Tatler Homes Singapore October 2025

We’ve come to the penultimate edition of Tatler Homes Singapore in 2025. Traditionally, our October issue is dedicated to art and craftsmanship, but as we compiled these pages, a golden thread stitched this tapestry of content together: collaboration. After all, a space we inhabit, a home especially, is never solely the work of one person. From architect to artisan, designer to craftsman, every project featured in this issue tells the story of partnerships that shape beauty and function. Read how some of Singapore’s leading studios join forces in our feature on collaborative practice (page 60). Still in celebration of the magazine’s 20th anniversary, marked alongside SG60, we also ask 20 creatives, many of them duos steering their own design businesses, what defines their craft as distinctly Singaporean (page 50). Speaking…

For nearly 150 years, French crystal maison Daum has redefined glass artistry, transforming the material into sculptural masterpieces that transcend time. Its latest creation, Rêve Équestre, pays homage to one of the brand’s most enduring muses: the horse. Crafted in luminous amber pâte de cristal, the collection brings the equestrian world into dialogue with art nouveau elegance. The limited-edition vases—in large, medium and small sizes—celebrate the horse’s timeless qualities of strength, grace and freedom. In 2025, Daum also partnered with Tatler Homes as the official trophy maker for the Tatler Homes Design Awards, highlighting its authoritative presence within Singapore’s design landscape. SCULPTED NOBILITY Since the 1960s, the horse has held a place of honour within Daum’s creative universe. In Rêve Équestre, this fascination is elevated to a triumphant ode to…

Colour has long been a defining element in interior design, yet for much of recent history it was pared back or excluded from the bathroom. Today, however, colour is making a confident return—and at the forefront of this revival is Villeroy & Boch. In 2025, it takes on a deeper, more personal resonance: as our homes increasingly serve as sanctuaries from the fast pace of modern life, colour becomes a tool for emotional balance, well-being and self-expression. Recognising this shift, Villeroy & Boch expands its acclaimed Artis collection of surface-mounted washbasins with a new palette of solid, matte finishes developed by German designer Gesa Hansen. Lush yet grounding, these hues transform the bathroom into a retreat that nurtures both style and serenity. The matte finish intensifies this effect, absorbing light…

ATELIER V&A Hidden within an industrial complex in Kaki Bukit, Atelier V&A defies its modest entrance and lift lobby to reveal a soaring, gallery-like space.

Within its double-height workshop, master artisans craft bespoke furniture under the Atelier One line, while the Vanda collection reimagines florals as sculptural arrangements.

Here, craftsmanship becomes theatre, and design is felt as much as it is seen. ateliervanda.com NATHAN HOME Set in a historical building near Seletar Airport, Nathan Home offers an intimate and deeply personal showroom experience.
