Mix It UpAs the co-founder of local design brand Industry+, PC Ee has a knack for spotting talent. Here, he picks out the objects that he’s most intrigued by right now

MATTIAZZI CUGINO STOOL by Konstantin Grcic, from mattiazzi.euEe admires this versatile piece—which functions as a stool and a table—that also taps into Mattiazzi’s woodworking expertise. “Cugino is a well-made wooden object whose function as a stool or a low table is open to interpretation.”

ARTEK ROPE CHAIR by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, from VitraThis seat pairs the solidity of its steel frame with the pliability of the flax rope used on its back and armrests. Explains Ee: “It’s a clever play of tension between flexible rope and stiff steel tubes.” INDUSTRY+

SARONG PARTY VASE by Hans Tan, from industryplus.com.sgNamed after the sarong kebayas worn by Singapore Airlines flight attendants, part of the original glaze of this vessel is stripped away, then a resist-blast layer is added; the latter features motifs inspired by batik textiles.

INDUSTRY+ SOFT CHAIRby Nathan Yong, from industryplus.com.sgClad in a super-slim layer of marble and fabricated by MM Galleri, this chair is one of the visual highlights of the Eclecticism collection that Industry+ plans to present later this year. “Soft defies our expectations of marble furniture with its fluid yet strong curves,” says Ee.

GEOLOGY MIRROR by CCKW, from thefutureperfect.comThis piece features various stones UV-bonded to a piece of glass. Silver-nitrate solution and a layer of black paint are applied to enhance reflectivity. “CCKW captures the poetic motion of silver-on-glass in this beautiful object,” says Ee.
