The design scene in Singapore is really heating up and it’s so heartening to me. Banish the uglies and bring on the pretties! We have a long way to go but if there’s a minor design revolution going on here, why not be part of it?
So I think we should all shop local and support all these up and coming designers and retailers.
My favourites:
Wonderfully curated and located on the second floor of a Haji Lane shophouse. My wallet suffers a major blow each time I walk up the staircase (and down again) but it’s worth it coz I cart home a bagful of loot and a gleeful grin.
On the floor of a New Bridge Road shophouse. Hmmm. Loving this shophouse thing…malls are so sterile. Paper goods and books and knick knacks! I’ve never been there yet but it’s way up there on my to-visit list.
These guys are design geniuses. Yep. They make me look at things you never noticed before (food covers and bamboo poles used for hanging clothes as furniture?)
And I love these little enclaves that are springing up all over the place. =)
