Good Design Research: New Optimistic Works presents CASE STUDY: DESIGN & MADE IN SINGAPORE

This exhibition showcases a collection of objects that explores possibilities and experiments with manufacturing capabilities in Singapore.

And made in Singapore by makers and manufacturers: Mud Rock Ceramics, Shibui Furniture Collective, Baremetalco., Wah Chye Engineering Work, Chop Wah Hin Sheet Metal Works, A Thing of Sense and Synergraphic Design.

New Optimistic Works is a design label creatively directed by Studio Juju.

Venue: National Design Centre, Room 5.1, Level 5

When: 16 - 25 Sep 2022, 10am - 5.30pm
