If you know Naiise for its Scandi-style furniture and Pinterest-worthy homeware, you’ll be happy to note that its sixth and largest store at The Cathay is not only bigger, it is better. Nestled within the rows of product categories carrying more than 300 brands is an ever-evolving 8,500-square foot space that introduces new concepts and unique products to their legion of fans.
You are probably already familiar with Naiise’s curated selections of trendy furniture from its online repository. At their flagship store, you take a look at them – and perhaps try them out – in the flesh. You will find pieces from popular brands such as Snap Design Co, Scene Shang, Karpenter and Universo Positivo taking pride of place at the sprawling store. Design-savvy homeowners can look forward to a slew of new furniture decor showcases every now and then. These will definitely inspire you to browse, explore new home and decor ideas and lounge around. Feel free to test out the furniture unabashedly, because you won’t know what’s best for you until you try it for yourself!
Keeping to the brand’s philosophy of making good design accessible, the store located at the basement of The Cathay features a new “studio life” concept designed to not only showcase retail offerings but also a larger workshop space and a DIY corner. The aim of this is to inspire customers to pick up a skill or personalise a gift. With Naiise’s very first gift-wrapping station here, shoppers can easily add a bespoke touch to gifts with wrapping papers, ribbons, markers and adorable rubber stamps provided. This corner mimics after a creative studio complete with tools of the trade for you to interact and explore.
With brands like Pindemic, Pestle & Mortar, ninetyninestates and ActSeed & Co occupying their own positions on the floor, you will also be able to take your pick from trendy apparel to quirky stationery. There is also a section dedicated to Lamitak, a laminate maker that showcases a range of laminates suitable for various surfaces and products. If you drop by every two months, expect to see different pop-ups and installations too.
Of course, you will also find plenty of cool home decor accessories. From statement lamps to quirky children’s furniture, there’s something for all kinds of cool kids here.
