Singapore Indesign 2016 ~ 8 October 2016


Singapore Indesign is back! And this time it is going back to the original winning concept - showcasing a boutique design event in one day, on 8 October 2016.




What is Singapore Indesign?

  • A one-day design experience like no other! Held annually, you will have the privilege to discover design tours, attend talks by industry experts and opportunities to connect with architects, interior designers and industry professionals.  
  • Free hop-on/hop-off shuttle buses bringing you to pop-ups, studios and showrooms around Singapore. 
  • Be the first to witness product launches, unique collaborations, and Instagram-worthy design installations at each stop.
The Event has been held annually in design centres across the Asia Pacific for over a decade. Inspired by the idea that a design event should itself be highly designed, Indesign is immersive, curated and experiential. Save the date. Singapore’s leading boutique design event for architects, interior designers, specifiers and design lovers to discover, share and connect returns on 8 October 2016, 10:00am to 7:00pm.

Singapore Indesign will see design's leading names opening up their showrooms across the city's key design precincts, while other nigh names will be housed in a strategically located Shared Space at 72-13 Mohamed Sultan Road.


Exhibitors at Singapore Indesign 2016 includes EDL, Greenlam Laminates, Haworth, Kokaine, Kreon, Kvadrat, Luxxbox, OM, Scandinavian Business Seating, Schiavello, Space Furniture and Sunbrella. 

World-renowned, UK-based design studio Doshi Levien will be part of designer guest lineup at this year’s Singapore Indesign, while the highly popular Design Conversations also returns with a range of heated topical industry panel discussions and talks.

Singapore Indesign offers the local design industry an event that is truly bespoke. It is immersive, tailored, insightful, and showcases some of the best products, works and talent to be found in our community and beyond,” says Raj Nandan, CEO of Indesign Media Asia Pacific.

At Singapore Indesign, visitors can craft their own design trail, travelling freely from one location to the next using the complimentary hop-on/hop-off shuttle buses that ply a predetermined route. Registration is free.

New Project - Launch of Petite Pompom

It has been almost 4 years since we bought and renovated our 2 bedrooms condo. We are branching out and have embarked on a few new exciting projects and it will definitely add more reading content to our existing blog…hurray!

Our biggest and newest project is the launch of our own online company Petite Pompom which specialises in baby gift hampers for newborns, baby showers and first month baby hampers.

The name Petite Pompom comes to mind almost immediately when I wanted to start the business as I adore pompoms and petite refers to small or little. It really was that easy! 

On our Petite Pompom website, we will also feature articles on baby fashions, baby care tips, upcoming baby fairs so please do check out our new website from time to time: 

Travel Diary

We travel extensively round the world in Asia, Europe, North America and we felt that travel is something which readers are interested in. Planning is something that I love to do…..I enjoy planning events, parties and it is no surprise that I love planning holidays and road trips right up to the tiny, little details. The experience of having worked in the travel industry does comes in handy as my last job involves budgeting and planning itineraries for travellers.

We love checking out the off beaten paths when we visit a destination and most of the time I plan out my own detailed itinerary as it allows us to stay at any place we want, travel at our own pace and choose the best places of interest to visit. 

In my new travel blog, I will be sharing pictures of my travels, my own personal travel itineraries and tips. For some of you readers out there, you can just book your flight tickets and accommodation and follow my travel itinerary especially if you are the type who hates planning but do not wish to go on a tour bus with full of tourists.

Here are some of the sneak peak of our travels:

Mount Sturgeon, The Grampians Victoria
Monaco
Ceylon Tea Trails, Sri Lanka
Hoi An, Vietnam
Yarra Valley, Melbourne Australia
Look out for my new travel diary!

It means new updates on our search for IDs and documenting the entire renovation process from beginning to the end all over again!
