Notes From The Team At Naiise.

Naiise speaks to the team behind our favourite local leather crafters JConcetto. Here's what the passionate duo have to say about their craft, brand and design philosophy!

Don't just tantalise your guests' appetite, create a visual feast for their eyes as well. We invited pâtissière and food photography and styling enthusiast Eng Natalie to curate a collection of gorgeous handmade porcelain plates, vibrant shades and whimsical food styling preps like a delicate honey dipper.

We also took the chance to chat with Natalie and gathered her thoughts on design, originality, creativity and what it takes to be truly unique in an increasingly competitive scene! 

If you share a home with a minimalist, you'll understand well his or her needs for ultra clean, simple yet beautifully functional items that speak volumes without shouting it out loud.

This V Day, feed their minimalist tendencies with lifestyle blogger WickeRmoss' curation of gifts for minimalists. We also speak to her about her favourite designers and favourite gifts for the season.

You won't always understand them fully, but you love them unconditionally anyway. Express your love to that unique, free-spirited, wild at heart creative, one-of-a-kind soul in your life with these gift ideas curated by Linda Hao.

Hailing from Shanghai, Linda is a DJ, fashion designer, model and blogger who runs her own clothing label, YESAH. We chat with her to find out more about Linda, her creative pursuits, her favourite artsy picks from Naiise, and design that inspires her daily.

Skip the diamonds and chocolate and get creative with gifts that won't mean taking a second mortgage this Valentine's Day. Looking for some geeky but sweet ideas for that special fanboy / music geek / gamer / hacker / gadget guy or girl in your life? Look no further than Seriously Sarah's curation of gift ideas for your geeky other half. An accomplished writer, designer and ukelele player in her own right, she's certainly got some geek chic cred.

Here's what Sarah has to say about herself, her thoughts on Vday and design.

New year brings new beginnings, and this year, Naiise was invited by Edible Gardens to run the retail front of their event, Nong Pop Up Store. The Edible Gardens project is co-founded by Bjorn and Rob, whom we are really honored to have met, partnered with and are working beside everyday in this really exciting and interesting endeavour. 

What they do is simply inspiring. Apart from growing edible gardens that you can actually eat from, they are a team trying to create a sustainable and more eco-conscious society. Their efforts to educate and help others grow their own food stem from their belief that it can help us get closer to nature. There is a large effort in what they do to better everyday living.
