Deng consists of NOD-DY and STACK-KY.
NOD-DY is a chair leg and seat adapter system that ingeniously upcycles existing chair shells and frames in the Lounge.
STACK-KY is a modular mini series of 3 stacking stools that can be configured into different heights. Together, their versatile design enables an array of seating heights and usage options. With this range of seating height options, they can be used easily with other furniture groups, also complementing other furniture in the same space.
