The School of Interior Design (opens in new window)  (SID) celebrated 75 years of year-end showcases with YES 2025: Reflections (external link, opens in new window) , a student-led exhibition spotlighting the creativity, skill, and dedication of emerging designers. Held inside SID’s three-storey studio warehouse, the event transformed working spaces into immersive galleries, installations, and design activations. As a cornerstone of the program, the showcase invites students to reflect on their growth, share their creative journeys, and engage with the broader design community. Reflections welcomed more than 1,500 visitors and honoured the legacy of SID while imagining bold new directions for the future of interior design.
