In the first of a three-part series on local furniture firms championing their Asian roots, Jasmine Ng from Akar de Nissim shares with us how the brand produces pieces that marry exceptional craftsmanship with sleek designs
With their cross-cultural influences, well-crafted details and elegant proportions, these qualities have since become the signature elements of the furnishings from Singapore-based brand Akar de Nissim.
“The materialisation of our east-meets-west design concept came about nearly a decade ago, combining the distinct elements of Ming-style home pieces with European sensibilities,” says Jasmine Ng, the firm’s chief operating officer. “Our clients share the appreciation of having well-made pieces that exude a distinct design and bring a sense of lightness to the surroundings.”

Akar de Nissim’s stunning creations harness premium materials such as natural marble slabs and Tahitian mother-of-pearl shells. Each bespoke creation is forged with an assiduous attention to detail, as seen in bestselling pieces such as the Iris coffee table and the Pavillion lacquer box; some of these pieces are also currently displayed in Tatler House Singapore.
