2019 marks the 25th anniversary of the rebirth of one of Germany’s most storied watchmaking companies, A. Lange & Söhne.

Long an admirer of the brand’s immaculate design and technical innovation, creative director Larry Peh was invited along with Su Jia Xian of SJX Watches to help curate a special exhibition on 25th September at ION Sky.

&Larry is proud to be part of Citi Commercial Bank’s effort to support the creative aspirations of financially disadvantaged children in its 2020 calendar edition for the Business Times Budding Artist’s Fund (BT BAF).

With a theme of ‘Diversity & Inclusion’, Creative Director Larry Peh and the &Larry team took part in guiding and inspiring 40 young artists to conceptualise and create digitally immersive artworks that celebrate our differences as peoples, cultures and individuals.

9 November 2019 marks the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and a starting point for a visual conversation between Berlin and Singapore.

At the invitation of the German Embassy of Singapore, &Larry led the collaborative effort to create ‘To & Fro’, a short film commemorating the event. It was previewed at the Design Film Festival 2019 and the 23rd German Film Festival, and also featured on Channel News Asia. Watch the film here.

For the closing presentation at this year’s D&AD Festival in London, Larry shared his perspectives on how Singapore’s cultural sensitivities inform our design approach to helping traditional brands stay relevant for the future. We wish to express our appreciation to DesignSingapore Council, the President’s Design Award and D&AD, and also to our clients, whose works made up the heart of the presentation. And a big thank you to everyone who attended, especially those who stayed on to talk afterwards.

We were honoured to be invited by Apple Singapore to be part of a special series of Design Lab sessions organised in conjunction with DesignSingapore Council and the President’s Design Award. 

If branding is all about externalising your identity, what does introversion add to the dialogue between creatives, clients and consumers? The &Larry team shed some light in an article by Ellen Shapiro in the Nov/Dec 2018 issue of Communication Arts Advertising Annual 59.

We are proud to announce that we are the official Art Director for NDP 2018 Show.

Long-time friend and collaborator Edwin Low, founder and owner of lifestyle store Supermama, first approached us a year ago in 2015 to work on a top-secret project. The idea: marrying Singapore designs with Japanese craftsmanship.

We began by assembling our very own team of ‘Avengers’ – Holycrap, Koh Hong Teng, Larry Peh, PHUNK and Theseus Chan – and named the project Vessels.

The works from all artists – together with our very own vase too – was exhibited for the first time at the inaugural Supermama Porcelain Festival at Gillman Barracks on 23 September 2016.

In the wake of their recent win, we're pleased to announce our latest project – the launch of the revamped site for Restaurant André.

More developments on this ongoing project will be announced shortly.
