The Design Society is a Singapore registered, non-profit organisation dedicated to the goals of raising the general standard of design in our industry, and growing its reach and appreciation both locall and abroad. Our focus is on documenting the significance and contributions of Applied Graphic Design to Singapore society and contemporary visual culture, thereby laying the foundation to educat and inspire young designers and the general public alike. With greater understanding, Singaporeans can also better appreciate the value that the design industry brings as a whole.
The Design Society Festival 2013 Focuses on "Craft"
Craft is the activity of creation; the honest, unrestrained pursuit of capturing the invisible beauty of a work, medium or material in all of its inherent glory.
Whether by an industrial process, a digital method or the human hand, each action is conscious, considered and always driven by the will of a highly skilled and trained individual – a craftsman.
This year, The Design Society comes back with a design festival comprising various components: a conference to kick off the event, a design trail, exhibitions, workshops, film festival and other fringe events.
