SOILBOY STORE
9 Sin Ming Rd #01-04, Singapore, 2021
A collaboration with Soilboy & Silo. It was our first major project as a 1 (and a half) man team, starting out on this woodworking adventure. We extend our heartfelt appreciation for the trust and support bestowed upon us.
In this project, we aimed to emphasize the importance of embracing greenery by creating a captivating space for plant enthusiasts.
One of the standout features of this project is the custom-sized table with a beautifully curved edge. This design element was specifically crafted to accommodate and showcase a variety of potted plant babies, creating a visually appealing and harmonious display.
Versatility was also a key consideration. The table serves a dual purpose, functioning both as a platform to display items and as a comfortable seating area. Additionally, it features a hidden storage space, allowing you to neatly stow away any belongings or gardening essentials, maintaining a clutter-free and organized environment.
We wholeheartedly believe that plants play a significant role in our lives, much like pets do. In a world where dogs are becoming the new kids, plants have emerged as the new pets.
By promoting the beauty and benefits of greenery, we hope to inspire more individuals to bring the joys of nature into their lives.

CHUN TSUBAKI
PROP SHELVES
3 Kim Chuan Lane, Singapore, 2022
Chuntsubaki is a boutique creative studio from Singapore specialising in the niche of food and lifestyle content. They work on creative projects for food photography and styling, design, marketing strategy and content development.
Chuntsubaki approached us to help them create shelves in their space to store their props for photography. They requested for both movable and wall mounted shelves that go up to 6m high.
We also used repurposed pinewood sections agglomerated together to form these grids of storage. It was intentional to keep the spaces regular for the aretefacts to be stored within, giving it a cleaner look.
To add a pop of colour to the space, we used laminates for cabinet doors beneath the sink.
EAST COAST COMMUNE
CUTLERY STATION
1000 ECP, #01-03, Marine Cove, Singapore, 2023
A spot of comfort by the beach, East Coast Commune is a beachside cafe that serves specialty coffee and pasties. With their thoughtfully designed interiors, our cutlery station was made to match their warm and cosy atmosphere. Marine Plywood was used for this as it is best suited to deal with moisture, especially in the outdoors of tropical Singapore.
It currently resides at the outdoor seating area where cutleries such as forks, knives, spoons and serviettes are stored in the drawers that are perfectly segmented. Items such as Menus, payment devices, even bins for dirty dishes can be accommodated, for easy access.
DIAGEO DISPLAY WALL
10 Collyer Quay, #20-01/04 Ocean Financial Centre, Singapore, 2022
Diageo is a major distributor of spirits and premium drinks. They have set up a headquarters right here in the heart of Singapore and we are honoured to have been part of the project in sprucing up their office space.
At the entrance, a display wall can be found. We used Birch Plywood for the facade and shelves, coupled with LED lights etched between the wood to give an elegant look.
Lined along the corridors that separate rooms and walkway are plywood display shelves. We also carefully aligned them along the subtle curves of the room.
BENJAMIN BARKER
FLAT-PACK CHANGING ROOM
For the Benjamin Barker Tailors Ascottage Trunkshow, we undertook the task of designing and constructing custom flat pack changing rooms. To ensure that the changing rooms seamlessly blended with the overall aesthetics, we incorporated wainscoting-inspired panel details into the tropical hardwood panels, adding a touch of elegance and charm.
To enhance the structural integrity of the flat pack changing rooms, we integrated curtain rods and wall-mounted shelves that served as lateral bracing for the framework. This design choice not only provided stability but also maximized the functionality of the space.
In order to make the assembly and disassembly process convenient, we ingeniously integrated the only tool required directly into the curtain rod holder. This thoughtful addition ensures that you'll always have the necessary tool at hand whenever you need it, simplifying the setup and dismantling of the changing rooms.
Our aim was to create custom changing rooms that not only aligned with Benjamin Barker Tailors' brand aesthetic but also offered practicality and ease of use for their trunk show event, allowing visitors to enjoy a seamless and efficient shopping experience.
POPPY UP PLANTER
BOX
A versatile and convenient solution for gardening enthusiasts. This unique planter box is designed to be quickly assembled, and its greatest feature is its ability to be flat packed for easy storage. Crafted from sturdy birch plywood, the Poppy Up Planter Box showcases a combination of durability and aesthetic appeal.
To ensure a seamless assembly process, we employed the efficient @intelligentfixings Peanut system. This system allows for secure and effortless connections, resulting in a sturdy and reliable structure for the planter box. Whether you have limited space or simply prefer the flexibility of a collapsible design, the Poppy Up Planter Box is the perfect choice for avid gardeners seeking a practical and space-saving gardening solution.
YAKISUGI TABLES
For 51Tras | 51 Tras St, Singapore, 2022
We had the opportunity to work on a Café project for 51tras. Collaborating with SILO Studio again, who sought assistance in creating dark/black wooden tables. Inspired by the captivating technique of #yakisugi, we decided to utilize Torched Plywood and Stained Plywood.
We were intrigued by the artistry of Yakisugi, and it was serendipitous that SILO approached us at the perfect time. To meet their requirements for dark tables, we embarked on crafting torched wood pieces that not only exhibit stunning colors but also provide excellent water resistance.
