Designer Gabriel Tan on Reviving Handmade Crafts Share
Singapore and Portugal-based designer Gabriel Tan sits down with us to talk about the handmade revival, craft and clarity, and how cultural exchange sparks inspiration.
Beautiful interior objects have become more vital pleasures this past year. As we’re at home more often, we want our environments to inspire, soothe and delight. A recent trend towards the handmade is one part design humanism and one part high-tech fatigue. And during a pandemic, it’s all part of the slow-living zeitgeist gaining traction even in the world’s fastest cities.
Currently doing the job are the hand-polished quarry bowls made from three segments of Portuguese marble, textured salt vases in colbalt blue or earthy orange, tall conical jugs or the wonderfully shaped charred clay vases – all items from Origin, a brand of handcrafted, collectable objects by Portuguese artisans and international designers.

The Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) hosted the first webinar in its “Close That Loop!” series. This event focused on “Circular Business Models” and explored the role of design teams in building a circular economy as well as the related business challenges and opportunities. The panelists were Bridget Croke, Managing Director of Closed Loop Partners, and Anna Queralt Fuentes, Engagement Manager of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, in conversation with Philip White, Professor at Arizona State University.
Fuentes began the discussion by elaborating on three principles of the circular economy: eliminating waste and pollution; keeping products and materials in use; and regenerating natural systems. She emphasized that design plays an important role and that important decisions made during the design phase are sometimes “hard to reverse,” with far-reaching and sometimes unintended impacts.
