Boutiques Singapore is back with yet another edition of their Boutique Fairs, this time bringing together 300 designers from 22th-24th November in the F1 Pit Building. Featuring everything from handbags and apparel to scents and candles, the fair is a veritable treasure trove of artisanal products you won’t see at big brand stores
There’s a bunch of cool furniture pieces too, and so here’s a list of 7 furniture and decor finds to look out for when trawling through the mindboggling rows of stalls there.

Aa Furniture is defined by a mix of unique ideas, and items inspired by both Japanese and Southeast Asian culture. Their range is diverse, consisting of one-offs like the book facade table-and-chair set, to the traditionally made Japanese porcelain, and even these nifty little diffusers fashioned out of leather.

If you ever wanted your home to smell like the inside of a patisserie, then Bui Bui Candles’ stall would be the one beeline for. Born from a love of candles and sweet treats, they make fun-lifelike candles that look just as tasty as they smell.
Easily used both for their scent or as a cheeky decor piece that will have anyone drooling, some highlights to not miss out on during the sale include their Mille-Feuille Candle, Assorted Donut Candles and Bread & Viennoiserie Candles.
3. Carl Hansen & Søn—Danish furniture store with over a 100 years of history

Starting in 1908, Carl Hansen & Søn is about as close as you can get to authentic scandi design. Embodying the ethos of practical simplicity, the furniture store focuses on preserving what they call the Danish Modern style in all its pieces.

Arthur Zaaro is an artisan furniture store that deliberately uses local timber harvested from the daily trimming of the country’s plentiful trees. They claim that, with some trees being as old as Singapore itself, they’ve managed to get quality hardwood this way.

They also do handmade Peranakan tile tables. Besides just looking pretty, these tables bear all of the traits that will make them just as good for indoor use as they do out in a patio, with UV and water resistance as well as being resilient to the corrosive effects of sea water.
6. ChomCharm—Porcelain specialty store that uses Kaolin clay

A designer furniture brand that has a sizable following in Singapore, Eden Living announced that for Boutique Fairs Singapore 2024, they’re bringing back favourites like the Chestnut Lamp and Christmas Tree Lamp. Some might want to be quick on the draw for the Christmas Tree Lamp especially, since it sold out in a single day during last year’s fair.
Additionally, the event will be graced by the launch of their new Champagne Lamp.

The Boutique Fairs Singapore 2024 will last from this Friday through Sunday, and entry will only require one $6 ticket for unlimited entry across all 3 days. With the sheer amount of brands that will be on display, you’d probably want to schedule more than a day to get through all of the stalls.
And with the holidays around the corner, perhaps you can consider snagging a Christmas gift or two as well.
