Crafting Design Future

When design fused with the spirit of craftsmanship can generate a powerful synergy and impact. This will lead to the emergence of “New Craft”, a fresh stream characterized by small-scale production, use of indigenous resources, co-creation with clients, application of technology, products with a sense of human affection, and equally important, growth of regional economies.

In this edition, we attempt to examine the interplay of design, craft, and technology, and “New Craft” as invigorated by new perspectives in terms of knowledge, skill-set, mindset, use of materials, production models and alike – as we term it, “New Know How”. Together, they play a crucial role in shaping the future path of design.
