Interior Design: Field Trip @ Wei-Ling Art Gallery

Interior Design students had a splendid afternoon at Wei-Ling Art Gallery located in Brickfields. Wei-Ling Gallery encompasses the development of Malaysia’s contemporary art for over a decade now. With the opening of the gallery’s second space in Kuala Lumpur, Wei-Ling Contemporary, in 2011 and its third space in Penang in 2013, the gallery has further strengthened itself as the largest commercial gallery in Malaysia.

It was an idle pick for the tour, due to their expertise in converting and transforming a traditional space to an Art Gallery. The tour to this gallery started off by observing the difference areas of the gallery, as this is to make our young undergraduates appreciate the importance of Malaysian historical buildings. Wei-Ling Art Gallery is a perfect example of a renovation project for ID students and this experience could ignite some creative ideas in their future projects.

Miss Shaza, the curator of the art gallery was very helpful in assisting the students. Some of the briefing that she provided to students was on how to reconvert and old traditional house in a Contemporary Art Gallery, the history of the building and how the Art gallery space used to be. Furthermore, Raffles students also had a full tour and a briefing about the current exhibition Words Become Art by the local artist Sun Kang Jye.

Overall this was a fruitful and rewarding trip. It would not have been successful without the assistance of Miss Shaza and the opportunity provided by Wei Ling Art gallery.

Interior Design: Field Trip @ Kian Furniture

Interior Design students had an amazing field trip at Kian Furniture. It is a Malaysian based contract furniture factory that manufactures furniture for restaurants, hotel and cafes. Mr Jacky and Mr Ken made the students able to comprehend the complexity of furniture design process, the importance to conceptualize design ideas onto real and functional furniture pieces.

The visit at Kian Furniture allowed Raffles students to understand the specific properties of the materials used in a furniture factory, and their ways of being manufactured.

The objective behind this field trip is also to enable them to design and apply details onto their Furniture Final Project. Moreover through the tour in the Kian Furniture showroom Raffles students understood that by listening to the client's needs they must be able to design and produce pieces of highest quality with minimum costs. The friendly atmosphere during the visit made this field trip an unforgettable experience for our young undergraduates.

Interior Design: Field Trip @ Bristol Technologies

Interior Design students had a great time at Bristol Technologies, Malaysia based design and manufacturer of high quality furniture for offices and homes.

Our greatest gratitude and appreciation to Mister Jesse Gan and Miss Min Law for their time and kindness towards our short trip to Bristol Factory and Showroom. They have helped the students to get better exposure and understanding to the process of producing furniture, from the first draft to the final product.
