Returning for the 5th year, SingaPlural 2016 was held from 7-13 March over the last week at 99 Beach Road. This main anchor event saw a combination of 71 design installations from various industries and backgrounds. This year's theme focuses 'Senses: the art and science of experiences' and shows how designs can make a difference to our daily lives.

It was an eyeopener as visitors were stimulated and inspired by the various creative installations at the venue space. Supported by DesignSingapore, SPRING Singapore, International Enterprise (IE) and Singapore Workforce Development Agency, SingaPlural serves as an excellent platform for the creative brains in the various industries to come together to showcase their bespoke installations.

For me it was an evoking cum sensory experience. Here's a recap on the buzz if you have missed it.
