East-West Design

THEY ARE DIVIDED by thousands of kilometres but when it comes to design, France and Japan are united in their pursuit of high quality and balance of form and function. And if you're keen to know how they do it, two ongoing exhibitions will show you.

First up is NO TASTE FOR BAD TASTE, so Starck, so Bouroullec... so le French Design - trust the French to come up with such a name - which is a roll call of over 40 works by design masters such as Philippe Starck and siblings Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec.

Created by le French Design by Valorisation de l'Innovation dans l'Ameublement (Promotion of Innovation in Furniture Design), the travelling exhibition made its debut in 2017. Its Singapore visit is part of Voilah! France Singapore Festival.
