PRIDE OF PLACE

Unique conversation pieces for the friend who has it all.

MOOOI

PET LIGHT

Playful is the first word that comes to mind when describing Dutch design firm Moooi, and it's Pet Light certainly bears that stamp. Made up of table lamps in the shapes of an owl, rabbit, and penguin (named Uhuh, Purr & Noot Noot respectively), the collection is designed by Marcel Wanders. Buy the trio together or separately for an adult or child – the snowy white frosted glass pieces with gold-plated ceramic accents are sure to charm. Each has a rounded figure, standing no taller than 33cm, doubling up as cute companion by day, and mood light by night. Space Furniture, 77 Bencoolen Street

FRITZ HANSEN

MOON EYE VASE SET

Paying artistic tribute to imperfection is this new pair of vases from Danish brand Fritz Hansen. Sculpted from mouth-blown glass, they are inspired by symbols of the crescent moon and eye. As a result, no two are the same, with differences in height, thickness, and colour attributed to a specialist fixed-mold crafting process. The brainchild of Danish female designer Grethe Meyer, who died in 2008, they can be displayed together or individually, with just a fistful of flowers. Meyer was trained as an architect and is known for designing Danish homes that showed respect for nature. W. Atelier, Tan Boon Liat Building, #13-08
