One of the largest design destination in Asia, the Red Dot Design Museum in Singapore is a cultural landmark in its own right. Housed in a 1928 colonial building – formerly occupied by the Singapore Traffic Police Headquarters – the Museum exhibits over 1000 award winning works hailing from the prestigious Red Dot Awards while hosting regular creative activities.
The Museum has hosted Singapore Indesign since the latter’s inception in 2011, and continues the tradition this year. On 9 and 10 July 2015, visitors can visit the Red Dot Design Museum, which makes up one half of the event (the other half being the National Design Museum), to access a rich variety of commercial suppliers from near and far, as well as specially created The Project installations.
In anticipation, here’s a brief introduction of a variety of exhibitors who would be showcasing their latest product innovations at the Red Dot.
CULT works with some of the world’s leading European furniture brands, including Republic of Fritz Hansen, Cappellini, Carl Hansen + Son, Cassina, Dedon, Magis and Poltrona Frau. While doing so, the company champions quality Australian design and craftsmanship by providing designers in Australia and New Zealand the opportunity to prototype and produce their designs through different initiatives.
With established showrooms in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Auckland, its presence in Singapore is a showing that is not to be missed.

Big Ass Fans, as its name suggests, manufactures the world’s largest HVLS (High Volume Low Speed) fans that range from 2.4-7.3m in diameter. Its portfolio includes industrial, commercial and residential pieces that were designed to fit various environments. In the case of this innovative brand, size does matter – Big Ass Fans takes pride in using large fan blades, rather than speed to ventilate and move massive quantities of air while consuming low amounts of energy.
In a tropical country like Singapore, Big Ass Fans is the go-to partner to beat the heat. The brand will be featuring the Haiku, a silent and efficient ceiling fan that is also aesthetically pleasing – look out for a Haiku giveaway!
