Idea of a Clock and Fruitbowl Lah are represented by M.U.H at the LINEART Art Fair as part of a special section "Focus on Singapore".

"Design/art, cross/disciplinary & cross/cultural work from Singapore. M.U.H. aims to function as a brand image of the city of Singapore through the representation of a certain identity of the city. The global city of Singapore as a vibrant multicultural haven and a place where different worlds collide acts as the backdrop for works of a hybrid nature. The selected works cut across disciplines and cultures, while blurring the distinction between art and design." Exhibiting artist/designers: Michael Lee, Justin Lee, Jason Lim, Hans Tan, Shih Yun, Andree Weschler, Little-Red-Dots, Anita Nevens, Tanny Wong, Jane Cowie, Noriko Suzuki-Bosco.

“V for Vase” presents the results of a workshop collaboration between Hans Tan Studio and the National University of Singapore Industrial Design Programme. The “imaginative thinking” workshop directed by Hans Tan consisted of a series of progressive exercises aimed at unraveling one’s imaginal thoughts and developing lateral thinking. “Vase” was chosen as the subject to be reconceptualized by each of the final year industrial design students who attended.

The exhibition reveals 23 conceptual vases and documents more than a hundred unique vase definitions developed during the workshop, all of which prove to be more telling than its original meaning as found in the dictionary – “An open container, usually used for holding flowers or for ornamentation.”

Triggered by a lack of meaningful and representative local souvenirs, Singapore Souvenirs is a project to explore, design and produce objects that fill this gap. A Singapore souvenir serves as a meaningful memento for visitors, but could also act as a reflective medium for Singaporeans as we embrace our identity. Hence, this project raises design awareness through the local context, featuring souvenirs (some for sale, some for free) conceptualised by 8 local designers: Winston Chai, Lee Tze Ming, Yap Hock Heng, Hans Tan, Tan Chia Wee, Edwin Low, John Chan,Yong Jieyu.
