The Principal Interior Designer at Inu Designs and Curator of Design & Build 2025, Titi Fowora, explained her vision: “This edition is intentionally curated. It’s about presenting not just more, but the very best — people, ideas, and innovations that inspire us to rethink how we live and build. From heritage craftsmanship to future-forward solutions, Design & Build is a living canvas of transformation.”
