Bean Dolls of the Old Trades Eskumuturrekoa Diseinuari Buruz

Babarrun lehorrak kimuen azala metodo tradizionalarekin eginda, Bean Doll-ek Singapurreko Txinako auzo zaharreko lau figura sinboliko ditu: Towkay, Kopi osaba, Samsui emakumea eta Majie. Singapur zaharra eraikitzen lagundu zuten lanpostuak sortuz, kopa erosotasuna eskainiz, azpiegiturak eraikiz eta umeen zaintza eskainiz, hurrenez hurren. Egungo Txinako auzoko adinekoen ahaleginarekin, babarrun panpinak eskumuturraren euskarri gisa, maimuzko jostailu gisa edo antzinako ofizioen oroigarri gisa diseinatu dira. Tokiko historiaren aurkikuntzaren musa izan nahi du eta belaunaldi gazteak beren kulturan sakontzera bultzatu nahi ditu.

The dried husks were then left in a cool, dry place and carefully handpicked for production. Illustrations of the figures were printed on organic textiles using digital textile printing, which is an eco-friendly process. Next, the elderly cut and stitched the fabric, stuffed them with bean sprout husks, cotton and gave shape to a nice and firm bean doll.

i) only speak dialects which lead to some difficulty in understanding
ii) are too old to be interviewed
iii) feel ashamed of their ex-job
iv) are the only survivor of their trade (Samsui woman and Majie) and has been interviewed too many times before.
Samsui woman, dressed in blue samfoos and a red headgear, is a construction worker who fetches building materials. Majie, dressed in black and white samfoos, dedicate their lives to servanthood with unwavering loyalty.

The design outputs are functional mementoes that aim to promote the values and appreciative awareness of Asian cultures and history.

Relating jobs with security. The initial idea was to introduce exciting occupations in the 1950s, such as gangsters of secret societies and coolie, laborer from China. However, the client rejected the unglamorous occupations to avoid any touchy subject. Eventually, the design focused on people who help built Singapore.
