FROM SINGAPORE

Among the hundreds of designers showcased throughout the Italian city were several Singaporeans who presented captivating projects, giving us a peek into the minds of oft-overlooked talents that bloom on our shores. No stranger to having their works presented at the Milan design week, the ItalianSingaporean duo behind studio Lanzavecchia + Wai continue to charm with the new Pebble writing-cum-vanity desk for Living Divani, and Pinch mirrors for Fiam. Their designs are often playful in nature, inviting and igniting the curiosity of users with imaginative storytelling. LivingDivaniandFiam availableatDreamand Spacerespectively. The Wallpaper* Handmade exhibition, always one of the top highlights during the design week, housed the works of seven local designers, all made around the theme of Wellness + Wonder. This includes Olivia Lee’s Elixir cabinet which references Chinese folklore about immortality, and Edmund Zhang’s Squeezy lamp which glows brighter the harder its knob is squeezed. www. olivia-lee.com;www. edmundzhang.work
