&Larry

Sign Of Our Times, 2014

“Sign Of Our Times” was inspired by the ubiquitous “Danger-Keep Out!” sign, which is commonplace in Singapore. This unique sign – most often displayed on the exterior of construction sites and relayed in the country’s four official languages – warns of the danger ahead and prevents mishaps as a result of entering dangerous turf. Designed in black and constructed primarily with leather, “Sign Of Our Times” is based on objects that contain or hold important belongings – wallets, document holders and the pockets of garments. The intentional subversion of the traditional signboard was a core component of the conceptual process, deliberately avoiding visual resemblance to typical tourist souvenirs. What was traditionally loud, crass and intended for the public is now made private. The ‘warning’, featured subtly as a blind debossed typographic design, is a personal reminder to keep one’s belongings safe. The collection consists of the &Larry Wallet, &Larry A4 Folder, &Larry A3 Portfolio, and &Larry T-shirt.
