Scanteak Park Mall 48 Hour Makeover

01 March 2012

Scanteak is participating in this year’s SingaPlural – Singapore Furniture Design Week!

From 7th to 11th March 2012, our showroom at Park Mall (#03-02) will be undergoing a 48-hour makeover as part of SingaPlural’s Design-Larger-Than-Life competition. Students from Temasek Polytechnic (TP) will be in charge of giving our showroom a brand new look to go with the theme “Love, Think, Design, Green”. The team, made up of students selected from different fields of Design, have at least 30% of our showroom to work with, so everyone is invited to come and view their showcase!

Temasek Polytechnic is among the five design schools selected for this competition. Each school will be partnered with an industry retailer, and is given a funding of $2,000 for the project. Not only for showcasing and encouraging local talent, the competition is also aimed at developing an understanding of furniture design with reference to the environment and its sustainability. Another objective is to introduce and encourage “Green & Eco” designs.

SingaPlural is a design trail featuring the best of local design, and is held in conjunction with the International Furniture Fair Singapore 2012/29th ASEAN Furniture Show (IFFS/AFS 2012). Co-organisers include the Singapore Furniture Industries Council (SFIC), International Furniture Fair Singapore Pte Ltd (IFFS). Other supporters include International Enterprise Singapore, SPRING Singapore, Singapore Exhibition and Convention Bureau and Singapore Tourism Board (STB).
