NS BlueScope Malaysia’s integral role at the 2025 DOTY Awards

As the 2025 DOTY Awards Platinum Partner, NS BlueScope Malaysia's support allowed for the night to be a wonderful celebration of award-winning design

NS BlueScope Malaysia makes a triumphant return to this year’s Designer of the Year (DOTY) Awards, joining ACGMEDIA’s annual celebration with high spirits and bringing along a pop-up installation of its first-class products. The DOTY Awards is a prestigious event series celebrating the remarkable works by exceptional Malaysian and international designers in the industry, as well as celebrating their brilliance and ingenuity as inspiring personalities.

DOTY not only grants recognition to the nation’s best designers but also provides an established platform for them to showcase their stellar creations as a means of cementing their contributions to the advancement of the Malaysian design industry. The night perfectly capped off Q1, where M Resort & Hotel was transformed into a dazzling space filled with accomplished guests. Honouring DOTY’s 15th annual installation, the much-anticipated Award Gala Dinner on March 27, 2025 proved to be a memorable occasion.

NS BlueScope Malaysia’s pop-up at the 2025 DOTY Awards Gala Dinner was a proud showcase of the brand’s proprietary steel products including the COLORBOND® steel, VERMOE® steel and ELEMENTS® steel. Demonstrations of the three products’ impressive characteristics greeted guests as they mingled and networked at the Gala Dinner.

COLORBOND® steel is crafted with precision for structural strength and refined with advanced coating technology for lasting corrosion resistance. Its uniquely formulated paint system, developed at BlueScope, ensures enduring colour integrity and aesthetic appeal. Designed to withstand time and natural elements, COLORBOND® steel offers architects a material that delivers both beauty and resilience.

Made to mimic wooden surfaces, Elements® steel provides the strength and longevity of steel while indulging the design and textural option of a soft wood finish. Engineered for ease of maintenance and enhanced with UV and scratch resistance, it is an ideal cladding solution for sophisticated interior applications including feature walls, ceiling panels and more.

Versatility comes in the form of the VERMOE® steel series. The fine-grained steel presents a sense of urbanism with its elegantly clean texture, fusing style with robust performance.

NS BlueScope Malaysia’s involvement as the Platinum Partner at the 2025 DOTY Awards made the night a spectacular affair, connecting hundreds of designers and guests from all over Malaysia, and this year, even Hong Kong! We extend our heartiest thank you to NS BlueScope Malaysia for making the 2025 DOTY Awards possible.
