Now the site is online, I can go back to my usual posts ! Back on october 18th (read first post here), in Singapore, still guided by Yong, designer behind Somewhere Else. After visiting The gentlemen press letterpress and design studio, and have a nice lunch with the team, Yong bring us to a very nice street full of great shops : Yong Siak Street
Book Actually
We start with the amazing Books Actually, I could live in this shop ! As it said on front, it is a bookstore and a vintage bric-a-brac !!! Books and vintage objects everywhere !!! A must see !
Strangelets
Just at the side of it, is another designers shop, where I can get my fields notes books as I miss some: Stangelets. I also get a copy of the Singapore design magazine The design society journal there.
BUREAU FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF LIFESTYLE AND LONGEVITY AND SUCCESS
After these 2 shops, when went to visit Bureau, a creative studio... Graphic designers, but they also do a great line of furnitures...
We then enjoy a nice coffee... Thanks a lot Yong for this great day.
