Lights, furniture, action! That’s what you can expect at the #TBLblockparty, happening on 24 and 25 November at Tan Boon Liat building, 10am to 6pm. This one-weekend-only event showcases design and furniture shops in the enclave coming together with mini markets, pop-ups, design talks, workshops and exclusive in-store deals at 35 showrooms across 15 floors.
Purchase anything from Arete Culture (pictured) during the party, and be entered into a lucky draw where you might win a massive luxury hamper worth over $5,000!
Tan Boon Liat Building is home to a variety of interior design-related stores that offer a myriad options, regardless of the interior style you’re seeking for your home. How about decorating your entrance foyer with these oriental-style sideboards and consoles from Emperor’s Attic? Enjoy complimentary wine and snacks all weekend when you are at Emperor’s Attic pop-up Christmas bazaar.
Have specific dimensions you need to abide by for your furniture items? Think about customising wood furniture affordably at Grey and Sanders. It offers a wide range of solid wood slabs, which can be cut to the exact size you need. Drop by during #TBLBlockParty and be the first to see Grey and Sander's new premium full-aniline leather and fabric sofas. You'll enjoy 20 per cent off your second item, too.
Of course, the secret to a cushy, comfy home is soft furnishings, like carpets and rugs. Hassan’s Carpets has got you covered in that respect, as you’ll be treated to an in-depth explanation on various weaving methods. Here, you can also pick up limited edition stockings made from handwoven vintage rugs or view "With Love, from Iran", an exhibition of museum-quality, rare Persian rugs.
Fill up on wine and cheese samples at The Providore or cool off with a craft beer from their pop-up bar and hot dog stand.
With a variety of brands carrying contemporary furnishings to wood furniture, Journey East offers a varied collection to meet the needs and preferences of homeowners. At the party, you can wander through three different design installations, admire 'This is TBL', a photography showcase of Tan Boon Liat and Tiong Bahru Life, and sip on free G&Ts while grooving to the beats of DJ Jeff-0 from 3-6pm.
Pop by Gamut, where you’ll find designer lights that not only illuminate spaces but can also serve as art pieces to admire! They will be launching a new lighting collection at #TBLblockparty and offering exclusive deals, too.
