design for is a non-profit organisation, funded by Nanyang Technological University’s New Silk Road Grant. It is an open platform for collaborations on social design projects.

In developing a network of collaborators, we aspire to create design solutions for the good of the individual and for a better society. Ultimately, our goal is to achieve holistic solutions for a sustainable world.

The name design for is a catalyst for the possibilities of design with a humanistic view; members of design for intentionally focus on designing for good, for people, and for cultural preservation.

Utilising scholarly research, we advocate cultural understanding and preservation by using design as a dialogue. Through this dialogue, we aim to translate, reinterpret, adapt, and try out new ideas and forms in traditional crafts for contemporary living.

As part of our work with communities, we share cultural information and aim to promote ethical consumerism for sustainable livings.
