IFFS Goes Viral

February 7th, 2012

The International Furniture Fair Singapore (IFFS) expanded in 2011 to include Deco Asia and The Hospitality Show. This year the three shows will occupy 70,000sqm of floor space in Halls 2 to 8 at the Singapore Expo.

This continues to be the core of the Fair, which also features D’Space (a curated space for innovative design), PLATFORM (featuring emerging local designers), the Furniture Design Awards and the traditional conference and seminar component.

But this year the Fair goes off-site as well with SingaPlural – the Singapore Furniture Design Week. This involves a series of seminars, exhibits, designers’ exchange forums and a design trail leading visitors to Singapore’s design precincts such as Ann Siang Hill and Haji Lane.

Design*Scape brings together a variety of companies, including those representing local designers. And Design-Larger-Than-Life is a competition with the theme ’Love, Think, Design, Green’ open to ten design schools in Singapore and judged by the public.

Feel the world in a new light with Tobias Grau

According to Le Corbusier, the struggle for it underpins the history of architecture. Frank Lloyd Wright described it as a “beautifier of buildings”. And Motoko Ishii famously equated it to life itself. Indispensable, life-affirming and metamorphic, light underpins all architectural and design efforts.
