EMERGE 2025 — “Dialogue Through Design”

Presented by the DesignSingapore Council and supported by FIND – Design Fair Asia, the fourth edition of EMERGE @ FIND returns with an expanded lineup curated by Edwin Low (Supermama) and Suzy Annetta (Design Anthology), featuring over 70 designers from across Asia.

Alongside designers from Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste, and Vietnam, this is also the first edition to include designers from China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.

This year’s theme, Dialogue Through Design, frames design not simply as an aesthetic pursuit, but as a language for storytelling and a tool for navigating complexity. It explores how design acts as a bridge between disciplines, cultures, and urgent global issues. By treating design as an active conversation, EMERGE @ FIND presents works that provoke thought, foster connections, and expand the possibilities of what design can do.

The showcase is organised around two key sections: Design Object and Design Social. Together, they explore how design shapes and is shaped by the world around us.
