What transpired during the time Wan Yi had to work abroad in Denmark was that she fell in love with a feeling. Hygge, a Scandinavian concept that describes a sensation of utmost comfort, left such a lasting impact that she sought to recreate this exact sentiment in the condominium that she acquired in Singapore with her husband, Chiak.
There are no hard and fast rules to creating an interior style that incorporates hygge. Fortunately, the owners’ enviable collection of furniture and lighting set the yardstick for their interior designer to take reference from. Their acquisition comprises mostly original and restored 1950s and 1960s vintage pieces by designers the likes of Poul Henningsen, Jorn Utzon, Christian Dell and P.V. Jensen-Klint. These were personally sourced from vintage shops and weekend flea markets in Denmark as well as Singapore.
“We went for the Danish Scandinavian aesthetic for this apartment, since the couple was enthralled by the mid-century Danish style and wanted their abode to accommodate their existing mid-century furniture and lighting,” explains Icon Interior’s design expert Wayne Chan of the makeover at Flame Tree Park. He further elaborates that Wan Yi and Chiak wanted an open and airy concept that maximises natural light. Seeing as most of their wood pieces sport teak and rosewood finishes, he surmised that a foundation of white makes an excellent canvas for the warm tones and textures to truly stand out.
