The International Korean Society of Design Trend 2012 Exhibition is a biennial event sponsored by the same institution. The main intention of the Exhibition is to promote the grass – roots sense of creative cultural identity from among the asian countries.

The Exhibition was first held in South Korea venued at the Korea Design Center in 2010. In the effort towards making this even global, the sponsors had decided that the show be held outside of Korea.

Asian countries includes China, India, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Hong Kong, Korea, and many others. Great Britain, France, Germany are a few of the Euro countries participating in making the even more global as so will the participation from American Designers.



It is an honor for School of The Arts to be made the host for this even and MGTF will be giving its support in making this event a success. This show will be promoting the works of 160 designers from the various Asian Countries.



The idea is to bring to Penang the Best of the Best in Creative Design from Asia. For those who are in this field young and ‘otais’, it is seriously encourage that you be there to lend your support and perhaps learn a thing or two from the Internationally acclaimed designers.



Rub shoulders with the best and see where you stand and the many opportunities to meet those who think and act global, it through the expression of their own native cultures.



Meet the Trend Setters – Styles, techniques, psychological impact – spiritual?. Emotional, it is a good place to share our thoughts and creativity.
