DESIGNER - GABRIEL TAN
Gabriel Tan creations for brands like Japan’s Ariake and Sweden’s Blå Station have been getting a lot of attention. Although he is based in Singapore, his works are profoundly cosmopolitan – inspired by trips to other parts of the world, conversations and collaborations with other designers, and encounters with an array of cultures and craft traditions. Sahara is a case in point.
