Introducing beautiful art and homeware that celebrates our colourful culture.
-
Singapore is known for being a multicultural society, and one ramification of this is a unique cultural style that can be seen in the island's coloured porcelain, delicious food and striking architecture-all of which are represented in the gifts and products for the home available at Silk Walk in Tanglin Mall. We take a look at some highlights here.
Peranakan homeware
The Peranakans were some of Singapore's earliest settlers, and their descendants shared a mix of Chinese, Malay and Indonesian heritage. The result is an unsurprisingly vibrant culture epitomised in Silk Walk's specially curated collection of accessories for the home, which celebrate the rich legacy of Peranakan artistry.
