Singapore Design Week (SDW) 2024 is an 11-day celebration of Singapore’s distinctive brand of design and creativity. Organized by DesignSingapore Council (Dsg), the festival will traverse the city-state with a rich and thought-provoking programme curated around this year’s theme “People of Design”. SDW 2024 will celebrate the everyday visionaries that shape our society through design, united by their collective aspiration to enhance how we experience life.
Anchored by a suite of engaging key programmes that reflect SDW’s three defining pillars: Design Futures, Design Marketplace and Design Impact, Dsg is working closely with leading industry experts to inform, intrigue and inspire all participants at 2024’s Singapore Design Week.
- Design Futures will explore the future of design through Singapore’s forward-looking lens, aiming to prototype a better future for us all. Upholding this pillar is SDW’s flagship Design Futures Forum, which returns with an expanded format that will be held across two days.
- Design Marketplace will unite lifestyle trends from around the world with the fast-growing design community of the Southeast Asia region. FIND – Design Fair Asia, Asia’s largest design trade fair, presents its third edition at Marina Bay Sands from 26 to 28 September 2024.
- Design Impact will inspire with innovative and impactful design solutions that tackle society’s biggest questions. The Future Impact 2: Homecoming Showcase is a key event of this pillar. It debuted at Milan Design Week 2024 featuring seven designers: Christian+Jade, David Lee, Faezah Shaharuddin, Gabriel Tan, Genevieve Ang and Interactive Materials Lab, Tiffany Loy and Zavier Wong. The much-anticipated return to local shores will see the exhibition run for eight weeks at the Asian Civilisations Museum with some designers refreshing their pieces for this special return show.
