From 11 to 13 September at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore
FIND – Design Fair Asia returns from 11 to 13 September at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, during the prestigious Singapore Design Week. Organised as a joint venture between Fiera Milano and dmg events, FIND has established itself as a central meeting point for international brands, industry professionals, and a qualified audience of buyers and designers. The fair presents a curated selection of brands from interior design, furniture, lighting, textiles, home technology, kitchen and bathroom solutions, and innovative surface materials.
“FIND is a great example of international cooperation and how we see our role: as enablers of internationalisation,” says Roberto Foresti, Deputy General Manager of Fiera Milano. “It is our responsibility to identify global trends and anticipate business needs. In a complex geopolitical landscape marked by trade tensions, conflicts, and instability, European and Italian companies must diversify their target markets – and FIND is a unique opportunity to do just that.”
Over 300 brands from 20 countries – including France, Italy, Thailand, Japan, Indonesia, and the Czech Republic – are expected to participate. Confirmed names include Geberit, Arte International, World of Wood, Woodmark, and Lube Cucine.
Of particular note is the EMERGE section, celebrating contemporary Southeast Asian design. It will showcase 150 works by some of the region’s most promising designers across a 1,000-square-metre area. Curated by Edwin Low, founder of Supermama, this year’s theme is “Dialogue Through Design”, exploring connections between people, cultures, materials, and time.
Complementing the exhibition, the FIND Global Summit 2025 will host internationally renowned speakers to discuss current topics in design, architecture, hospitality, real estate, and tech innovation. Building on the success of the 2024 edition, which attracted over 2,600 attendees and 65 top speakers, the summit remains a key platform for professional development and idea exchange. A highlight of the 2025 edition will be a dedicated focus on lighting design in collaboration with the International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD).
The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is set to be the world’s fastest-growing economy in 2025. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasts a 4.4% growth rate, contributing around 60% to global economic growth. Amid shifts in global trade flows, many manufacturers and brands are reassessing their strategies regarding the US and China, with increased interest in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and local markets. The furniture sector is booming, projected to reach USD 248.9 billion by 2027, with an annual growth rate of 8.35% (Statista).
The interior design sector is also expanding, with the Asia-Pacific market expected to reach USD 35.3 billion by 2027 (GlobeNewswire). This growth is driven by a real estate and hospitality boom, fuelling demand for premium furnishings and positioning ASEAN as a “goldmine” for European furniture brands. In 2024, Singapore alone saw 447 new hotel developments, adding 79,648 rooms. In 2025, another 647 rooms are expected, including a second Raffles Hotel in Sentosa and the first Banyan Tree in Singapore. More broadly, the hotel construction sector in Asia-Pacific (excluding China) is booming, with a record pipeline of 2,056 projects and 406,118 rooms.
FIND aims to further establish itself as the leading design marketplace in Asia, with strong support from ITA – Italian Trade Agency – which has played a key role and has confirmed its backing for the 2025 edition.
