In the lead-up to the Tatler Homes Design Awards 2025, Tatler Homes Singapore hosted an intimate evening at Hafary House featuring curated showroom tours, a vibrant grazing table, porcelain-themed lucky draw and the unveiling of a new special category celebrating rising spatial design studios

Last Wednesday, Hafary House came alive as Singapore’s design community gathered at the showroom to celebrate the next generation of spatial designers.

The evening began with a welcome speech by Tatler Homes Singapore editor Asih Jenie, who introduced a new category for the upcoming Tatler Homes Design Awards 2025:  Spatial Design Studio On The Rise.

This category is dedicated to honouring emerging spatial design studios, including architects, interior designers and other built environment practitioners that have been established for less than 10 years. Three winners will be announced at the prestigious Tatler Homes Design Awards 2025 gala on July 1.

Also hosting the built industry guests were Hafary Group’s director Eric Low and Zuccheti’s general manager Liz Yang, who flew down from Hong Kong for the occasion to introduce the Italian brand’s showcase inside the Hafary Bathroom, a new section debuted by the brand at the Hafary House.
