Referencing the cult classic film, “The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ Wan captures each stage of growing up, with a developed and progressive product range for the journey of man. With this is mind, Greek philosopher, Epicurus divulges the ‘happiness checklist’ which resonates with Wan Hung during the design process. This includes a mindful simplicity of survival elements from friends, freedom, thought, food, shelter and clothing.
Taking this inspiration, a stage further, Wan Hung adds sports to his own personal happiness checklist, with the overwhelming importance this factor have in a culture-less modern day society.
