If you enjoy trawling around Great World City, then you’ve no
doubt stumbled across
Lifestorey
, and it’s really worth visiting
the huge Lifestorey showroom on Tai Seng Street to view a
much wider choice of products.
“We source from all over the world and have a very good
mix from Europe, including fromDenmark, Italy and Germany;
we also feature local designers,” says business development
manager
Lawrence Yong
.
“We currently have a very versatile Danish collection called
Muuto – New Nordic. You can stack its individual cubby
shelves any way you like. Because they’re modular, you can
keep adding to or taking away from your structure, depending
on the size of your space.”
Lawrence uses the Flynt brand in the store’s current
collection as another example of great display furniture. Now
manufactured in Indonesia using tropical wood (after the French
company realised its wood wasn’t holding up in our humid
climate), the furniture has a raw, industrial look, and is finished
with old-fashioned fridge handles on the doors of its consoles.
“The tricks I use to highlight the accessories in our store
are mainly to do with colour,” says Lawrence. “When we place
accessories on a shelf, we try to use something large as a
focal point, with smaller things surrounding it. If you have a
lot of white, put bold pieces in between. Similarly, if you have
bright walls or a brightly coloured shelving unit, you should
display accessories with muted colours, otherwise they will
be clashing all over the place.”
