We look back at the first-ever design fête by Singapore Tatler Homes.

What makes great design? It’s a question that’s always on the minds of creative types in the industry, in their never-ending quest to hone and perfect their craft. Although it’s impossible to quantify, good design often comes down to the human element—a feature that the award recipients at A Celebration of Design, Singapore Tatler Homes’ first signature event, certainly appreciate and understand.

Held at Foo'd by David Oldani, the fête drew design practitioners and enthusiasts, who gathered to wine, dine and honour the achievements of top talents in the local design scene. This year’s event was made possible through partnerships with Lladró, Carera Bathroom, De Dietrich, Lumas Gallery and Spin.

Over a delectable four-course meal, attendees delighted in the restaurant’s elegant ambience while discussing industry trends and all matters related to home interiors. Guests were also enthralled by the harmonic melodies played live on stage by a young harpist as they lauded the achievements of the night’s honourees, which included Design Intervention, Edmund Ng Architects, Elements ID Consultants, Design Basis, as well as Kri:et Associates and Splendor (both from The Mill design consortium).

A Celebration Of Design 2017 was held on February 28 at Foo'd by David Oldani.
