ABOUT

After its debut at Milan Design Week in April 2025, Future Impact 3: DESIGN NATION returns home for Singapore Design Week with a bold showcase celebrating 60 years of Singaporean innovation through design.

Curated by Tony Chambers, Maria Cristina Didero, and—for the first time—a Singaporean curator, Hunn Wai, the exhibition brings together 14 designers and design studios whose works reimagine how we live, connect, and care in an ever-evolving world.

On show are works by Claudia Poh (Werable), Ng Sze Kiat (Bewilder), Olivia Lee, Randy Yeo (Practice Theory), Sacha Leong (Nice Projects), Wei Xiang, Supermama, and a collaborative project by FARM, VOUSE, and Changi General Hospital. Rising design voices include CJ Tan, Eian Siew, Kalinda Chen, Namjot Kaur, Nazurah Rohayat, and Wong Eng Geng. From Milan to Singapore, this is design with purpose—bold, human, and always looking ahead.

Organised into three immersive chapters, the exhibition charts Singapore’s evolving design journey:

  • Little Island of Brave Ideas reflects on how design has fuelled national transformation—from HDBs and MRTs to innovations like NEWBrew and colour-coded hawker plates.
  • Future Impact 3 features cutting-edge responses to today’s most urgent needs, including inclusive fashion, urban healthcare, and material innovation.
  • Virtuoso Visionaires shines a light on six emerging designers pushing boundaries in circularity, identity, and speculative living.

From Milan to Singapore, this is design with purpose — bold, human, and always looking ahead.
