Product Description
Inspired by the Japanese art of joining, “Kintsugi”, the collection pairs two timber pieces of different grain to form a complete tile. The simple contrast at close proximity highlights and celebrates the natural grains and textures which are unique to timbre products.
The modular system encourages efficient manufacturing and ease of installation. Individual pieces can also be taken apart and reconfigured to suit the needs of different spaces. This makes the tiles suitable for wall, floor, and ceiling applications.

His explorations in lighting and tech installations have led him to commissions by Nike, Adidas, Gucci, L’Officiel, to art institutions like ArtScience Museum Singapore and Art Central Hong Kong. Jun’s works span various scales and are often spatial – with an emphasis on material honesty and imperfections. He often uses material and immaterial elements to ignite visceral and tactile interactions.
