We are a research outfit located in the Division of Industrial Design at the National University of Singapore. We conduct design research that investigates how materials and making mediate the interactions between people and systems.

Our practice is characterized by designerly exploration, technical experiments, and rigorous making. We are interested in uncovering new ways of blending physical media with tangible computing, along with probing the interactive materiality that such systems facilitate.
