Nathan Yong collaborated with Indian brand Ipse Ipsa Ipsum at IFFS on a new furniture collection

新加坡国际家具博览会(IFFS)主席、成功的新加坡家具品牌科达(Koda)创始人科尔(Ernie Koh)说，没有“亚洲设计”这样的东西。“有中国的设计，有泰国的设计，但是没有亚洲的美学特征。”这就是新加坡来这里的目的。随着文化影响从各地涌入，高认为是新加坡的时候，创造一个强大的设计特点，可以被打上亚洲的烙印。

在新加坡世博会的IFFS大厅周围，F1坑大楼的SingaPl压尔，以及城市的许多其他地方(包括我们自己的壁纸*吉尔曼兵营的手工经典)，在新加坡设计周期间，您可以感受到一种日益增长的设计热情的氛围。这些年来，新加坡的文化中心越来越强大，似乎在非洲其他地区也是如此。设计周甚至拥有自己的家具奖，自1993年以来一直存在，为即将到来的设计师提供了一个平台。

在IFFS，所有的行动都发生在新加坡设计大师Nathan Yong的中央馆周围。名为“白宫”的建筑结构由悬挂的白色丝带和以白色和纯洁为主题的住宅设计组成。Yong还在展会上庆祝了多项新的发布会，其中包括与IPSE IPSA IPSUM的合作。造型优美的新系列使当代印度旋转大理石和金属的经典工艺。在第二次展会上，《东方之旅》也推出了新的版本，在其充满活力的“戏剧剧”中，由意大利新加坡设计公司LangZaveCiChi和WAI制作。

在博览会的其他地方，国际球员也在亚洲聚光灯下度过了一段时间；由朱利奥·卡佩利尼(Giulio Cappelini)策划的一场名为“意大利酒店”的展览，是一个游憩的空间，充满了意大利的设计，从古典到当代。

新品牌Ariake还展示了新加坡与其他设计国家关系的巨大潜力，将日本制造商与瑞典设计师斯塔凡·霍尔姆(Staffan Holm)和挪威设计师安德森(Anderssen)等公司结合在一起。

返回新加坡后，SingaPLULAL展示了新加坡的装置和弹出式画面，展示了新加坡更实验性、更巧妙的一面。在新加坡，圣马丁中心的毕业生奥利维亚·李(Olivia Lee)推出了她的“雅典娜”(Athena)系列，该系列以强大的女性特质为特征，而创造性的实践则展示了一个由索尔·勒维特(Sol Lewitt)的壁画和残暴所启发的两重装置。
