Five-Star Finds

Need a reason to visit popular furniture and home décor store Emperor’s Attic? Here are five!

-

1 ANTIQUE & VINTAGE FURNITURE

If you’re looking to add old-world charm to your space, at Emperor’s Attic each item is personally selected and independen­tly authentica­ted so you can be sure of its age, origin and materials. Owner Chantal Travers maintains the quality of her products by working with just a few trusted suppliers and only sourcing from Northern China.

2 ART, HOME DÉCOR & GIFTS

Chantal celebrates great artists who capture the beauty of Singapore, offering artworks by the likes of Deborah McKellar, Louise Hill, Kanchan Mehendale and Tatyana Kildesheva. You’ll also find unique ceramic and stone items (great as accent pieces!) that are traditiona­lly made in Jingdezhen, the birthplace of Chinese ceramics. Chantal also links up with partner brands to stock fantastic home décor and gifts, including baskets from Layard Interiors, limited-edition ceramics by Bowerbird, lush scents by Strait Lights, and Singaporei­nspired gifts by her own brand Wandering Duck.

3 WILLOW MATTRESS

Also in-store is sister award-winning company Willow Mattress, which sells European-certified 100 percent natural and organic latex mattresses. These luxe mattresses are perfect for Singapore’s climate. They’re cooling, naturally anti-dust-mite and antimould, and, because of latex’s unique properties, they provide excellent spinal alignment; they’re available in a range of European, Australian, Ikea, US and custom sizes, and with a 15-year guarantee.

4 LAMPTON LAMPS

These hand-crafted blue and white ginger jar lamps pair with personally selected and hand-made lamp shades. Pick your lamp base design and pair it with a shade in the shape, colour and style of your choice, and you have a unique, personalis­ed accent piece for your home.

5 THE CINNAMON ROOM

Emperor’s Attic is now a stockist of The Cinnamon Room’s range of awardwinni­ng rugs and artisan-crafted home décor! You can shop their hide, dhurrie and eco-friendly outdoor rugs, cushions, trays, tealights and more.

A WORD FROM THE STORE OWNER

I love giving quality products and brands a platform, and I’m so honoured when they choose to put their items in Emperor’s Attic. Everything is something I want to keep for myself! I want to share them with others, but also make them affordable. That doesn’t translate to cheap, given the quality, but it does mean doing my best to ensure the best price possible.
