10 brands and designers that stole the show at Find – Design Fair Asia 2025

Now with its own Singapore headquarter, Deluxe Systems is dedicated to connecting the finest Italian craftsmanship in luxury residential projects to ASEAN consumers. The brand offer a comprehensive, customisable array of window, door, and glass building element solutions, with an emphasis on sustainable yet durable building materials. 

Details such as choosing to use natural non-toxic paints and 85 per cent recycled alloy, as well as factoring sound and thermal insulation into their products, mean that you’re making an intelligent, eco-friendly choice for your home when you choose to work with Deluxe Systems.

Common Ground is a playful design platform that aims to provide design solutions for urban planning, community facilities, public art design, and furniture design. Their cheery approach to cross-disciplinary collaborations is clear in their exhibit, which includes the Multi Seats - Quad Comfort. 

The pragmatically named contraption is a wireframe-based seating pod that fits about four people comfortably, and can be used for meetings and casual chats in workplaces, or even as booths in restaurants. The addition of wheels means that the quad pod can be easily moved between locations, and it can be customised to suit your specifications.

The Italy Pavilion, supported by the Italian Trade Agency, is a perennial highlight at Find – Design Fair Asia. One name that caught our eye at the Italy Pavilion was Fas Pendezza, a familiar name to those who take their game rooms seriously.

The Italian company, specialising in stylish game tables with unconventional designs, was established in 1964. Each production step of their coveted game tables is meticulously undertaken, and Fas Pendezza prioritises sustainable materials and non-toxic finishes for their products.

Aspiring urban gardeners will be excited by Grobrix, which makes modular farming walls designed to fit beautifully into any indoor space. Besides bringing the farm to you, Grobix also offers what it calls “Farming-as-a-Service”, which takes care of all the farm upkeep for you. In other words, you get to enjoy access to fresh produce around the clock with minimal fuss.

Based in the United Arab Emirates, High Sense is a design studio that creates stunning contemporary 3D-printed sculptures made from recycled and sustainably sourced materials. The studio is led by Nourhan Rabah, an architect and designer who blends the organic with the futuristic. One eye-catching fixture, reminiscent of the cross-section of a walnut, was actually inspired by the human brain and what it looks like under medical imaging.

Pačinek Glass is a renowned Czech glass studio led by master glass artist Jiří Pačinek, and as part of the design fair, visitors get to witness live demonstrations of glass working firsthand. Of note is the stunning glass orchid sculpture displayed at the booth. Created as an homage to Singapore’s 60th birthday, the lifelike orchid installation is something that has to be appreciated up close, in person.

The Thailand Pavilion brings together 20 handpicked brands, emerging designers, SMEs, and artisans from the country. Names such as Moonler Collection, which transforms solid teak into contemporary pieces rooted in Lanna heritage, were quickly committed to memory. 

But it was Sculpture, established in 1999 by Nuttapong Charoenkitivarakorn, that made us pause. The studio was also the brainchild behind the “Sexy” chair featured in The Hunger Games (2012), and it unveiled a limited edition, silver version of the chair at Find – Design Fair Asia 2025. These chairs were originally crafted from remnants of industrial seat belts, turning what was once unwanted into covetable pieces of art.

This year’s Emerge showcase expands beyond Southeast Asia to include China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Curated by Supermama’s Edwin Low, alongside publisher Suzy Annetta, the showcase is a celebration of bold, unusual, and thought-provoking design that tells a story from Pan-Asian designers.

One star standout was Threads of Becoming by siblings and designers Shervon and Melvin Ong, who worked with lacquer threading master Andy Yeo to create hybrid artefacts. Threads of Becoming takes the traditional hand-threaded lacquer technique employed in religious effigies and combines it with contemporary 3D printing, thereby physically connecting the past and present, heritage and innovation.

Another key highlight was Thinkk Studio’s LoopLine outdoor furniture collection, which combines 3D-printed concrete with recycled plastic and rice husk components to create pieces that look like they were woven, but can withstand the elements of nature.
