This year’s design festival celebrates waste solution. Singapore Design Week takes place at the National Design Centre, from 16 September to 25 December 2022.
Presenting their perspective to waste are the creators of the world-famous Desa Potato Head creative and sustainable village, Potato Head. N*thing is Possible, which launches during the Singapore Design Week, is a regenerative design showcase that celebrates re-use, re-cycle, re-craft and re-live by highlighting the hospitality company’s journey to accomplish a zero-waste lifestyle.
Alongside the exhibition, there will also be other F&B, retail and workshops to attend. Here's a guide on how you can fully embody the “Good Times, Do Good” ethos as presented by N*thing is Possible!

Celebrate re-use, re-cycle, re-craft and re-live
Witness the National Design Centre transformed into a regenerative design showcase! Led by the creators of the world-famous Desa Potato Head creative village, Potato Head, and co-curated with award-winning firm Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), N*thing is Possible highlights their journey to becoming a sustainable creative hub that turns waste into beautiful objects and art. The exhibit will also reveal the detailed blueprint for Potato Head’s journey to this point, with the intention that it informs and inspires others to apply it in their own businesses.
This three-month show (16 September to 25 December) begins with activations, talks, panels, and activities involving many of the collaborators and designers. Check out the line-up of free activities here.

Slurp a bowl of sustainable dining at Tanuki Raw
Head over to Tanuki Raw at the National Design Centre, which will be serving “tasters” of Potato Head’s delicious recipes all prepared with a zero-waste mentality. For instance, the tomato melon rice bowl will include ingredients such as melon pickle, powders, vinegar, and oils – which come from the peels, seeds and scraps from Potato Head’s kitchens!
Join a Styrofoam Recycling Workshop
Conducted by award-winning industrial designer, Andreu Carulla, this free 1-hour workshop will be all about his latest innovation, the Styro-wrap!

Date and Time: 17 September, 2-3pm / 3.30 - 4.30pm / 5 - 6pm at National Design Centre
