DesignSingapore
Design changes and improves lives, inspires
creativity and new forms of expression. It also enhances business competitiveness
in today’s crowded marketplace.
DesignSingapore is Singapore’s response to these propositions and opportunities.
As a national initiative, DesignSingapore aims to place Singapore on the world
map for design creativity. It looks to developing a thriving, multi-disciplinary
design cluster of industries and activities in Singapore that has relevance
and impact globally. The initiative also aims to bring design to business
boardrooms, new audiences and new markets.
The DesignSingapore Council, set up since August 2003 by the Ministry of Information,
Communications and the Arts, is the public organisation for promotion and
development of Singapore design.
In 2005, the Council presented SINGAPOREdge featuring 100 Singapore design
talents in London and launched the inaugural Singapore Design Festival with
134 events contributed by 88 partners. The Council has also taken Singapore
design exhibitions to the 2004 Venice Biennale International Architecture
Exhibition, Sao Paulo Architecture Biennial in 2005, World Expo 2005 at Aichi
and, most recently, the Salone Internazionale Del Mobile in April 2006. Next
on the agenda will be the Venice Biennale and London Design Festival in September
2006.
