What defines a lighting object? Would an architect view a lighting object differently from a fashion designer, or a product designer? These are an open ended questions which all 25 invited designers would need to probe and answer for the event. Whenlightswork collective hopes that by organizing a design cum charity sale event, this would help spread a little cheer amongst the community and let the designers contribute our creative works towards helping others in need. The Straits Times Pocket Money Fund had been named as the Charity Recipient for the event’s proceeds.

For the inaugural Unidentified Lighting Object (U.L.O) 2009, which is organized by whenlightswork collective and kindly sponsored by IKEA Singapore, we would be seeing a total of 25 invited designers, from celebrated creatives to emerging designers, all across different design disciplines, work their magic on a conventional IKEA item they would each choose. As part of the runway challenge (pardon the pun), the theme, “Masak Masak”, had been proposed. All designers are invited to translate an intimate part of their childhood memories into a tangible story through their designs.

With the interesting mix of emerging and renowned designers, coupled with the support from IKEA Singapore, one would certainly be anticipating a lot of “Unidentified Lighting Object”s from this experiment. 

An exhibition cum sale of all the designs would be held at the Tampines IKEA store, from 24th of October to 31st October. Admission is free.
All sale proceeds would be donated to charity.
