It features up-and-coming international names such as Yang Peng of China and Chitmanee Chongwitookit of Thailand, as well as emerging local talent Don Low and pioneer artist Goh Beng Kwan. In addition, the Official Furniture Partner, Fred Lives Here, offered two to four artists an opportunity to work their magic on Fred’s furniture to create a new collection, of which selected works will be featured at the fair.
