Craft X Design

Craft X Design pairs four traditional craft practitioners with four local designers and/or studios, to collaborate and explore how traditional crafts can be reimagined into innovative and modern products that embody Singapore’s rich and diverse cultural heritage.  

This showcase presents the product prototypes co-produced by the four pairs which range from furniture to fashion to metalware, and highlights the possibilities that can emerge from the intersections of craft and design, culture and creativity, tradition and modernity.
