‘Together is the new normal’, says Arper in its 2017 campaign. Over three evenings, Stylecraft brought together 130 of Singapore’s designers for cosy dinners with the brand.

Decked out with tropical leaves and a special Arper installation, Stylecraft’s Singapore showroom became a home for cocktails, canapés, dinner and stunning design late last month. Teaming up with Arper, Stylecraft held a special designer dinner series over three nights. Indesignlive.sg was there among 130 of Singapore’s leading designers.
Andre Rosetto, Arper’s Export Area Manager for the Far East, was the special guest of the Stylecraft team. He shared insights about Arper’s Together collection and the brand’s 17-year relationship between Stylecraft – its exclusive distributor in Singapore and Australia.
‘Together’ was the theme of Arper’s stand at the Salone del Mobile in Milan this year. Said the brand of the theme at the time: “We are moving in an essentially collective world, where getting together applies to every moment of daily life thus creating new needs, demanding spaces to suit new situations, in the pursuit of peace and quiet, harmony and beauty, in the face of forward motion.”
The dinner series was a great opportunity to take time out and ‘get together’ with industry colleagues amid the busy schedules of that perpetual forward motion!
