We have been hearing from our alumni with exciting news from time to time. Today we would like to feature here is the 2021 Red Dot winning work ‘Poppu Go Chess’ by our young alumna Miss MAK Ming Huen RubyMaky (Product Design, 2020). It is Best of the Best’ for the Design Concept | Concept | Play category and the honour is shared with RubyMaky’s colleagues Cheng Ka Wing Kavieng, Wei Ruo, and Wong Cheuk Laam.
Poppu is a portable and tactile paper-based Go game. A single sheet of paper replaces both the traditional game board and Go stones. Its design enhances the tactile experience of Go Chess by distinguishing between the die-cut textures of black and white stones, making it accessible to people who are blind or have vision loss. The textured ‘game pieces’ were inspired by Kirigami art and created with die-cut and letterpress. Poppu aims to give players an alternative Go experience that is fun, easy, and relaxing. Since it is so lightweight, Poppu can be carried anywhere for a game of Go and easily mailed around the world.
Our heartfelt congratulations to the winning team!
