Asia's biggest brands become so by design. Driven by a passion for reliable service, iwa Design gives major multinationals design solutions to build their brands globally.
"Companies need a very strong and reliable partner to go overseas," says executive director Dorothy Lim. "We help our clients make sure that their corporate identity remains consistent throughout the world."
Ninety per cent of multinational electronics brands in Singapore entrusted iwa Design with their retail design requirements and fit-out solutions from 1986 to 2000.
Several DFS shops at Singapore's Changi Airport showcase iwa Design's work. The company completed the Platinum Services Club Lounge at DFS Galleria at Scotts Walk in Singapore.
Being a licensed builder for the luxury brand, Burberry, iwa Design has completed boutiques in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. Other projects by iwa Design include a Versace boutique and a two-storey, 16,000-square-foot branch for Uniqlo in Thailand.
Proudly Singaporean, iwa Design assists the overseas expansion of Singapore-based companies. OSIM International has appointed the design house to execute concepts in many of its 500 outlets worldwide. The company has also designed and fabricated for Courts Asia megastores in Asia-Pacific and African countries for the past 23 years.
For iwa Design, every project is an opportunity for its specialised team of craftsmen to work with long-term partners with the aim of providing a one-stop, turnkey solution for its clients. The company's operations have since achieved international certifications such as ISO 9001 (Quality Management System), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management System) and OHSAS 18001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System).
Apart from its design, project management and fabrication headquarters in Singapore, iwa Design established production facilities in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. It also opened an office in Bangkok last year.
The company has suppliers and fabricators in China that help iwa Design execute projects such as jewellery shops in Shanghai and Beijing and a boutique for lifestyle luxury brand Daum in Hong Kong. It welcomes additional partners from the mainland and across Asia to complement its expertise with cost-effective labour and quality fabrication.
"The ideal partner would be someone who has good support in terms of production and has the same commitment as we have," says managing director Benjamin Lim. "Once we commit to the client, we make sure we deliver. And we don't just deliver; we make sure we do a good job."
