Meet Singapore's next generation of traditional craft makers - SilverKris
"A small, traditional rattan workshop run by Mr Chen and Mdm Lee that served as an on-the-job learning ground for a younger designer exploring the material. The shop represents the older wave of Singapore’s rattan trade — once booming between the 1960s and 1980s but later in decline — and houses dated furniture styles that nonetheless reveal high craftsmanship. It offers firsthand exposure to rattan techniques and local knowledge, and inspired experimental approaches that aim to push rattan beyond nostalgia and conventional furniture forms." - Soak Teng Woong
