This September, Singapore hosted the vibrant Singapore Design Week 2025 from 11 to 21 September, marking 60 years of nationhood with the theme “Nation by Design”. Across four dynamic design districts—Bras Basah-Bugis, Marina, Orchard and the newly added Singapore Science Park—this city-wide celebration showcased how design has been central to Singapore’s transformation into a liveable, innovative and loveable nation. Our team at Formeta Design was thrilled to experience firsthand this immersive exploration of creativity, culture and future-thinking design.

Building on that energy, we had the privilege to attend the inaugural World Design Business Forum, invited by the Design Business Chamber Singapore, the DesignSingapore Council and the iSee Taiwan Foundation. The forum gathered global leaders and thought-provokers to explore how design and business are converging in new ways, offering deep insight and rich inspiration. At Formeta Design we found the conversations truly energising, reinforcing our commitment to design-led innovation on an international scale.

Our participation in these landmark events has provided a refreshed perspective for Formeta Design. Engaging with Singapore’s design ecosystem, meeting local and global practitioners, and witnessing how a city positions design as a key strategic asset has enriched our vision. We are excited to channel this experience into our work—continuing to serve our B2B clients with a globally-aware, design-forward approach and strengthening our ambition to operate at the forefront of service and product innovation.
