Designer Gabriel Tan on Reviving Handmade Crafts Share
Singapore and Portugal-based designer Gabriel Tan sits down with us to talk about the handmade revival, craft and clarity, and how cultural exchange sparks inspiration.
Beautiful interior objects have become more vital pleasures this past year. As we’re at home more often, we want our environments to inspire, soothe and delight. A recent trend towards the handmade is one part design humanism and one part high-tech fatigue. And during a pandemic, it’s all part of the slow-living zeitgeist gaining traction even in the world’s fastest cities.
Currently doing the job are the hand-polished quarry bowls made from three segments of Portuguese marble, textured salt vases in colbalt blue or earthy orange, tall conical jugs or the wonderfully shaped charred clay vases – all items from Origin, a brand of handcrafted, collectable objects by Portuguese artisans and international designers.
