Held to mark the end of the Tatler Design Awards festivities this year, the closing cocktail event gathered industry leaders and design lovers to celebrate the achievements of the local design scene. It also provided guests an opportunity to explore the Neo-Tropical: Designing in the Time of Climate Change exhibition, a new initiative by Singapore Tatler Homes which ran from 2-25 February at the National Design Centre.

Designed in collaboration with local practice New Nyew, the exhibition centred around the idea of crafting a space that's adapted to its tropical surroundings, while featuring decor inspiration from brands including Bowers & Wilkins, Flexform, LG, Ode to Art, Pierre Frey, Spin, The Artling and The Rug Maker. Next to verdant accents that decorate the venue, a tailored menu was prepared by Tim's Catering, bespoke cocktails by Indigenious Bartender, and wines by Treasury Wine Estates brought the botanical theme to life, by drawing cues to the exhibition's green inspiration.
