Authentic.

Original.

Innovative.

Compassionate.

These are the four pillars through which Launch Pad celebrates and supports emerging design talent across our region. For 2017, Launch Pad is returning to discover Asia Pacific’s more ground-breaking design, and nurture that prototype through to production. And thanks to the design, marketing, business, manufacturing and public relations minds behind one of this region’s premier design powerhouses – Schiavello – never has Launch Pad penetrated the heart of our industry to such a great extent.
