A WEEK OF DESIGN

From the interdisciplinary collaborations at Singaplural to the new furniture collections at International Furniture Fair Singapore, we look back on some of the highlights during Singapore Design Week

D-BODHI SCENE SHANG

Add local flavour to your interiors with collaborative designs from the Singapore furniture brand. Just for the Singaplural design fair, Scene Shang has collaborated with a variety of home-grown talents to create a series of limited edition furniture pieces and homeware items. These include chess pieces made by a local artisan, porcelain bowls textured with ribbed fabrics by Singapore fashion label In Good Company and a bench with a local tattooist’s design etched onto its leather seat. sceneshang.com This Vietnam-based eco-conscious furniture brand marks its 10th anniversary with a celebratory theme of “enlightenment” that extends to everything it does, from its furniture pieces to its eco-conscious design approach. Highlights include Shelfmate, a modular shelf system that can be customised to suit your space and storage needs. Available at Journey East; visit d-bodhi.com for more information

MAIORI

Make your home a greener space with solar-powered lights and sustainable furniture from Hong Kong-based brand Maiori. Top picks from its recent collection include the stackable Kose chair, which was created in collaboration with New York-based designer Karim Rashid, as well as solar lighting pieces such as the Parade beach torch and the Pose 04 table lamp.

KYO PROJECT

To encourage more modern usages of Japanese craftsmanship, the Kyo Project—a creative initiative organised by the Kanto Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry—has paired Singapore design and architecture firms—woha, Ministry of Design (MOD) and Asylum—with artisans from Japan’s Kanto region to create contemporary furniture and lifestyle products. Highlights include Asylum’s vegetableshaped playground made with paulownia wood and MOD’S whisky glasses, which are inspired by the mountainous Yamanashi Prefecture. info@kyo-project.com
