Reviews of National Design Centre

N. L.

(sorry for blurry pic) 1. non-permanent sign 2. highly visible at night when the lights are on (maybe to stand out?) 3. code: english only (the exhibition descriptions also in english) 4. inscription: huge sans serif font used for ease of reading for majority of visitors that come to the exhibitioin 5. emplacement: placed in a very unique position because its not the first thing you see when you walk into the museum from the main entrance, you see the exhibition FIRST (perhaps drawing more attention to the actual exhibition) before viewers look around to see WHAT this exhibition is all about

A nexus for all things design in Singapore. Tons of local designs to see in a pop-up concept! There is a wide variety of products that are uniquely curated by local designers and many are even available for sale. Also, there is an exhibition on the history of designs in Singapore, including the details on the iconic Singapore Airlines' sarong kebaya, which is easily one of the most recognisable female uniforms in the airline industry. The National Design Centre also houses several design labs, such as the Materials Design Labs and the Prototyping Lab.

Nice and simple space for events, meetings, and there are some co-working space. Some small businesses also here renting some office space. You can see art exhibitions, buy local designer items, makerspace - all under one roof. What they don't have is music-related stuff.

DesignUp.io hosted its first Singapore Design event at the NDC - professional and courteous staff, great location and facilities. Love this place and keep coming back here!

D. K.

Great place to see the history of design in Singapore. Often have art market and pop up events here on the weekends. Great cafe Kapok downstairs for a gyu son bowl or coffee as well!

A. O.

Good place for those who likes modern design. You will also get to know about Singapore city structure.

C.

Nice open space. Bright and airy. A wonderful place to visit for good displays for design and creative works.

J. L.

Good place to stroll and visit artwork by the exhibitor. Good experience !

V. B.

Cool place... but the big and fabulous surprise was to find the JDMIS occupying most of the ground floor. Amazing! This is simply the most interesting and creative place in Singapore dedicated to a rounded and comprehensive jewellery industry and design education. Well done NDC 👏 for bringing in this great tenants!

F. P.

This tiny place has no entrance fee and can be explored in less than 20 minutes. It's a great place to take a quick photo, and I would definitely recommend it.

S. C.

Great place to hang out and enjoy the exhibits, cafe and kapok shop. It's also home to a prototyping lab with laser machines etc. on the first level and other offices on the upper levels. Their lecture hall and exhibition spaces are usually nicely decorated and they hold intriguing exhibits all-year-round. This design centre is worth visiting.

A place You can relax yourself going through the deplay, friendly and helpful staff

G. K.

One of my favourite places in town with Kapok, a cafe, and loads of design inspirations and conversations taking place! Definitely a chill out corner that would be rare to find in a place so central! 😁😁 Has ramps for wheelchair accessibility too to the backyard cafe!

F. Y.

Convenient spot to get to, being located right by NAFA. They house many good art events from time to time, so make sure you check them out to see what's on show then. Restaurants and shops also come and go, so you get to try new stuff each time if you come here once in a while. Offices and retail shops are upstairs and you should get access to some of the more unique local brands doing all sorts of design related things.

r. -.

If u like architectural structures, futuristic and dystopian realities, you will really enjoy the exhibits. Do come with energy tho, there is also a food court there. Also check the website for upcoming events.

As a "National design centre", the building is beautifully designed and constructed. However, personally for myself, I am not sure what is the purpose of this building. I don't really see much interesting events, or major things held by it. So, is it just a white elephant? That's up to you to visit and decide.

N. C.

Managed to catch the exhibition by Potato Head. Very well put and eye opening! Also now I know where to go if I ever find myself in Bali!

S. B.

I just love the building and the the design. It is aquite an interesting building. I have visited this building for some design exhibitions and seminars. They have a small retail outlet where they promotoe local designers. A good walk through once in a while. the whole area is quite hipster, I love it.

D. F.

love this place a hidden gem.in.Singapore

B. Y.

A very pleasant experience. Was at the SG50 exhibit earlier today and enjoyed the curated experience although I felt it was a bit underwhelming for all of 50 years worth of design. Nonetheless a few surprising facts about SG design popped up allowing me to appreciate a bit of the design history past. A nice stopover if you are in the vicinity.

V. K.

Dream destination for every Arts & Craft lover.

A. H.

Exhibitions in galleries across two levels. Well curated and interesting. The centre design store is worth a visit. Interesting objects and knowledgeable helpful staff

S. L.

Lovely place of heritage, there used to be a lot more retail shops but most closed due to circuit breaker. Pop by for something interesting.

S. F.

The national design center welcomes a boutique, a coffee, a gift shop and temporary exhibition related to design. It's a nice place to chill done and discover what are the current trends in design, architecture, etc.

G.

Their creativity in designs and prints is something to admire with. Blend of implementing modern tech with sustainability is much appreciable.

S. N.

The restaurant and shops are awesome

X. L. L.

Walking distance from Bugis MRT station, within 10 minutes. Nice place to pop by to view exhibitions and attend talks.

K. F.

They sometimes organise interesting events. There are cool restaurant, Tanuki Raw, and cloths/zakka store there too!

K. F.

The building looks simple from the outside, but I kid you not, it's way much beautiful inside! It used to be a academy, and now it has turned into offices for designers

N. L.

Went for the potato head exhibition n*thing is possible - loved it!

K. S.

This a great place where creative designers gather and showcasing their muse.

J. L.

exhibition space for the art scene in Singapore curation is quite decent, upper levels are mostly small offices for design-oriented businesses.

J. L.

A conversation from church to a commercial. Nicely done.

y. f.

Entrance of the building has been designed to showcase the capability. Will be inspired. Need to observe the details.

W. L.

Nice place for an exhibition. Well maintained.

P. B.

Some really cool exhibits from time to time - also home to One Maker Group

Just located the opposite of national library. It’s easy to get there. Fashion and mordant interior.

Very nice ambience, bright, sunny and cool. Allways changes with displays.

T. Y. H.

A good place to know what design is all about and where art exhibits and design schools abound.

P. H.

Cool oasis of calm and creativity! Just wish there was an underpass to Bugis MRT

S. K.

Near Bugis mrt

A.

Barely anything to see. NDC also has a narrow, Euro-centric, Industrial Age view of what design is.

L. O.

Always something interesting going on. Good selection of locally-designed goods.

Good exhibitions

There is an exhibition of designs from that period and a design shop. The design shop is a bit expensive, but you can buy cute and stylish souvenirs, so I recommend it. In addition to souvenirs, it is fun to see local design products (bags, clothes, household goods, etc.).

L. C.

I happened to see the 50 Years of Design in Singapore exhibition. The space planning is a little confusing. The store on the first floor sells Singapore-designed products. The prices are cheaper than Haji Lane and the quality is better.

C. L.

It's worth a visit and a rest. I think there will be different likes and dislikes depending on the exhibition content.

B. S. U.

A place to see various really cool typical Singaporean designs.
