Lamp by Desinere
Melvin Ong studied furniture design at Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts and product design at Central Saint Martins in London, before founding his design studio Desinere in 2012. The name of the studio comes from the Latin word desinere, meaning “stop”, which is also the root of the English word silence. For Melvin, stopping at the roots of silence is what enables an individual to take the sensory measure of the world. Ironically, in the state of being detached from our surroundings we become more attuned and sensitive to them, and through this momentary solace we begin to make subtle discoveries. In this way Desinere approaches design through a quiet reflection of relationships between items, people and experiences, creating authentic objects that are refreshingly unexpected. The studio believes that design is a holistic entity which encompasses different disciplines, as well as a continuing journey of experimentation and discovery that is not simply limited by labels.
