The Red Dot Design Museum’s Design Museum Shop is a natural extension of the exhibition and a showcase for the internationally sought after design award that recognizes high quality in product design.  Housed in the iconic Red Dot Traffic building, the museum and its shop occupy the former Singapore traffic police headquarters, a building which dates back to the British colonial era. The building’s bright red façade can’t be missed and draws attention to those who come to visit the area.

The Design Museum shop sits in a glass enclosed retail space and has an urban, futuristic feel.  While the shop’s retail mix favours Red Dot Design Award winning products, which enables guests to bring home their favourite items from the museum, visitors can also find the work of local Singaporean artists such as Mei from DUSK, Colin Chen from Fabrix and John Chan’s famous ‘Singlish’ book.

Three Conversation Pieces for the Table:

01 The Geo Vacuum Flask by Normann Copenhagen: A colourful and visually appealing way to serve liquids to guests.

02 The An&angel DECO bowl by Artis Nimanis: Every table needs a bowl with elegance and simplicity.

03 The Aquarium Dumbell by Shinichi Sumikawa: Its elegant trophy like shape is a great conversation starter on the table.
