About Us

DeTnk is an online think tank dedicated to everything relating to modern contemporary design, architecture and interiors. It is a design marketplace for the trade and acquisition of quality design, an online curated space showcasing the work of up and coming and established designers and a platform dedicated to providing the latest and most interesting news, articles and discussions on contemporary design.

DeTnk brings the world’s designs online connecting them with news, interviews, opinions, exhibition and exchange.
