Tatler Homes Singapore

And so here we are, in the final month of 2025. This December issue marks the closing chapter of Tatler Homes Singapore’s 20th-anniversary celebrations—an occasion that also coincided with Singapore’s 60th year. It feels fitting, then, that this edition is a special one, commemorated with a double cover. On one side, we present a beautiful Good Class Bungalow by Quarters Architects and Hall Interiors, home to a passionate furniture collector (page 76). Flip the magazine and you’ll find another cover, introducing a project chosen from our 20 Selections—a curated ensemble of standout spaces to inspire your own abode for renewal. It’s a book within a book, if you will. Even as this issue takes stock of a milestone year, it still carries the quiet joy of the season. Discover the…

VANISHING ACT Gaggenau, a brand trusted for its professional-grade home appliances, introduced the innovative Essential Induction cooktop earlier in November. The cooktop seamlessly blends into the kitchen’s worktop, crafted from Dekton by Cosentino. The induction cooktop is distilled to its essentials: LED dots indicating the position and temperature of each hob, an undisturbed worktop, and tactile knobs. gaggenau.comcosentino.com HAT TRICK Homegrown designer Gabriel Tan, recently named Designer of the Year by Louis Poulsen, is the brains behind the sculptural Rumee portable lamp.

In Dior Maison’s Ranelagh collection, creative director Cordelia de Castellane channels the dreamlike beauty of Christian Dior’s former Parisian home in the Ranelagh district, where a fresco in his winter garden inspired this lyrical ode to nature. Evoking the couturier’s cherished childhood walks through blooming gardens, the collection unfolds as a ballet of colour and craftsmanship. Vivid botanical motifs hand-painted on glass express the privilege of enjoying fresh flowers inside glass-encased hothouses in winter, while the same motifs rendered in wool, cashmere and bronze recall festive times. At once refined and romantic, the Ranelagh collection brings the maison’s couture spirit into the home through textures and hues that celebrate the art of living. TACTILE ELEGANCE Woven from the finest wool and cashmere, the Ranelagh jacquard cushions and throw are the…
