SingaPlural returns for its 4th edition from 10 to 15 March at 99 Beach Road to showcase the best design elements from advertising, architecture, urban planning, landscape architecture, as well as interior, furniture, graphic and fashion design.
March 3rd, 2015
This week-long design celebration represents an international platform for talents across the creative industries to engage and evoke the design sense of visitors; through installations, curated design spaces, symposiums and many other activities. It will be held in conjunction with the International Furniture Fair Singapore 2015/32nd ASEAN Furniture Show, The Décor Show 2015 and Hospitality 360°.
Themed “Process”, SingaPlural 2015 celebrates the importance of design beyond the end product.
The lineup:
Project X – Dot your I’s and Cross your T’s
Lamitak has partnered with four local design talents and groups, who will be showcasing the process of transition and transformation of laminates beyond its perceived form. The process of creation starts early before the festival dates of SingaPlural 2015 and is closely documented.
Venue: 99 Beach Road
Design Installations – Connect the Dots
Undertaken by designers, makers, manufacturers, builders and design schools alike, a curated route through design installations demonstrates different perspectives and voices, expanding the possibilities and mind-sets towards “Process”.
Venue: 99 Beach Road
Talks + Symposiums – The Little Red Dot
Targeted at a design-centric audience, talks and symposiums discuss subjects of relevance to the design community and connect with the audience on different levels. A key focus of this pillar is the Singapore Design Business Summit 2015. Themed “Celebrating Our Design Journey”, it invites pioneer designers to share their experiences.
Venue: 99 Beach Road
Tours – Follow the Dots
Curated through the process journey of design, the tour participants will be led through designers’ studios where designers could share their work approaches and ideas, to manufacturers’ production facilities where prototyping and production take place, and finally to design retailers where creations are sold with a story. This experience accords participants a holistic view of the design industry.
Venue: 99 Beach Road
