Living & Lifestyle – Getting Your Home Party-Ready!
Christmas is a time for getting together. For those of you who have made much effort planning the perfect Christmas dinner party for family and friends, remember that décor is as important as delicious food and free-flowing drinks, for setting the mood and creating the right ambience. Whether you are looking to treat your guests to a new set of beautiful tableware or using the occasion to invest in designer furniture, Mandarin Gallery’s premium collection of homewares and décor stores will have you spoilt for choice.
Danish Designer Homeware
Good conversation is central to any successful party. A piece of quality designer furniture not only makes excellent conversation fodder but is also a worthy investment for the home. Danish designers, Hans J Wegner and Jørgen Møller are both renowned for their mid-20th century works. Selected designs from Wegner’s famous series of chairs, including the Chinese Chair (SGD10,100), is now on sale at Platform. While browsing the store, you may also be tempted to pick up the beautiful spice mills set (SGD230 to SGD290) from Jørgen Møller – passing the salt and pepper has never been so enjoyable.
