Smoke by Shou Sugi Ban Gallery
Adopting the Japanese ‘shou sugi ban’ woodworking technique, Smoke’s designers create furniture by charring the wood, resulting in a natural black dye that accentuates the texture of the material. Each of their pieces is entirely unique and handmade with selected wood for an inimitable look. Smoke Signature, one of their three shops, is located in the Esplanade building and houses a selection of their most striking furniture. Alongside retro chairs with a contemporary twist and their signature charred coffee table, they stock spacey clothes by local designers. If you’re around the area and looking for a place to wind down, they also sell their own, handmade coffee in a cosy cafe space that combines vintage and neon designs for a truly one-of-a-kind experience.

Peng Handcrafted
Peng Handcrafted is known for statement wooden furniture featuring pipes. The creator, Peng, was originally inspired to craft this industrial-inspired style of furniture when he was making a housewarming present for his friend. After more and more people asked him for similar pieces, he opened his shop. He uses pipes as table legs, structures for bookshelves, and even entire lamps. To cater to people who find pipes a tad too industrial, he launched ‘OAK’, a series of introductory pieces that can be purchased from his online shop. If you want something a little out of the ordinary to make a statement in your home, Peng’s creations are sure to get the job done.

Roger&Sons
Roger&Sons is a family business, run by three brothers. They love to experiment with new materials and ideas, and pride themselves in the functionality of their products, made to last while still looking amazing in any home. From elegant liquor cabinets to hipster-style wooden headphones, the eclectic mix of high-quality, hand-crafted items in their shop does not disappoint. Roger&Sons also kickstarted the Local Tree Project, which aims to use trees that have been felled locally for urban development, as opposed to importing new materials. This is not only environmentally friendly, but it will ensure that your furniture is hand-crafted in Singapore by Singaporeans, and made with trees that were once part of the local landscape.
