Outofstock is a design collective made up of Gabriel Tan and Wendy Chua from Singapore, Gustavo Maggio from Argentina and Sebastián Alberdi from Spain. The team believes in “an honest approach to materials and visual form”. They also have a common interest in crafts, which recently led them to launch The Workshop Gallery at Telok Ayer Street to explore fresh new ways to highlight age-old skills.
Projects you are busy with at the moment.
The Workshop Gallery, a shop we launched recently to explore self-initiated collections and the revival of small batch production. We have also just completed the design of the second Hatched restaurant at Holland Avenue.

Number 1 concern for the design industry.
Designers have the perfect tool and skills to make sense of the exponential growth of technology and science that [will] influence future generations and the voracious appetite of the modern consumer. Yet, we do not question enough.
