Red Dot Design Museum, Singapore

Situated in the picturesque Marina Bay District, the Red Dot Design Museum boasts an impressive all-glass exterior and striking geometric shapes, adding to the collection of remarkable architectural wonders in the area.

This museum, along with its counterpart in Essen, Germany, forms the largest exhibition of contemporary design globally. All of its 2,000 exhibits have earned the prestigious Red Dot Design Award. Recipients of this award are selected based on criteria such as aesthetics, innovation, functionality, and the ability of the concept to bring joy.

To gain insight into the museum's approach to design, don't miss the "A Preview of the Future" exhibition, showcasing over 300 award-winning designs. It provides a glimpse into the future, featuring items like a wallet that organizes your cash and coins and a musical wheelchair.

Beyond being a hub for world-class design, the Red Dot Design Museum is a must-visit for design enthusiasts seeking souvenirs. The museum shop offers a selection of locally-designed products, ranging from the elegant Blackout Watch to the LUMIO lamp that resembles a hardcover book.

To witness these beautiful designs in a practical setting, enjoy a coffee at the museum's Café Bar, adorned with Red Dot-awarded furniture and design items. Operated by the museum, the café serves local coffee, beer, and desserts.
