LASALLE College of the Arts’ School of Spatial & Product Design, in partnership with Marina Central district, presents Sociable Scape – A Student Placemaking Exhibition that brings innovative public seating, inspired by the places, histories and cultures, to the bayfront destination.
From 16 May to 30 June 2024, visitors to Marina Square, Millenia Walk, South Beach, Suntec City, and Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, will encounter eight delightful pieces of public furniture.
These aren’t mere benches; they are invitations to linger, to breathe, and to savour moments of respite amidst the rhythm of urban life. Here’s what you can expect from South Beach:
Logged by Koh Shu Peng
South Beach Avenue, Level B1
Teak & Stainless Steel
Logged reimagines public seating to honour South Beach’s heritage as a British military camp. The sinuous forms pay homage to Jacob’s Ladder, a stair climber often seen at military obstacle courses. This design also symbolises the obstacles we may experience in our modern busy lives. However, as you encounter Logged at the Basement Plaza of South Beach, you will find a spot to take a seat and pause to appreciate the layers of history and culture that shape our city.
DIVE by Jasmine Koh Xiu Zhen
South Beach Avenue, Level B1
Teak & Stainless Steel
Designed specially to be placed by the water features at South Beach, DIVE is a series of high stools that offer a witty response to urban spaces. Inspired by the leisurely steps of a swimming pool, DIVE invites urbanites to take a momentary plunge into relaxation. It is not simply a stool. It is about pausing, reflecting, and dipping one’s toes into the fountain of life’s simple joys.
