ABOUT
Launched during Milan Design Week in April 2024, Future Impact 2 revealed a suite of newly commissioned works by seven visionary Singaporean designers, demonstrating the evolving and transformative power of design for a more sustainable future. Future Impact 2: Homecoming Showcase sees the designers return to Singapore to present their work once again, with some projects further developed.
Curated by Tony Chambers and Maria Cristina Didero, Future Impact 2: Homecoming Showcase will demonstrate how designers push the boundaries of their creative practices and create forward-thinking designs that address pressing global challenges, minimise environmental impact, and reimagine production methods.
The participating designers are: Christian+Jade, David Lee, Faezah Shaharuddin, Gabriel Tan, Genevieve Ang and Interactive Materials Lab, Tiffany Loy and Zavier Wong.
The designers have either integrated novel technologies or pushed the boundaries of production to develop a series of works that minimise environmental impact, reconsider current production methods, and enhance functionality.
From unifying traditional craftsmanship with 3D printing, to streamlining production with technology, to furniture designs that remove carbon dioxide from living spaces and interactive ceramics that can transfer heat, Future Impact 2: Homecoming Showcase reflects Singapore’s forward-thinking vision and approach to design.
