After a triumphant inaugural edition in 2022, FIND – Design Fair Asia is all set to make a grand comeback as the premier marketplace for furniture, interiors, and design. The event will grace the Singapore Design Week from 21-23 September 2023 at the iconic Marina Bay Sands, spanning an impressive 18,000 square metres of exhibition space.
