Sign of Our Times

Sign of Our Times

2015

Sign of Our Times draws from Singapore’s ubiquitous “Danger–Keep Out” construction sign. Launched alongside the rebranding of Bynd Artisan, it marked the start of a creative partnership that led to many collaborations.

Executed in black and made primarily in leather, the capsule centres on protective essentials — wallets, document holders, and garment pockets — designed to be compact, unobtrusive, and purposeful. Instead of reproducing the sign’s loud public warning, the message appears as a subtle blind deboss on the interior: what was once overt becomes private, a quiet reminder to safeguard what matters most.
