It has been an amazing week! The cocktail of anxiety, excitement and "OMG I need a coffee" has pulled us through… We have Nested!
The soft opening went without any major glitches. Our cosy little corner at Antipodean is proudly adorned with beautiful objects that we have carefully selected from around the world. Amidst the frenzy of sourcing, setting up shop and the odd lethal paper cuts from unpacking, we are very excited to be able to present our first collection.
We want to thank everyone who dropped by to show their support at the soft opening. We hope you liked what you saw. A special mention to Tricia and her team of lovely assistants from Antipodean for being so helpful and patient.
Our philosophy at The Nest is pretty simple. To search the globe for pieces that we love and then bring them back home, to our Nest, one which we hope will inspire you to adopt.
The lifestyle idea grew organically as we are both drawn to anything beautiful, i.e., we love to shop! Inspiration was drawn from our travels and stints overseas where we often lament on the lack of interesting items in Singapore.
We consciously steer away from the usual mainstream, mass produced items. We have painstakingly hand-picked objects that are individual, fresh, functional and of course beautiful.
In the course of sourcing, we discovered our attraction to designers who have an interesting take on recycled or reusable items. Sustainability is our future and our efforts here are a gentle nod to green beauty.
It has been amazing to see what various artistes can conjure with their refreshing imagination and creativity. For instance, we are proud to introduce Joana Meroz from Netherlands, who collects chipped ceramics, and then give them a new lease of life by fusing the cracks with gold luster. Me and Amber, who screenprint their art onto old book pages, exuding a vintage aesthetic that is both beautiful and sustainable. TranSglass series utilises recycled glass bottles by transforming them into fluid glasswares with the aid of old world crafting techniques from Guatemala, creating jobs for the local artisans.
Oh! Did we mention that these products are here in Singapore for the first time?
In the next few days, we will be posting more information on the various products we have in store. In the meantime, here are a couple of images of our Nest.
