Singaporean design fair SingaPlural concluded its fourth edition on 15th March with a party attended by VIPs from both the local and international design fraternity. The week-long design event closed at a record-high attendance of 28,262.
Organised by the Singapore Furniture Industries Council (SFIC), in partnership with DesignS, and supported by local government agencies, festival partners, sponsors and event partners, the festival featured a total of 168 installations from 377 local and international participants – a 19% increase when compared to the previous edition.
Officially opened by Ted Tan, the deputy chief executive of Spring Singapore, on 9th March, SingaPlural 2015 is the anchor event of Singapore Design Week. It is a platform for talents across the creative industries to engage visitors through installations, exclusively-curated design spaces, symposiums and many other activities.
“SingaPlural has grown tremendously since its inception in 2012. The week-long event was an exciting opportunity to see the innovative showcases from local designers from different fields. I believe SingaPlural will grow to be an important international platform, not only for our local designers to showcase their works, but also to facilitate collaborations between businesses and designers,” says Ted. “Design is a key driver of differentiation in today’s competitive markets. We encourage businesses to tap this ready pool of local design talents at SingaPlural and explore partnerships for growth.”
