Sites made the way glass is — under real heat.

A studio of one in Singapore. I do the design and write the code myself, so nothing gets simplified on the way between the two.

The studio

A site is one material. It should be formed by one pair of hands, start to finish.

The plants do., beside a fine line drawing of a botanical form. 02KembangProduct brandThree.js · GSAP1280°C A craft soda in six botanicals, each the colour of the plant it was steeped from.
