SILVER AWARD

My Reading Room
The innovative freestanding vanity cupboard Dekauri, designed in collaboration with Italian furniture manufacturer Riva 1920, surface specialist Cosentino, and architect Daniel Germani, won the Silver Award in the Best Bath category during the 2018 Kitchen and Bath Industry Show in Orlando, Florida. This design solution combines aesthetics with function, and conceals the sink and storage, while being a flexible and durable piece that can be moved when required.

EASY, BREEZY

Stay cool with these ceiling fan maintenance tips from fan specialist Samaire.

When installing a ceiling fan, ensure a distance of around 2.3m between the fan and floor for optimal cooling effect.

Provide a 0.6m clearance from the tip of the blade to the corresponding wall (including L-Box and false ceiling).

Accumulation of dust causes your fan to slow down. Clean it periodically to prevent this problem.

Do not remove the balancing kit, that may have been installed onto the fan, during cleaning.

As You Wish

When it comes to challenging conventions, few designers can make heads turn as dramatically as the self-professed bad boy of the English design scene, Tom Dixon. Armed with an unorthodox approach to conventional design, Tom recently partnered with Swedish furniture giant Ikea to create a new form of customisable seating/lounging appointments for modern homes. At the core of the versatile Delaktig collection is a range of armchair, two- and three-seater platforms, which can be customised into various configurations. By moving backrests to your desired positions, along with the addition of optional elements, such as LED lamps and side tables, Delaktig can be adapted into any room layout. With prices starting from $469 for an armchair platform to $729 for a three-seater platform, it won’t cost you an arm and a leg to enjoy the liberty of putting together your own furniture designs.

Delaktig collection is a vailable atIkea Tampines and Alexandra. Find out more atikea.com/sg.
