Milan Design Week recently concluded its annual spring run after a week-long (18-23 April) affair that saw hundreds of shows and exhibitions held across the city’s multiple districts.
Representing Singapore on this global stage was Future Impact, organised by the DesignSingapore Council. Co-curated by design thought-leader Tony Chambers together with Milan-based author and curator Maria Cristina Didero, the exhibition highlighted Singapore as a hub of innovation and creativity, in which impactful design solutions and technology come together to shape a brighter future.
The exhibition, which ran at the iconic Bastioni di Porta Venezia, debuted new works from six of Singapore’s most talented designers: Forest & Whale, Gabriel Tan, Nathan Yong, Studio Juju, Tiffany Loy, and Viewport Studio.

Through Future Impact, members of the public were privy to the designers' unique visions for a collective global future. Each piece employed sustainable, forward-thinking solutions, made possible through the use of cutting-edge technology and poetic storytelling.
