Five-star FINDS

We run through five great furniture and home décor finds at a popular Singapore store.

For more than 20 years, award-winning Emperor’s Attic has been a top spot for sourcing top-quality, hand-crafted antique, vintage and reproduction Chinese furniture in Singapore. But that’s not all! Over the years, owner CHANTAL TRAVERS has expanded the collection to include everything from art and bedding to trendy lamps – even Singapore-themed goodies that make for the perfect mementos. Take a look at this line-up of reasons to go for a browse.

1 ANTIQUE & VINTAGE FURNITURE

If you’re keen to add some old-world charm to your space, look no further. At Emperor’s Attic, each item is personally selected and independently authenticated so you can be sure of its age, origin and materials. Chantal maintains the quality of her products by working with just a few trusted suppliers and only sourcing from Northern China.

2 AWESOME ART

Chantal is a big art enthusiast and continues to celebrate great artists that capture the beauty of Singapore, including talented names like Deborah McKellar, Louise Hill, Mishell Leong and Elena Merlina. What’s more, there’s even an opportunity to commission a special piece for you or a friend by the store’s resident artist, Art by Sizzle. You can get anything from hand-drawn paintings of your home to personalised maps, wall murals and gift cards.

3 HOME DÉCOR & GIFTS

The store’s unique ceramic and stone pieces make for great accents in the home. Each item is traditionally made in Jingdezhen, China, also known as the “porcelain capital” and birthplace of Chinese ceramics.

Chantal also links up with partner brands and stocks some fantastic home décor and gift ideas, including rattan furniture and baskets from Layard Interiors, limited-edition ceramics by Bowerbird, jewellery by Stones that Rock and lush scents from Temple Candles.

4 WILLOW MATTRESS

Step inside Emperor’s Attic and you’ll also find the store’s sister award-winning company, Willow Mattress, which sells European-certified 100 percent natural and organic latex mattresses. These supercomfy and luxe mattresses are perfect for Singapore’s climate. They’re cooling, naturally anti-dust-mite and anti-mould, and, because of latex’s unique properties, they provide excellent spinal alignment. Complete with a 15-year guarantee, they come in a range of sizes including European, Australian, Ikea, some US sizes and custom sizes, too.

5 LAMPTON LAMPS

Another recent launch for Emperor’s Attic are hand-crafted blue-and-white ginger jar lamps, paired with personally selected and hand-made shades of vibrant colours and styles. Pick your lamp base design and pair it with the shade, shape, colour and style of your choice, and you have a unique, personalised accent piece for your home. #01-10 Tan Boon Liat Building, 315 Outram Road
