FIND – Design Fair Asia, the region’s premier showcase for furniture, interiors, and design, returns to Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre from 11 to 13 September 2025 with its most ambitious edition yet.
A signature highlight of Singapore Design Week, the fair continues to cement its reputation as Asia’s leading stage for design innovation, cultural exchange, and thought leadership. This year brings an expanded EMERGE @ FIND showcase, vibrant country pavilions, and the Global Summit—setting the stage for a defining gathering of Asia’s design community and international voices.

EMERGE @ FIND
Always a highlight of the fair, this year’s EMERGE @ FIND is its most expansive yet. Presented by DesignSingapore Council (Dsg) and supported by FIND, the showcase welcomes over 70 designers and more than 100 works, reaching beyond Southeast Asia to include first-time participants from China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.
In a milestone move, Singaporean designer Edwin Low, founder of SUPERMAMA, joins Suzy Annetta as co-curator, marking the first time a local voice helps shape EMERGE’s direction. Together, they bring the theme “Dialogue through Design” to life, framing design as a medium for exchange, storytelling, and connection across cultures.
The showcase is structured around two key segments: Design Object, spotlighting craft, materiality, and innovation, and Design Social, exploring design’s role in social and cultural contexts. Highlights include Threads of Becoming by Singapore’s Shervon and Melvin Ong with lacquer threading master Andy Yeo, a work that fuses traditional handcraft with 3D printing; Air(just) by fellow Singaporean Eian Siew, an exploration of inflatable joints as a structural system; and WV Collection by Vietnam’s LAITA Design, which bends acrylic into unexpected sculptural forms.
Across the broader Asian sphere, the lineup reflects a diversity of voices united by a shared pursuit of reimagining tradition, embracing material experimentation, and sparking conversations about heritage, identity, and how they can play a role in inspiring innovation. Take, for example, Amy Lewis’s samurai armour-inspired textiles, which are made from consumer generated waste products from local companies; or Seoul-based Ok Kim’s Merge_Wishing Pagoda, which draws references from the Korean tradition of stacking stones to express wishes and hopes, and reinterpreted through repetitive layers of natural lacquer.

International Pavilions, Global Design
FIND’s country pavilions offer a window into distinct design narratives from around the world, whilst spotlighting the dynamic growth of ASEAN’s furniture and interior industry.
The Italian Pavilion leads the lineup, reaffirming the country’s reputation for craftsmanship and lifestyle excellence. Visitors can expect refined outdoor furniture collections that combine sustainability with elegance, modular kitchen systems that trace the evolution of Italian kitchens, premium game tables that balance play and design, and innovative sleep systems that place wellness at the centre of contemporary living. Surface materials rooted in Italy’s stone working tradition round out the display, highlighting its enduring influence even in modern interiors.
The Singapore Pavilion presents a multifaceted snapshot of the nation’s design strengths in sustainability, material innovation, and smart living. Among the featured exhibits are Grobrix’s modular vertical farming systems, Cocoon Outdoor’s resilient yet stylish outdoor furniture made for tropical living, and Simply Wood, with its commitment to responsibly sourced, quality timber.
Geberit South East Asia, a regional leader in advanced bathroom solutions, reflects Singapore’s position as a hub for innovation and infrastructure. They will host a Showroom Discovery session on 12 September 2025.
Meanwhile, the Divine Creations Collective showcases craft-driven works that bridge heritage and contemporary living, while established brands such as Arte Interior Furnishings, Chee Geen Interior, Novah, and The Mill International presents the latest advancements in wall coverings, ergonomic furniture, and sustainable flooring solutions.
Visitors can also explore pavilions and collectives from Thailand, France, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Indonesia, and the Czech Republic, each offering distinct cultural perspectives that reinforce FIND’s identity as a meeting point for design diplomacy.
