However, Yong\u2019s propensity for innovation began years before, in his childhood.<\/p>\n<p>Growing up in a wooden hut by the seaside with limited materials available required Yong to invent his own toys using treasures he collected from the beach. He continues to utilize that same habit \u2013 to create with indigenous resources \u2013 when designing furniture, relying on readily available materials, such as wood and steel. Yong graduated from the University of New South Wales with a distinction in Masters in Design.<\/p>\n<p>After serving as the creative director of Air Division from 1999\u20132009, he launched a consultancy called Nathan Yong Design and Folks, a furniture label that honors Asian furniture craft. In terms of scale, Yong\u2019s pieces are influenced by the congestion of city living and value function and simplicity. \u201cMy work is a reflection of my yearning for nature in a concrete jungle like Singapore. Spaces are smaller and people are busier,\u201d says Yong.Read Less Today, in addition to running his own furniture label and consultancy, Yong also serves as design director for Grafunkt, a promising Singapore-based company that focuses on Asian designers and products. He has received the Singapore President\u2019s Design Award for Designer of the Year in 2008 and the Red Dot Concept Design Award in both 2006 and 2007.
