NDP 08 Funpack – Celebrating The Singapore Spirit

The Funpack for NDP 08, Perspectives, is based on three main themes: Creativity, Inclusiveness and “Green”.

Funpack Items

Under the DesignSingapore-NDP 08 Studio, a design competition was opened to awards-wining young designers to come up with a design that is innovative and novel, yet useful. The selected design uses a recyclable material from Tetra Pak, a world’s leading food processing and packaging solutions company and vibrant artworks depicting the Singapore Spirit created by 11 students from the Very Special Arts (VSA) and the School of the Arts (SOTA) based on their personal experience and impressions under the guidance of 2005 Medallion winner Ms Chng Seok Tin and digital artist Mr. Tan Haur. The design for Perspectives was conceptualized by Terence Woon, 26, an industrial Designer with the Product Innovation & Development Programme at A*STAR SIMTech.

Ten Unique Funpack Designs


AIR Glove Design Team

The process has generated 10 unique Funpack designs and each pack contains 22 items. The AIR Glove is one of the interactive items found in this year’s Funpack. . It is a light-emitting noisemaker in the shape of a hand. It bears a natural affinity to how people would naturally clap their hands and cheers with enthusiasm when celebrating. The AIR Glove is designed by 5 students from Temasek Polytechnic, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Nanyang Polytechnic and National University of Singapore mentored by Philips Design to evoke the spontaneous, playful side of the audience during the parade.
