From photography to design production, curating galleries to setting up modern creative communes – the people here are all carving out names and niches in the art and design industries (or in some cases, both). Keng yang shuen tells you why they’re the ones to watch.

Before Wonder Facility, Lee had already worked with an impressive roster of clients such as Samsung, Aquascutum and LVMH, with her other personal projects often blurring the boundaries of art and design. Take The Marvellous Marble Factory, commissioned for Singaplural 2015, which saw her fashion real-looking “confections” out of inorganic substances such as granite and marble. Her aim? To subvert the function of marble (as a material) and provoke people to rethink the role of “authenticity” in consuming (figuratively speaking) a product. Lee’s experimental streak continues with her participation in Milan Design Week 2017 – the design world’s equivalent of Fashion Week.
