BROUGHT TO YOU BY
The visual concept is built on the idea that Singapore’s design sector is a multi-disciplinary one. This palette of creativity is expressed through the different brush strokes designs that represent the rich diversity of our design sector. The free-flowing brush strokes represent the genesis of the design ideas, which develop into multiple expressions, from dots, to defined lines that represent architecture and a palette of colours that represent diversity. This visual is designed to be interesting enough to warrant further study, as well as the multi-dimensional aspect of the design sector.

CONFERENCE
BRAINSTORMDESIGN
by Fortune, TIME, Wallpaper*06 – 08 Mar
Mandarin Oriental Singapore
Brainstorm Design is a conference dedicated to the proposition that large organisations—if they are to innovate and grow—must embrace design as an essential component of corporate strategy. Led by the editors of Fortune, TIME and Wallpaper*, with support from Singapore’s Economic Development Board and the
DesignSingapore Council, Brainstorm Designwill bring together speakers and participants who are renowned designers, Fortune 500 executives, entrepreneurs, and government leaders, to explore the power of design and its strategic significance for global businesses. www.brainstormdesign.com
EXHIBITION
WALLPAPER* HANDMADE RETREAT
by Wallpaper*08 Mar onwardsGillman Barracks
Wallpaper*, in partnership with the DesignSingapore Council, invites you to The Handmade Retreat—a sanctuary of wellbeing, mindfulness and luxury. This edition spotlights Singaporean talent, who were commissioned to design products that aid spiritual, mental and bodily wellbeing. The highlight is a piece by Wallpaper* Handmade’s Next Generation Singapore
Designer Edmund Zhang, an industrial design graduate. Zhang’s ‘Squeezy Lamp’ illuminates with a squeeze before dimming to a therapeutic glow. Also on show are works by established Singapore-based creatives—Studio Juju, Stolen, Theseus Chan, Olivia Lee, Gabriel Tan Studio and WOHA. The greatest hits from previous Handmade exhibitions will also be on display. www.designsingapore.org/sdw
What will this year’s edition focus on?This year, we are focusing on collaboration because our dream is for the Singapore Design Week (SDW) to be a yearly celebration owned by the design community. We’ve invited ideas from the ground that we co-funded, where our partners curated their own programmes and business models. This way of working yields many more creative ideas—we hope SDW will become the launch pad for more of these creative businesses.
Are the new events happening this year indicative of particular developments in our creative culture?One new thing we’ve done is to champion design thought leadership in the form of Brainstorm Design, where we’ll discuss how good design can—and should—transform businesses, communities and lives. Nowadays, customers value good design. Brainstorm Design will send a clear message to businesses and governments to place design at the centre of their organisations
and strategies. We hope that the design community will see opportunities to make an impact, and hear from business leaders about what skills are needed to thrive in this environment.
Have you noticed any ways in which the overall dialogue surrounding design is changing?The definitions of design, and a designer, have expanded beyond the traditional notions. Design is now recognised by more people as a problem-solving tool. There is an expectation that design must go beyond aesthetics to have real impact on businesses, communities and lives. I think that overall, this is a good thing for designers.
But craft is still key. At the end of the day, while designers can and should be plugged more upstream into strategy and process, the one thing that still defines them is the ability to make things. To envision a future that hasn’t been there before. To give tangibility to an idea.
Executive Director of the DesignSingapore Council, Agnes Kwek, takes a moment to chat about the 2018
edition of Singapore Design Week, and the changing conversation surrounding design.
