Choi\, founder of The Society for the Creation of Decorative and Applied Arts in 1977\, merges traditional materials – wood\, clay\, granite – with contemporary sculptural forms.

SUMMARY:FIND Singapore - Design Fair Asia: a global showcase
DESCRIPTION:From returning highlights to exciting debuts\, FIND Singapore shines a spotlight on the pulse of design across Asia and Europe – all at Southeast Asia’s most influential design fair. FIND – Design Fair Asia 2025\, a flagship event of Singapore Design Week\, returns from 11 to 13 September 2025 at Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre\, reaffirming its position as the region’s premier design platform with a steadily expanding global reach. This edition centres on a vibrant showcase of national pavilions\, each reflecting its country’s evolving design story. \nStretching from Europe to Southeast Asia\, the pavilions illustrate both diversity and the shared ideals driving today’s global design scene. Italy\, a founding presence at FIND\, returns with leading furniture and interior brands. Joining them are Singapore\, Thailand\, Czech Republic\, and Indonesia\, along with collective pavilions from France\, Hong Kong\, and Taiwan – each contributing unique perspectives and craftsmanship. Together\, these pavilions affirm FIND’s role as more than a marketplace: it is a crossroads for cultural exchange and design diplomacy. \nDiscover Singapore Design Week 2025 \nFind Singapore 2025 \nASEAN: an emerging market \nIn an era of shifting supply chains\, tariff uncertainties\, and intensifying global trade tensions\, design and furniture brands are increasingly looking to Asia – especially ASEAN – as a resilient\, high-growth region of more than 680 million people. Vietnam has become the world’s second-largest furniture exporter\, with yearly exports surpassing USD 10 billion\, fuelled in part by US-China trade realignment. With the ASEAN furniture market projected to grow over 5% CAGR through 2029\, the region offers not only cost efficiencies and favourable trade terms\, but also strong domestic demand propelled by urbanisation and an expanding middle class. Southeast Asia is firmly positioned as a critical driver of global design and furniture growth. \nLuxury developments such as Singapore’s Park Nova and Bangkok’s The Residences at Mandarin Oriental are also boosting demand for premium interiors. Hospitality is another major force: Hilton’s Asia Pacific portfolio surpassed 1\,000 operating hotels in December 2024\, a sharp jump from 761 the year before and ahead of its 2025 target. Accor has signed 27 new projects\, adding 8\,100 keys across ASEAN markets including Singapore\, Indonesia\, and Vietnam. Indonesia and Thailand are seeing a surge of luxury villas\, resorts\, and serviced apartments in Bali and Phuket. As high-end resorts and boutique hotels proliferate\, demand for sustainable\, design-led\, and durable furniture is climbing. This creates a prime opportunity for brands offering bespoke craftsmanship and eco-conscious materials to become preferred partners in ASEAN’s fast-evolving hospitality ecosystem. \nDiscover SingFEST 2025 \nFind Singapore 2024 \nItalian Pavilion at FIND Singapore 2025 \nSupported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and the Italian Trade Agency (ITA)\, the Italian Pavilion once again brings a strong selection of companies embodying Italy’s reputation for design excellence\, innovation\, and lifestyle. Highlights include refined outdoor furniture combining sustainability with timeless design\, modular kitchen systems reflecting the evolution of Italian home living\, premium game tables blending playfulness with manufacturing expertise\, and advanced sleep systems focused on ergonomics and wellness. Completing the showcase are surface materials rooted in Italy’s stoneworking traditions\, offering architectural as well as expressive solutions. \nFind Singapore 2024 \nCzech Republic Pavilion\nPresented by CzechTrade and supported by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic\, the Czech Pavilion highlights a carefully curated mix of brands showcasing the country’s craftsmanship\, innovation\, and timeless aesthetics. The pavilion\, designed by the Design Center CzechTrade\, features bathroom solutions\, furniture\, lighting\, glass\, and artisanal products.
