Ceaseless Innovation


“Duo wins $10k for design to boost wellness in malls
The winning entry “wanted to create a space where interactions could happen within a public space, and to bring a fun or memorable moment in the day.”
Creating “moments of delight” can break monotony and improve emotional wellness.... (MDF pods fitted with wireless charging & sensor lighting.)
Another entrant sought to make malls more family-friendly with spaces for parents and children to rest. (Fabric cushions.)
One more innovation was a punching bag which when it was hit issued a positive quote from an attached printer.” (Conceived as a stress reliever.)
All sounds like poorly conceived lighthearted playfulness doesn’t it? A gambol.

NB. Straits Times "Home" section, p. B9. 14 July. (On which day the local PM was among the dignitaries over in Paris celebrating Bastille Day no less.)
