Bring some local f lavour into your interior with collections by homegrown studios and Singapore-inf luenced designs

GARDEN STATE

Depicting the otherworldly Super Trees at Gardens by the Bay, this candle from Baobab Collection pays tribute to our sunny city state. The Cities - Singapore scented candle is available in four sizes, and carries the botanical notes of galbanum, gaiac wood and Texas cedar, all housed in sprightly, pasted-toned vessels. Available at Flaming Queen; f laming-queen.com

BACK TO BASICS

Comprising a bench, coffee table and side table crafted from discarded timber, the Essential collection by Viewport Studio was designed for Industry+ with the aim of minimising waste. Every piece is unique as the planks of salvaged wood are arranged into compositions based on their shape and size, before being air-dried, sandblasted and assembled into furniture in a natural ebony stain. Available at Industry+; industryplus. com.sg

ON CLOUD NINE

The Cloud collection of stools and low tables by Karyn Lim features rounded edges that make the pieces appear to f loat above ground. Their ombre finish can be customised in your colour of choice, be it pastel tones or deeper hues. Available at Shouten Store; shoutenstore.com

PLAY TIME

Helmed by husbandand-wife team Debby Yu and Matthijs Rikken, the Singapore-based design firm Studio Dam has launched wall decal brand Evercasa. The couple created reusable wall stickers with fruitthemed designs, geometric forms and alphabet letters suitable for children’s bedrooms or any space in need of a fun decor update. Available from evercasa.co

ROSY VISION

Lanzavecchia + Wai has teamed up with Italian brand De Castelli to create this striking copper bench entitled Wave. This metallic statement piece is a modern reinterpretation of traditional shoe benches, and is designed to naturally oxidise over time to form a unique patina. Available at decastelli.com
