INVENTING a stool that symbolises the unity of the people in Malaysia, Tan Kian Peng won first prize in the Malaysia Furniture Export Exhibition 2003 (Mafex 2003) competition (student category).
Named “Modular”, the stool is made of rubber wood and is modularly constructed. As the word “‘module” implies, individual frames are joined together to construct the stool. Coupled with the intensive use of rubber wood and its solidness, the “Modular” depicts Malaysia's strength.
