    About Design Competition

    In line with Lendlease’s commitment to promote sustainable practices in real estate and design, Lendlease malls collaborate with Temasek Polytechnic (TP) to challenge young, visionary designers to turn waste into wonder. 

    This design competition invites participants to transform discarded materials into functional, engaging and commercially viable products that promote eco-consciousness. 10 shortlisted finalists will be given the opportunity to develop their concepts into actual products, which will be showcased in a roving exhibition across four Lendlease malls – 313@somerset, Jem, Parkway Parade and Paya Lebar Quarter, between 24 August - 29 September 2026.

    The competition also fosters deeper industry collaboration by bringing participating retailers from Lendlease malls into the design process and connecting them with the students. Participating retailers including 2nd STREET, Clarks, fieldnotes, G2000 and K.STAR Karaoke contributed archived materials and end-of-life products as creative resources, while sharing insights on material durability and consumer trends to help students refine their prototypes into market-ready products.

     

    About the 10 Finalists
    BENEATH THE BLOOM – APPAREL Image

    BENEATH THE BLOOM – APPAREL

    Jovia Low, Loo Yan Ni, Nuryn Amirah

    Inspired by the symbolism of a vase and the alluring beauty of flowers, the garment explores deceptive beauty and hidden realities. 

    The garment is constructed using upcycled materials such as textile scraps, plastic packaging, paper waste, and other discarded items collected from everyday consumption. These materials are transformed through draping, layering and handcrafted techniques to create floral textures, and organic forms. 

    By transforming overlooked waste into something visually desirable, the design challenges perceptions of beauty and value, encouraging viewers to reconsider what is considered beautiful, valuable or disposable.

    BLOOMING CONNECTION – APPAREL Image

    BLOOMING CONNECTION – APPAREL

    Nur Natasha, Clovis Lim, Yah Wan Teng, Annalyn Lee

    The garment’s unique selling point is its combination of upcycling and modular customisation to create a relaxed utility-style jacket. Made from reclaimed textiles and recycled materials such as fabric scraps, newspapers, plastic waste, buttons and zippers, it transforms discarded resources into a wearable fashion piece inspired by nature. 

    Unique processes include combining mixed-fabric patchwork panels with visible mending techniques to celebrate repair and reuse, as well as applying metallic foiling to selected areas for added texture and visual interest. Handcrafted floral embellishments made from newspaper, plastic waste, fabric scraps, buttons, and wire will be attached through snap-on fastenings.

    Its modular design allows consumers to create multiple looks from one garment through shoulder pieces, removable pocket charms, and interchangeable patch panels, reducing the need for additional purchases. 

     

     

    STRAVIK – BAG Image

    STRAVIK – BAG

    Gwyen Ng, Lim Xiao Xuan, Noelle Yapp, Daryl Han

    This product challenges the conventional outdoor gear model through a multifunctional bag made from upcycled and recycled materials. The outer chassis is upcycled from rugged, weather-resistant PVC banners, structural tension is provided by repurposed dynamic climbing ropes, and interior pockets utilize industrial scrap fabrics. 

    Built for ultimate co-creation and versatility, this durable bag features heavy-duty buckles, secure clips, and expandable pockets that interface with a modular attachment system. Hikers can easily swap out specialized outdoor attachments, external pouches, and technical gear loops to match their exact trip duration and terrain conditions. 

    By combining multiple outdoor essentials into one adaptable product, the design promotes resource efficiency, waste reduction, and more sustainable outdoor exploration. 

    LAUT. CO – ACCESSORY Image

    LAUT. CO – ACCESSORY

    Low Lee Ann, Yukie Tan, River Yap, Oliver Khoo

    Inspired by bone-based jewellery sold on artisan platforms, this design transforms food waste into wearable accessory. 

    Using food waste bones collected from food establishments, the bones are thoroughly sorted and cleaned before it goes through pulverisation. Dried bones are mechanically crushed into smaller fragments and grounded into a fine powder. The grounded powder will be further sifted to achieve a smooth and uniform texture suitable for sculpting and material development.

    The refined bone powder is then mixed with biodegradable binders to create a mouldable clay. This bio-clay can then be carved into jewellery components. Surfaces are then sanded and refined to improve comfort and appearance. In the final step, a natural protective coating is applied before the pieces are assembled into finished jewellery.

    LIQUID BLOOM – BAG Image

    LIQUID BLOOM – BAG

    Clarabel Lai, Qti Tan

    LIQUID BLOOM is a contemporary handbag created from discarded plastic waste and reclaimed mesh packaging materials. 

