IN FOCUS

On the Cusp of Design Greatness in Malaysia by Gloria D. Gamat Furnish Now editor

What makes furniture manufacturers such as Supreme Tropical Furniture "gamble" on young designers who are practically amateurs in the field? What is the principle behind such an outstanding effort? An effort that was initially to help Malaysian International Furniture Fair (MIFF) make Furniture Design Competition (FDC) successful turned into an advocacy for Supreme Tropical Furniture. The company truly assisted MIFF in providing a platform for young designers to deliver their ideas into real products.

The Infinity Lounge Chair by Wan Nurhanis Farisa Binti Aziman (MIFF FDC 2015's third prize winner) is prototyped by Supreme Tropical Furniture together with ELK Furniture Industries
