Angus is an enthusiastic designer who has dedicated years to studying and practicing interior design abroad.After obtaining a degree in Interior Design, Angus dedicated several years to working as an Interior Decorator/FF&E Specialist, with a particular emphasis on high-end European designs encompassing furniture, lighting, kitchens, media units, and closet systems.

Seeking to further develop his personal skills and broaden his design knowledge and perspectives, Angus is currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Interior Design at the esteemed Royal College of Art. This educational endeavor enables him to amalgamate his previous industry experience with a profound comprehension of effectively communicating designs.

Instead of aiming for extravagance or out-of-this-world designs, he prefers to focus on the intricate details and develops his design language through exploration and numerous testing processes.With years of experience in the design industry, Angus possesses a solid understanding of the workings involved in the design process. He has successfully handled multiple client interactions and collaborated directly with fellow designers. Through these experiences, Angus has come to realize that being a designer entails more than just creating visually appealing designs. It is equally important to effectively convey and communicate ideas in a manner that anyone, even a four-year-old child, can comprehend and appreciate the purpose behind the work.

Amend: The Broken Table Lamp – The image above shows the original lamp, which is missing the glass lampshade as it was shat- tered. What remains are the cracked diffuser, light bulb, and wired cord. The twisted and tangled wires of the original lamp have inspired me to taken its element into the design of the new lampshade. I have taken inspiration from the multiple layers of metal rings in the lamp’s base, the intricate weaving on the wire cord, and the cylindrical shape of the diffuser.

Amend: The Broken Table Lamp – All of these elements have served as a source of inspiration for the repair project. By incorporating these details into the new lampshade, I hope to create a visually striking and unique piece that transforms the entire lamp: a fire- torch which could trace back to hundred of years ago where our ancestors could only use fire to light up their surroundings at night.

Amend: The Broken Table Lamp – A broken lamp that transform into another lamp? or a sculpture? By using the same parts and element from the original lamp, the final outcome could look quite different from its original look.

Model Making and Burning. – Since the project started, I have been interested in finding traces and evidence of the “fire” that destroyed the site in 1937. I decided to begin my design approach by replicating and reconstructing the site through model making.

Burning and Its Result – Once the fire has been put off, I have taken some photographs to document the aftermath of the fire, which is stunningly matching with the scene observed on site.
