As part of efforts to support the local design community, the Malaysian Timber Council (MTC) – in collaboration with the Malaysian Furniture Council (MFC) and Malaysian Institute of Interior Designers (MIID) – has completed the first and second edition of the TIMB3R Design Incubator Programme (DIP).

Touted as a first-of-its-kind incubation programme for design and manufacturing of furniture and timber products, the event took place at the Reka Interior Exhibition (RiX) held in Kuala Lumpur at the end of October.
