Following a high-energy 2024 edition—with over 2,600 visits, 65+ brilliant speakers, and 30 engaging sessions—it’s returning once again alongside FIND – Design Fair Asia.

4. Discover the Region’s Brightest New Designers at EMERGE

If you’re after a proper dose of inspiration from our corner of the world, don’t miss the EMERGE section. It’s one of the standout highlights at this year’s showcase, shining a well-deserved spotlight on contemporary Southeast Asian design. This vibrant curation is led by Edwin Low – the brilliant mind behind Supermama – and it’s all about sparking a “Dialogue Through Design”.

This year’s theme invites you to explore connections between people, cultures, materials, and even time itself. And the works? They’re nothing short of thought-provoking.

5. Forge Design Connections That Count: FIND’s Global Push

There’s more to FIND – Design Fair Asia than just stunning booths and eye-catching displays. As the region’s design landscape shifts, the fair is doubling down on what really matters – sparking genuine connections and encouraging meaningful partnerships across Southeast Asia. To attract even more international players, it’s teaming up with global media platforms to shine a spotlight on both the event and its exhibitors. On top of that, the VIP Buyer Programme is getting a refresh, offering tailored, pre-arranged meetings that link exhibitors with hand-picked buyers. With support from top industry names such as the DesignSingapore Council (Dsg), Society of Interior Designers Singapore (SIDS), Asia Pacific Space Designers Association (APSDA), Hotel and Restaurant Association of the Philippines (HRAP), and the Singapore Furniture Industries Council (SFIC), FIND is clearly cementing its place as Asia’s design marketplace of choice.

6. Celebrate Where Style Meets Sustainability

Now here’s something we love to see – a design fair that walks the talk when it comes to sustainability. FIND – Design Fair Asia isn’t just putting on a show; it’s making conscious choices every step of the way. For starters, it’s set at Marina Bay Sands, one of Asia’s most sustainable venues, with fully offset emissions. But it doesn’t stop there.

This year, the fair is stepping things up by ditching unnecessary carpets, switching out 15,000 printed badges for sleek digital passes, and embracing modular booths crafted from upcycled materials or responsibly sourced wood. It’s thoughtful, it’s forward-thinking – and it’s exactly the kind of design event that’s moving the industry in the right direction.

7. Rise to the Occasion – Asia’s Design Moment Is Now!

There’s plenty of buzz around Asia-Pacific’s economy for 2025 – and with good reason. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasts a 4.4% growth, accounting for 60% of the world’s overall expansion. Given shifting global trade dynamics, it’s no surprise that businesses are eyeing Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and domestic markets as fresh avenues for growth.

This excitement spills over into the interior design and furniture worlds, too. Urbanisation, rising wealth, and a stronger focus on wellness are driving demand like never before. The furniture market is forecasted to climb to US$248.9 billion by 2027, expanding at a steady 8.35% each year (Statista). Meanwhile, the interior design sector is set to grow to US$35.3 billion by 2027 (Mordor Intelligence). It’s clear: if you’re looking to stay ahead of the curve, you’re in the right place, at the right time—Asia’s design moment is now.

Singapore Design Week

Beyond FIND – Design Fair Asia, there’s even more to look forward to as Singapore gears up to celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2025. This milestone makes this year’s Singapore Design Week, running from 11 to 21 September, feel extra special. You can expect the city to be buzzing with energy and creativity, thanks to a carefully curated programme that stretches from Marina Bay right through to the island’s vibrant creative districts.

From captivating nighttime installations to immersive experiences and design-led neighbourhood walks, there’s plenty to explore. What’s lovely is how these celebrations pay tribute to a nation shaped by timeless design values.
