    IN SOME corporate offices in Singapore are framed paintings of Singapore - watercolour portraits of the old Fullerton Hotel in an asset management firm, and oil paintings of orchids in an accounting firm. Unusually, the pictures are painted by the boss of the interior design firm that renovated the offices. Eddy Lim, CEO of Chez Design, draws out the links between his work as an office interior designer and his hobby as an artist.

    "I believe in taking time to create masterpieces. This is what I like to do for my clients, going beyond what is expected of us," Mr Lim says. "In art, in painting, you have to do it properly to get a good result rather than rush everything. Similarly a design firm should go for quality, rather than volume. Every client is unique, and we want to serve each one well."

    Chez Design was founded by Mr Lim and several friends in 1986, and has been providing interior design services for corporates since day one. Over the last 29 years, the firm has built up its client base from a broad range of industries. It has established relationships with landlords, property agents, developers and vendors.
