Platform is
an initiative under the Design Entrepreneur Development
Programme by the Singapore Furniture Industries
Council (SFIC). It aims to provide a sought-after
avenue that helps promising, young furniture designers
in Singapore and the region launch their new prototypes
in the international market, kick-start their
design careers and form fruitful partnerships
with leading manufacturers and buyers.
Platform is
held annually in conjunction with the International
Furniture Fair Singapore and ASEAN Furniture Show
(IFFS/AFS), one of Asia’s premier design
led furniture trade shows from 9 – 12 March.
This year, Platform will be located at Hall 6,
Singapore Expo.

"Platform is a viable
avenue for aspiring design entrepreneurs to showcase
their products. We have received many enquiries
from buyers at Platform. Coupled with the media's
recommendations of the showcase, it has reaffirmed
the marketability of our products and boosted
our confidence in exhibiting our homegrown brand
on the international stage."
- Mr Bacus Boo, 1degOFF, Singapore
"Platform has allowed me to network with
key furniture design industry players and brought
about some good business opportunities. It is
a good launch pad for young designers of all nationalities
to get noticed by manufacturers and buyers from
all over the world."
- Mr Jarrod Lim, Jarrod Lim Design, Australia
“PLATFORM
has opened up a wealth of opportunities for me.
One of my designs showcased at PLATFORM has earned
me the chance to collaborate with a local design
firm and I’m proud to say that the final
product would be displayed at the prestigious
Salone Satellite fair in Milan.”
- Mr Kelvin Teo, Design Metaphyz Pte Ltd, Singapore
“With
PLATFORM, design start-ups like us now can now
enjoy the excellent exposure offered at the International
Furniture Fair Singapore/ASEAN Furniture Show.
Through our participation, we managed to interact
with international trade players from various
market segments, thus gaining invaluable insights
and potential business opportunities."
