Concept Shortlist

A number of ideas were presented, each unique with its use of material and form. With the objective of harmonizing art with design, some concepts needed us to collaborate with renowned artists across the world.

Hands-on testing

To test the size, form and proportions of the concepts, various Styrofoam and clay prototypes were built. A few were 3D printed to test the lighting and sensor responses. The prototypes helped enhance the design features further and make a better choice.

The basis of the selected concept was its uniqueness and an abstract nature, encapsulating the spirit of star and its depiction of creativity. Other major factors included collaborating with an artist who could deliver it in the short time frame we had.
