Singaporean designer Clara Yee and Da a celebrate the humble Wi–Fi router for their Wallpaper* Handmade X project, Console, elevating the often hidden device to artful new heights.
Exhibiting alongside 7 Singapore-based designers and design studios commissioned by Wallpaper* under the theme of love; Clara Yee designed a luxurious stand for a WiFi router that showed at the prestigious Singapore Design Week from 4 to 17 March and the 58th edition of the Salone del Mobile in Milan from 9 to 14 April 2019.
Temple-like stand for a WiFi router, the design takes after the shape of an abstract satellite dish.
A collaboration with Italian brand Da a, the stand showcases the company’s unconventional treatment of metal – its iron surface processed by hand using natural extracts from plants and minerals. The resulting texture reflects and is reminiscent of otherworldly cosmic explosions.
