On the move
Chai’s Classic Home Collection is moving to the Tan Boon Liat Building. To celebrate, the store is giving away 75 sets of Christmas lanterns (valued at $150 each) to EL readers. To get your hands on a pair of these stunning handmade wooden and glass lanterns, just be one of the first to visit the new store from 6 December. It’s a perfect way to add Christmas cheer and festive light to your home or outdoor area – simply add an LED light or a real candle to create a warm and inviting Christmas feel.
Store founder Chai Mengyin raved to EL about her new location: “We can’t wait to showcase our new collection of beautiful furniture and home décor accessories in our brighter, larger premises in a prime location. It’s the right time to expand our collection with even more high-quality, timeless and reasonably priced items.”
The lanterns will be given away on a first-come-first-served basis from 6 December at Chai’s new store at #06-04 Tan Boon Liat Building. You can also view products and order online at chaiscollection.com.

The China Collection team spent the summer completely renovating a two-storey pre-war Peranakan shophouse, and the doors have just opened. Pop in and see them at 252 Joo Chiat Road – you can’t miss the stunning Instagram-worthy blue-and-white building. For opening hours and new shipment details, visit facebook.com/ChinaCollection.
Wonder Walls
Altfield Interiors has relaunched its classic grass-cloth wall covering, created in collaboration with UK-based interior designer Amelia Carter. The Designer’s Palette is a fresh take on one of Altfield’s bestselling products, presenting 15 new contemporary colour ways. With pretty pastels and vibrant jewel tones, each one can be used as a design staple in any room and will introduce a bit of nature and texture. The beautiful panelling effect suits both classic and contemporary homes, adding a touch of luxury to any scheme. This new collection is now available at Altfield Interiors, #07-10 Central Mall Office Tower, 1 Magazine Road.
