form:a
Curated Initiative
form:a, short for form: Asia, is a curatorial initiative launched by design /delight. It spotlights Asian designers in dialogue with global practices, highlighting the diversity and creative vitality of contemporary Asian design.
Both the participant lineup and thematic focus of form:a are developed collaboratively by the curator and design /delight. By bringing together established and emerging talents across Asia in a collective context, the curated initiative sustained research on contemporary Asian design and encouraging cross-cultural dialogue.
Each edition of form:a addresses a different social and cultural issue, exploring the role and relevance of design in today’s world. The inaugural edition takes contemporary craftsmanship and material innovation as its starting point, examining how traditional techniques and emerging technologies intersect in the present to shape the possibilities of future design.
debut
Section
The debut section welcomes design galleries, creative studios, and collectives established within the past five years, showcasing their latest collections or exclusive projects created for design /delight. It celebrates the creativity and experimental spirit driving contemporary design.
As a premiere platform, debut encourages bold innovation and original thinking, giving fresh design voices a stage to meet international audiences. At the same time, it offers collectors, curators, and industry professionals a front-row opportunity to discover new talents and anticipate the future directions of design.
