Beanlly
Wrist Rest by Jesvin Yeo
Making with the traditional method of dried bean sprout husks, the Bean Dolls feature four symbolic figures of Singapore old Chinatown: Towkay, Kopi uncle, Samsui woman and Majie. They helped built the old Singapore through creating jobs, providing cuppa comfort, building infrastructure and providing childcare, respectively. With the effort of the current Chinatown elderly, the bean dolls are designed as a wrist rest, a cuddly toy or a memento of the old trades. It aims to serve as a muse for local history discovery and encourage the younger generations to probe further into their culture.
