Play is useless. Play is good. Everybody plays. Not all the time. So what is play? How does it work? Why is it good? How do we design for play? So many questions – is there enough time? Enter the rabbit hole: toying with the concept of play as a positive agent in people’s lives, the PLAY LIVES exhibition takes visitors through design for play’s wonderland.
Play Lives is an exhibition curated by Rémi Leclerc and Chi-wing Lee for Design Spectrum.
Julie & Jesse will be showing Pocket Garden made for Design Trust: Critically Homemade and Kapok.

“DESIGN TRUST: Critically Homemade” has been a micro-initiative rooted in the idea of community, recognizing its essential role in paving a positive and productive road forward. This micro-initiative conceptualised by Marisa Yiu (Co-Founder / Executive Director of Design Trust) expresses innovation, reflection, lightness and hope, where small acts of making, and gestures of generosity expand to more support within and around communities.