    The bag features an outer shell constructed from repurposed mesh packaging such as garlic, onion and fruit nets. This lightweight mesh acts as the structural framework, creating a soft cage-like form around the bag. Suspended within the mesh are heat-shaped recycled plastic panels made from discarded packaging and plastic waste. 

    A unique feature of LIQUID BLOOM is its modularity that balances sustainability with commercial appeal. Plastic inserts can be rearranged, removed or replaced by users, allowing them to create different silhouettes and personalise their bag over time.  

    MUNDANE – APPAREL Image

    MUNDANE – APPAREL

    Carrie Tan, Natasha Goh, Gwyneth Cheng

    This design transforms mundane waste such as bread tags, plastic straws, candy wrappers and potato chip packaging into a wearable statement piece. By using techniques like patchwork, weaving, layering and other fabric manipulations, discarded materials can be transformed into a fashionable bomber jacket.

    The jacket’s silhouette represents everyday life and modern routines. Oversized, rounded sleeves symbolize the invisible accumulation of waste created through our daily habits, while the fitted waist reflects how waste is closely shaped by individual lifestyles and consumption habits. The high neckline extending towards the mouth represents the act of consumption, where products are enjoyed before being discarded. 

    RESCULP – CONSUMER LIFESTYLE & HOME PRODUCT Image

    RESCULP – CONSUMER LIFESTYLE & HOME PRODUCT

    Ng Xi Rou

    ReSculp is a multi-tier desktop organiser designed to neatly store everyday essentials such as spectacles, keys, wallets, and other personal belongings. 

    ReSculp transforms discarded PVC vinyl banners, commonly used for temporary advertising, into a functional household object. Inspired by the silhouette of a sailboat, the design symbolises a clean, wind-powered journey towards a more sustainable and net-zero future. 

    With upcycled PVC vinyl banners used as the primary material, the structure is reinforced by a central stainless-steel rod and an internal galvanised wire frame for added stability. To support a circular lifecycle, the production process avoids the use of chemical adhesives. Instead, ReSculp is designed for disassembly through sewn construction, mechanical fasteners, a replaceable central rod, and interchangeable hooks.

    THAT’S CAP! – CONSUMER LIFESTYLE & HOME PRODUCT Image

    THAT’S CAP! – CONSUMER LIFESTYLE & HOME PRODUCT

    Emil Azkiputrasha, Lee Chang Jer, Mohamed Ishaq, Zelphie Tan

    That’s Cap! is a compact, modular furniture solution designed for young children (ages 2 – 6) living in small urban homes. 

    This product stands out with its unique dual-functionality: it serves as a dining table and fort, maximizing space in small homes. A flipping mechanism expands the tabletop for larger meals or activities, while the modular, interlocking chairs can be rearranged for different configurations, allowing both parents and kids to have fun with the product however they intend to use it.

    Made primarily from recycled plastic bottles and upcycled cardboard, the set prioritizes sustainability without compromising durability. The interlocking cardboard design inspired by space-saving HDB solutions requires no glue or screws, reducing waste and simplifying assembly.

    TRASH CAN! – ECO COLLECTIBLES Image

    TRASH CAN! – ECO COLLECTIBLES

    Isaac Chua, Andri Bin Mohammad Azrein, Jarren Choy

    Inspired by blind boxes, Trash Can! are eco-collectibles made from upcycled materials such as retail signage, packaging waste, and discarded plastics.

    Each trash character comes with a slip of paper with info of where the waste materials came from, its environmental impact and recycling facts. If the consumer unbox a duplicate, there is the flexibility to return the duplicated character for further recycling. 

    With Trash Can!, consumers can satisfy their curiosity while gaining knowledge about waste management, recycling, and environmental responsibility in a fun and engaging way.

    MODU/A – APPAREL/BAG Image

    MODU/A – APPAREL/BAG

    Heng Zeng Ru, Chan Zi Yern, Selvapandi Kavinayaa, Chee Siew Yin

    This multi-functional product is a convertible bag that transforms into a skirt and can also be folded to become compact. Primary materials used are polyester, lycra and polyurethane. These materials are selected for their durability, flexibility, and lightweight properties, ensuring comfort in wear and practicality in use. 

    Its unique selling point lies in convertibility, combining fashion and function within a single adaptable product. The minimalist design ensures it remains timeless, while its interactive nature encourages personal styling and promotes awareness of sustainable fashion practices.
