Design Wah!

Design WAH! returns to Licensing Village at FLAsia 2026, bolder than ever. A curated celebration of original design intellectual properties (IPs) created by Singapore's most promising emerging talents, Design WAH! spotlights creative ideas with real commercial potential from character-based IPs and product concepts to innovative design services and rich world-building narratives.

After a successful debut at FLAsia 2025, where Design WAH! brought together student creators, emerging designers, and industry professionals across three days of exhibitions, talks, and networking, the showcase proved itself as a launchpad for the next generation of design IPs. The 2025 edition attracted strong engagement from design schools, institutions, brands, and creative communities, demonstrating a clear demand for a platform that bridges creativity and commerce.

Now in its second year, Design WAH! 2026 will continue this mission with a larger curated showcase, bringing together designers, institutions, buyers, licensors, brands, and industry partners with a 200 sqm showcase space, creating an even richer environment for discovery, collaboration, and deal-making, which opens more opportunities and long-term industry engagement.

Curated by FLAsia and Creativeans, Design WAH! serves as a platform that bridges education, industry, and public engagement, nurturing a vibrant ecosystem where creativity meets opportunity. By highlighting homegrown and regional IPs, the showcase reinforces Singapore's position as a hub for design-driven enterprises, connecting emerging designers with brand owners, licensors, buyers, and industry partners on an international stage.
