Soft Edges
BoConcept is bringing gentle curves and organic shapes to the dining room with its 2021 new products Kingston dining table and Princeton dining chair. Designed by Spain-based Danish designer Morten Georgsen, both the dining table and chair are liberated from hard edges and feature tapered and light legs, respectively, conveying a notion of a hygge home that embraces its inhabitants. And the best part? They’re beautiful and quite affordable.
BoConcept Kingston dining table retails for $1,695 and Princeton dining chair for $445, from BoConcept Singapore.
Textured Like Fabric
Nothing says comfort quite like the soft texture of fabrics. Spanish tile brand APE Ceramica has made that texture available as tiles with the new Habitat collection. The collection features two fabric textures: linen-like Habitat and woven wool-like Habitat Pocket, which has four and two colourways, respectively. The collection is suitable for both bathroom and kitchen use.
Habitat tile collection retails from $5.50 to $5.80 psf from Hafary. Visit Hafary to find out the full range available in Singapore.
