Budiman Ong established his studio, Ong Cen Kuang, some 18 years ago, coming to prominence with the Alur collection of lighting products. The bespoke lights are handmade from zippers and the range features pendants, standing and table lights. This year, Janur, an outdoor range, was launched at Jia CURATED and comprised two pendants and two standing lamps. In the exhibit, the materiality of the lights presented as an ethereal presence, placed atop long, curved stands alongside a small pathway. It was one of the most visited installations, becoming an Instagram favourite while also displaying Ong’s talent for innovative, handcrafted design.
