Celebrating The Spaces Where We Work, At The INDE.Awards

At the inaugural INDE.Awards, we’re celebrating the best in design across the Asia Pacific region, and that includes the design of the spaces where we work; presenting The Work Space, sponsored by Shaw Contract.

Honestbee is an online grocery delivery service based in Singapore, with operations in singapore and other parts of the Asian region, and Wynk Collaborative’s design sees an open and collaborative environment that blends the functions of work, play and community.

Shaw Contract products are installed in more than 80 countries worldwide, with showrooms, sales ofﬁces and manufacturing facilities around the globe. We’re thrilled to have partnered with them on this inaugural Work Space award. Checkout the official results of the INDE.Awards here!
