Taking place from 22 to 24 September 2022, the FIND Design Fair Asia at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, will be the spot to explore the best of Asia's design talent. And part of the attraction is the new and emerging young Asian creatives showcasing their works at the first edition of EMERGE@ FIND. Suzy Annetta, the founding editor in-chief of renowned periodical Design Anthology, has curated her batch of design fledglings whose works are poised to set the industry ablaze.
She worked with more than 50 Southeast Asian designers to present fresh works across four pillars: "Natural & Local", "Waste", "Innovation" and "Unconventional". These designers include Alvin Tjitrowirjo from Indonesia and Wei Ming Tan from Malaysia, and rising designers Karyn Lim, Robert Sukrachand, Hoang Anh Vu, and Jim Zarate-Torres from Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines, respectively.
Here are three of the up-and-coming designers from Asia to watch:
THE PHILIPPINES-JIM ZARATE-TORRES
Jim Zarate-Torres may not be a household name but he's the founder and director of Zarate Manila, which was established in 2015. He works with local artisans, such as welders, who can create objects that are balanced and elegant, and emanate warmth when placed in an interior.
