SIXiDES announced and debuted a new symposium known as SIX+ at the latest Designers Gathering that it runs with  Häfele Singapore monthly.

SIX+ will serve as a platform for industry leaders in interior design and architecture to come in and share their expertise and experience in the field— a valuable resource for interior design firms striving to stay ahead in design trends, materials, and project execution in Singapore’s competitive interior design & renovation landscape.

The first ever symposium kicked off with storytelling in design and the tools they used to develop them, with Melvin Keng from Kaizen Architecture and Dennis Cheok from UPSTRS_ spearheading the event.

In addition, Melvin talked about materiality and hardware using his own home as an example. Dennis shared his ideas on materials, their history, and tactile qualities — insights especially useful for designers navigating client concerns about durability, safety, and even CaseTrust renovation standards.

SIX+ was conceptualised as an intimate and interactive place for all designers, aspiring or veterans, to get together to learn, share, and be inspired.

“We intend to run more of SIX+ around Singapore, travelling to visit the many showrooms around the country, bridging the gap between merchants and designers,” said Astley, CEO of SIXiDES.
