Singaporean Homeware Brands to Know

26 March 2022

Don’t limit yourself when it comes to shopping for furniture and homeware. Get to know these local home and living brands that are producing unique and quality pieces that’ll spruce up your space.

When it comes to home decor in Singapore, space (or the lack thereof) doesn’t limit creativity. On YouTube, video logs of “house tours” in Singapore are not uncommon. From minimalist japandi themes to swanky industrial furnishing, the home-inspo is endless.

But shopping for unique pieces to freshen up your home’s interior can be a little tricky, especially if you don’t know where to start. Here’s an idea: Delve into the world of Singapore’s very own homeware and decor brands.

Go a step beyond the classic Singaporean Pak Awang chairs and Peranakan tiles and get to know these homegrown brands who are incorporating style and practicality into their innovative designs.

Cellini

For furniture that looks and feels good, Cellini is where you should look. Founded in 1986, the brand is focused on producing quality items that are timeless. From narrow-legged benches to asymmetrical consoles, Cellini’s collection of furniture will blend seamlessly into homes with industrial fittings or minimalist styles. You can expect to find sturdy pieces that are made with top-quality material like specially sourced blanca quartz and elm wood.

Recommended:
Add a versatile piece to your living room without disrupting the minimalist theme. The Cellini Ferro With Concentino is a portable side table that you can slot in over the sofa seat. The contrast between the marble tabletop and the dark teak frame it rests on adds texture to a minimalist living space without being distracting.

Commune

One for the fans of contemporary or mid-century modern interiors, Commune’s line of furniture is a marriage between form and function. Think: Quality wooden frames with a polished aesthetic. The subtle and practical designs by Commune are best suited for homeowners who enjoy clean lines, slight curves and organic textures.

Recommended:
Use shapes to break up the monotony of your home’s interior. The Commune House Shelf is a functional display shelf that doubles up as decor for an empty wall. Its unique house-like structure makes it a definite conversation starter.

doob Bean Bags

If you’re someone who appreciates a good nua (slack or rest in hokkien) time, doob Bean Bags has got you and your furkid covered. This is a brand that has spent time on R&D to create the perfect bean bag. From recliners with armrests to beds for your pooch, they’ve turned the simple bean bag into a must-have when it comes to home furniture.

Recommended:
You can, and should, create a rest corner in your living room. Spruce it up with some plants, warm light and doob’s Fwooa Ultra Versatile Spandex Bean Bag with Armrest. This bean bag is by no means just a sack of…beans. In fact, it has some structure to it and comes in aesthetically pleasing colours. Plus, its armrest will prevent arm or wrist strain if you plan on using any of your devices while resting.

Danovel

In search of luxury upholstery? You can trust Danovel to come up with elegant additions that’ll elevate your home’s interior. With more than 60 years of experience, this homegrown upholstery and sofa-making brand is the place to go to for ottomans and cushions. Using velvet and a mix of polyester, viscose or cotton, Danovel crafts pieces that are both luxurious and comfortable. The brand explores texture contrast and standout geometric or safari-themed prints in their items, making them a great option for those who love an eclectic aesthetic.

Recommended:
Mis-matched cushions aren’t a home decor faux pas. Take your pick with Danovel’s patterned cushions - you’ll find that the unique designs actually fare well when placed side-by-side. And if you’re feeling adventurous, add a safari-inspired ottoman to your living room for a pop of colour and extra seating.

Ipse Ipsa Ipsum

If you’ve fancied the opulent style of hotels or the grand homes you saw in the film Crazy Rich Asians, this brand is definitely up your alley. Focused on craftsmanship and incorporating  unique materials into their designs, Ipse Ipsa Ipsum melds classic local prints with whispers of art deco in the form of brass accents and eccentric shapes.

Recommended:
Opt for a mirror with decorative qualities like the Ipse Ipsa Ipsum Peranakan Floor Mirror to add a touch of grandeur to your dressing room. But if you prefer something small, the Peranakan desk mirror is a good option that’ll still put you in the mood to get ready for the day.

Scene Shang

For a twist on classic Chinese furniture, shop Scene Shang’s elegant homewares. The brand blends traditional Chinese elements with modern-day details in their designs. From simple wooden desks to grand armchairs with bold metal accents, any piece from Scene Shang is sure to add a local touch to your home’s decor.

Recommended:
Explore furniture with standout frames or shapes to add contrast to your space. The Maverick Armchair pays homage to cosmopolitan Asian cities with European influences. Made with bent steel frames and upholstered in eco-friendly bonded leather, this will be where you’ll spend most of your leisure time.
