It was only a matter of time before Singapore caught the attention of the hosts of 100 % Design 2012. This year was the inaugural event in Singapore, and after personally attending the event, something tells
me it won?t be the last.
Being held right next door to South East Asia?s leading exhibition for green building ? BEX Asia 2012, provided a perfect collaboration of creativity, technology and forward thinking with 100% Design 2012.?BEX Asia 2012 covered everything from green infrastructure and energy saving capabilities to space saving. Companies flew in from all around the world to demonstrate their work and reveal the latest?technology. Terence Tan, director of Johnson Controls, who is paving the way with its forward thinking green initiatives, explained: ?As humans, we?re getting smarter so that should reflect in our technology,? he told me. Veera, managing director at Greenology PTE LTD, agreed and was proud to display examples of his work. Metres of green and colourful strips decorate his stand ? a display of what he has coined GVG (Greenology Vertical Greenery). The vertical greenery that you see in terminals 1 through to 3 at Changi Airport is Veera?s handiwork. Perfect for space saving in countries such as Singapore where space is of the essence.
But it was not just BEX Asia 2012 that is concerned with space saving; next-door at 100% Design 2012, interior designers, furniture designers and high-end furnishings companies from around the globe also flew in to showcase their talents. The furniture design at Spaceman, for example, offered an interesting take on space saving ? even offering a sofa bed/bunk bed among its many solutions. There were many more fancy installations to catch my eye, such as Design Intervention i.d?s creative inventions and the thick, luscious carpets at Four-O-Nine?s stand that combine design and luxury seamlessly. It?s no wonder that joint founders and creative directors Lukasz B. Kos and Andrei Zerebecky are anticipating the future ? given the positive response they had at the show. ?We have had some big hotel brands contact us on the back of this show,? said Zerebecky. ?And we could even have an order already.?
Singapore, with its strategic location and plethora of luxury hotels is increasingly becoming a hub for MICE events and although this was 100% Design?s first year in the Lion State, it did not fail to impress. Here in Singapore, it?s not just the scene to be seen, it?s the scene to be green.
