Calling all aspiring designers out there – it’s time to turn your dreams into reality. The D’star Design Award is in its third run this year, with the theme “Mind to Market”. Originally used as a showcase platform for budding student designers, the Star Furniture Group has expanded the scope to include anyone with a passion for furniture design. Six finalists will stand to win the grand prize of a $3,000 cash prize and a trip to the Milan Furniture Fair 2018. The grand winner of the 2015 D’star Design Award, Nigel Geh, even had a chance to manufacture and sell his Bob vanity mirror.
The submission deadline for round one is on May 7. More details can be found at www.fb.com/DStarDesignAward.
Easy Assembly.
If you like rearranging your furniture every now and then, why not consider getting a sofa that lets you reconfigure the layout whenever you desire? The Puzzle sofa by Nicoletti Home can be assembled in multiple ways to suit any occasion. Much like how you would fix a puzzle, each piece of the sofa can be fitted together for a different look. Made using only quality materials such as cotton, linen, viscose and Alcantara, Nicoletti Home ensures users of its products’ resistance to wear and tear. Even the sofa’s feet are made of wood or metal with the most suitable design to ensure the best aesthetic and functional results.
The Puzzle sofa is available at XZQT Home, #01-05, 8 Pandan Crescent, for $10,988.
Tailored Tiling.
Tiles play a very important role when it comes to designing a space, so choosing the perfect designs for your home is essential. Atlas Concorde’s latest collection, Room, is inspired by textiles.

The Room tiles are available in geometric shapes and four colours to suit any room.
Prices for Room tiles are available upon request at Ricelab, #01-03, 213 Henderson Road. Call 6692-1199 for more information.
