Adapt by Sharina Bi, a designer of the Creativeans collective in Singapore, is a range of desk accessories inspired by old Singaporean traditions now becoming extinct. The mainly Indian flower-sellers at the local market hang their flowers from ceiling to floor and inspired a magazine rack. The table lamp stems from watching blacksmiths making keys (for which they need direct overhead light); the fortune-teller and the tailor are behind the blackboard-desk tidy and the pen holder-ruler, respectively.

Laser cut and then folded, the coloured-steel accessories slot easily into the thickness of the table.

Creativeans is a collective based in Milan and Singapore that works on furnishings, products and spatial design. Its members are Kimming Yap, Khairul Hussin, Sharina Bi and Yulia Saksen. ES
