United we stand, a community of support and rapport as a body of Interior Design professionals.
Supported by and working together with IFI – the International Federation of Interior Architects/Designers (the world’s ‘UN’ of the Interiors discipline), the Asia Roundtable will bring together 15 nations in an epic webinar, where the national associations, international bodies, guests, renowned designers, and vendors are involved in a roundtable discussion. Other nations and territories include: Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Macau, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.
Asia Roundtable will be one of the highlights during SIDFest 2021 to celebrate the positive perspective and invites designers to create experiences using the tools of our trade — materials, lights, colours, textures, spaces to paint — as a love letter and call to arms, for the fraternity, from the fraternity. The theme of the rapid roundtable webinar will be on: The Paradigm shift in the Interior Design Industry.
