Dawn Koh- Founder Of Extory
Known especially for its sumptuous paper flowers and flower walls, local start-up Ektory creates beautiful ornaments, as well as striking settings and installations – all handcrafted using the simple and humble medium that is paper. Founder Dawn tells us more about her love for paper, and the team’s visually arresting artworks.
What led you to focus on paper art?
It was a happy accident! One of my first few requests was inspired by Chanel’s couture shows – a bride wanted a 5m white paper flower wall on stage. I had never made a single paper flower before, but decided to take up the challenge. I stayed up all night to make a small sample wall for her, and she became my first paper flower wall client.
