The Housing Development Board (HDB) flats are aptly chosen by Singaporean designer, Chang Shian Wei as a Singapore Icon. The motifs depict the different exterior views of a typical HDB flat; the common corridors, a facade of kitchen windows and a close-up of a room. With more than 80% of the Singapore population staying in HDB flats, it is indeed one of the most recognised icons in the city. This design is part of the inaugural collection of Singapore Icons by Supermama to be accorded the President's Design Award, Singapore.
Porcelain is a medium where colour variation is a natural occurring feature of reactive, speckled, matte and cobalt-blue glazed finishing. Irregularities in glaze and texture should be celebrated as a mark of the artist's hand. Therefore, each piece is unique and has a handcrafted element to it.
