About Singapore Design Festival 2007 Initiated in 2005 by the DesignSingapore Council, the Singapore Design Festival is a biennial platform to promote design and the design industry in Singapore, create opportunities for networking and exchange of ideas, and enhance Singapore as a vibrant and creative international design city. At the same time, the festival provides a gateway to Asia's design community, and Asia to the world.
This year's Festival will run from 28 November to 8 December 2007 and is made up of multi-faceted events and activities. Championing a broad range of design disciplines, the Singapore Design Festival is a key umbrella event for the industry. Contributions to the Festival programme are made by a diverse range of Singaporean and International partner organisations - they range from design businesses, trade associations, galleries, retailers, museums, government bodies, media organisations, to of course individual designers.
The Singapore Design Festival brings partners and audiences with the widest possible range of interests together to explore design issues, do business, exchange ideas, and have fun. Events staged as part of the Festival range from major international presentations to Singaporean showcases to trade events, alongside award ceremonies, talks, workshops, product launches, open houses and designer parties.
The Festival aims to transform the design culture in Singapore and from around the world into an interactive and "live" presentation of the design process. All of this is made possible by the fact that Singapore is an increasingly emerging creative design hub with a dynamic pool of local and international design talents and design-led companies. As the city where diverse cultures converge and multi-national businesses gather to trade thoughts and commerce, the Singapore Design Festival is fast becoming recognised as a key event on the international design calendar.
Always a Better WayThe theme for the 2007 Festival: ''Always a Better Way''', is inspired by the essence of design-thinking: through design, design challenges itself to find a better solution or alternative. It is a mindset that encourages people to think, experiment and innovate in convergent and divergent ways, bringing about possibilities and opportunities with the constant strive for the best.
