Custom Concertina Book Lamp as Project Completion Gift for Architectural Firm in Singapore, Malaysia & Thailand
Overview – A Firm's Vision of Design-Led Appreciation
In early 2025, an international architectural firm with regional offices in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and Bangkok sought to create a memorable gift for their clients to commemorate the completion of a major project. The firm wanted a gift that would reflect their design philosophy – a blend of structure, light, and materiality – and serve as a lasting reminder of the collaboration. After reviewing several options, they selected our concertina book lamp – drawn by its architectural form, customisability, and poetic resonance. The initial order was 120 sets, each requiring engraving of the project name, the client's name, and the firm's logo on the paper folds.
Customisation and Cross-Cultural Design
Our team collaborated closely with the firm's design director to create a gift that would embody the firm's identity. We proposed a concertina lamp with a custom architectural pattern engraved on the folds, the project name and client's name laser-etched on the inner folds, and the firm's logo on the magnetic gift box. For the Kuala Lumpur property, we added a Malay phrase celebrating the project; for Bangkok, Thai. Each set was presented with a personalised card from the firm's principal architect and an invitation to the project completion reception. Three master samples were produced and approved within 5 working days.
Production – Delivering 120 Sets in 7 Days
With the reception dates fixed, we activated our local factory's accelerated production line. Each lamp was inspected for paper quality and engraving precision, each box assembled with care, and each set packed for protection. Quality checks ensured flawless finishes and accurate personalisation. We completed production in exactly 7 days, utilising our ast bulk delivery capability. The sets were shipped via air freight to each office, arriving two days before the reception.
Client Reaction – A Gift That Reflected the Firm's Values
Clients received their personalised concertina book lamp during the project completion reception. The reaction was deeply positive – clients were impressed by the design and the thoughtful personalisation, with many sharing images on social media and praising the firm's attention to detail. The firm's post-event survey reported a 98% satisfaction rate, with many clients mentioning the gift as a key factor in their positive experience.
Business Impact and Reorder – A Signature Project Gift
The success of the campaign led the firm to adopt the concertina book lamp as a permanent project completion gift for their clients. They placed a reorder corporate gift with new logo for the following year, with updated architectural patterns and a new colour palette. The order quantity increased to 180 sets, now including the firm's new office in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The lamp has since become a signature element of the firm's client appreciation program, reinforcing their reputation for design excellence.
