In the lead-up to the Tatler Homes Design Awards 2026, Tatler Homes Singapore gathered the city’s most promising spatial designers for an evening of discovery at Hafary House, where showroom tours, personalised keepsakes and a long-awaited announcement set the tone for the season ahead
Last Thursday, Hafary House once again became the beating heart of Singapore’s design world, as the city’s most promising spatial designers convened at the celebrated showroom for an evening of discovery, community and quiet excitement.
The night opened with a welcome address by Tatler Homes Singapore editor Asih Jenie, who delivered what proved to be the evening’s most anticipated announcement: the return of the coveted Spatial Design Studios on the Rise category at the upcoming Tatler Homes Design Awards 2026. The revelation carried an added frisson of excitement—every guest in attendance was already in contention for the honour.
This year, to honour the 10th year of the Tatler Homes Design Awards, the category spotlights emerging spatial design studios—encompassing architects, interior designers and built environment practitioners that have been established in Singapore 10 years or less—whose work is quietly reshaping the way we inhabit space. Three winners will be unveiled on June 11 at Grand Hyatt Singapore at the gala, one of the season’s most anticipated evenings on the cultural calendar.

A short and sweet speech and toast was led by Hafary Group director Eric Low, whose warmth set the tone for what followed: an intimate, guided journey through the expansive Hafary House showroom, with guests divided into three groups to explore three carefully curated showcases: Wood Culture, the Stone Collection and Hafary Bathroom.

In the Stone Collection, a Hafary representative walked guests through the brand’s extensive portfolio of natural stone, inviting hands-on exploration of surfaces that ranged from the dramatically veined to the quietly refined.

The Hafary Bathroom showcase, bolstered by a newly extended section, offered an elegant introduction to the celebrated Italian brand Zucchetti alongside Hafary’s own in-house line, Klopfen, where form and function converge with studied precision.

At the Wood Culture showcase, guests were guided through the Hafary subsidiary’s considered edit of pieces spanning clay and wood, each one a meditation on material and craft.
Beyond the collections themselves, the evening offered something rarer: genuine dialogue. The immersive format prompted unhurried conversations about how Hafary bridges interior design and creative functionality, and what that means for the spaces being conceived and built today.

A grazing table, artfully composed within the showroom’s Stone Collection kitchen, provided a fitting counterpoint to the evening’s aesthetic rigour. Guests helped themselves to bite-sized beef rendang on toast, lobster tuilles, truffle angel hair pasta and a refined tuna salad featuring akami tataki and chu-toro. A trio of vibrant hummus, artisanal cheeses and a considered charcuterie selection lent the spread both colour and conviviality.

A final touch came courtesy of Bynd Artisan, whose dedicated booth offered each guest a bespoke notebook bearing the floorplan of Hafary House itself—a keepsake as considered as the evening that surrounded it—and completed with personalised foil pressing.
As the night drew to a close, guests lingered, exploring the showroom at their own pace and falling into the kind of easy conversation that only a well-curated gathering can inspire.
