Duyong, a restaurant designed by zlgdesign [susanne zeidler and huat lim] created from tradition, albeit reference to the art of making boats, nearly lost through the ages can be seen here in Kuala Terengganu, in Pulau Duyong. The simple geometry of a arched structure assembled to represent and echo the forms of a malay boat gives this interior its essential meaning and presence.

One of the most incredible artist alive today, Anish does it with simple materials, but he draws out the energies from them, from within. Spiritual in some ways, aggressive yet subtle and engaging at the same time. Red is his colour, and stainless steel is his material. Beautifully made pieces, as with Donald Judd’s work, precise and beautiful in its form, but also painfully sophisticated in how it is made. As public art, the work is very powerful and engaging, as with this stainless steel installation in a public plaza.
