| Summary: | ‘Makan’ is a colloquial term used in Singapore to express an invitation to a meal. In its native Malay
language, it translates to ‘the act of eating’. The Makan People presents a contemporary visual and tactile
interpretation of Singapore’s culinary practices and dining habits through the years. In this series of crockery
pieces, three families of legged crockery items were derived from the observation and exploration of various
local culinary practices translated into elements hinted in the design of the seemingly familiar objects. The
Makan People was designed to trigger nostalgia and create significant memories in the use of the crockery
pieces. It is a series that entails the relationships people share with Singapore’s unique culinary culture rich
in both tradition and fusion. The Makan People seems almost alive. |
