Straits Times | Seven local studios showed ground-breaking designs at the world’s biggest design fair, Milan Design Week, which ends on Sunday.
In the group section from Singapore, six brands took part in DesignSingapore Council’s (DSG) Future Impact exhibition: Forest & Whale, Gabriel Tan, Nathan Yong, Studio Juju, Tiffany Loy and Viewport Studio.
Solo exhibitor Karyn Lim headlined her own show called So Plast!c – which featured home decor accessories made from recycled plastics – at SaloneSatellite, dedicated to designers under the age of 35.
The 61st edition of the week-long trade fair saw more than 2,300 design companies at the Rho Fiera fairgrounds in Milan, located just outside the city centre, and spread over about 210,000 sq m.
Milan Design Week is part of a cluster of events that includes the Salone del Mobile.Milano furniture fair; SaloneSatellite, a component of the Salone del Mobile.Milano that celebrates young talent; and Fuorisalone, which refers to events outside the fair, hosted in hundreds of venues across the Italian city.
Every year, about 370,000 attendees from 188 countries use the global platform to introduce thousands of innovative products.
