The latest print magazine is about to arrive! With Guest Editor Colin Seah of Ministry of Design (MOD), Singapore flooding our world with love, we are ready to party in style!

The contribution Indesign has made to the architecture and design community is very much a partnership with the incredible calibre of work and the practitioners we have been lucky enough to support for the past 25 years. Celebrating this incredible milestone, Colin Seah pushes the issue deep into the world of celebration, with joy his deciding factor for every project and person selected for this brilliant issue. How we celebrate, the hotels we love, the bars that spark trysts, chefs and artists that make the heart sing, it is, in short, a tribute to everything that a party should be, including the announcement of the INDE.Awards 2025 Winners (p. 19)!

Rather than look back, we have shot forward with the architects, designers, artists and industry professionals we have been covering for 25 years. As such, rather than a timeline, we asked those we covered in early issues to show us what they are creating now. The results are spectacularly good, with clear proof that great design is recognised early and just keeps getting better (In Focus p. 86).

How we celebrate is always about great design and we have some extraordinary projects to share. For this issue, In Situ (p. 130) gets mid-century chic with The Standard, Singapore by our guest editor, MOD. We also have TuBu in India by Studio Renesa, DISSH Armadale by Brahman Perera, TAOA 798 Studio by TAOA in Beijing, The Brewery in Sydney by Tzannes, Lane 23 by K2LD in Kuala Lumpur and a whole new Village in Surry Hills by SJB, ASPECT Studios and Studio Prineas. We also have that amazing twisted building, Bundarra, at Moore Park by Smart Design Studio and Those Architects.

Our profiles are always exceptional, and for this issue we have Dawn Ng, David Hicks, David Sequeira and the extraordinary Darren Teoh (In Famous p. 104). Conversations are also revelatory (In Conversation p. 186) with Colin Seah chatting with artist Alica C. Kirwan, art collector Allan Fraser-Rush speaking with artist Eric Tobua and art director Sylvia Weimer getting to know the incredible French architect Manuelle Gautrand.

The INDE.Awards 2025 Winners are revealed and, as always, the results are brilliant with the best of the best in the Indo-Pacific recognised by our fabulous awards program (p. 19).

There is also a huge amount more and, naturally, the In Short (p. 40) section has a feast of design moments to inspire. To find out more about the magazine, click here.
