If Green is used to describe a single tree in isolation, Greenery captures the multitude of the forest. To pay tribute to Singapore’s forests, Kanopi presents a verdant offering of wood, a prism of greenery arranged in a bundle of carefully curated pencils, each representing a different tree in its material and hue.
The interplay of construction and vegetation in Singapore makes for a permanent dialogue between artifice and nature, with the latter presenting as a veritable rainbow of greenery, as diverse as its inhabitants—people and plants alike. An ode to the Garden City’s colours, Kanopi is a literal expression of the variety of Singapore’s flora and fauna, particularly the over one thousand species of trees that call Singapore home. This project is a miniature rainforest in its own right, consisting of a bundle of coloured pencils that represent different trees—made of their own wood and sporting their unique shade of green. Kanopi is an exercise in quiet contemplation and wide-eyed discovery, inviting us to both consider and draw nature in all of its complexity.
