Over 50 designers to present works around this year’s theme of "CRAFT + INDUSTRY: MAN + MACHINE"
Building on the resounding success of its first edition, the Southeast Asian design talent showcase will be returning to EMERGE @ FIND from 21 to 23 September 2023, as a key event of Singapore Design Week. NPO Aoyama Design Forum (ADF) will again support Singapore Design Week (SDW) .
Presented by DesignSingapore Council (Dsg) and supported by FIND – Design Fair Asia, EMERGE @ FIND will gather more than 50 of the region’s most exciting designers who will present pieces specially created for this year’s edition across 800 sqm of exhibition space. Curator of the showcase, Suzy Annetta, expands on last year’s exploration of Materiality with this year’s theme, "CRAFT + INDUSTRY: MAN + MACHINE".
