Young artisans offering bespoke woodwork

WE live in an age where everything is mass produced by machines, with handmade furniture sounding like something from a forgotten, analog era. But a group of local woodcrafters are out to change that - pouring their time, heart and soul into creating pieces that have meaning for them and which will last for decades. In tomorrow's BTLifestyle, we meet a group of young furniture makers who are working to keep the art of handmade woodcraft alive. With a growing number of consumers who appreciate artisanal craft, these woodworkers are able to turn their passion into a sustainable business, creating a cottage industry of bespoke furniture in the process.

Speaking of homegrown, we also meet Simone Ng, founder and creative director of her much-lauded namesake jewellery brand, the first Singapore brand to be showcased at Harrods in London. We take a look at her stunning creations inspired by chapters of history from the Georgian era to the life and times of actress Hedy Lamarr.

Meanwhile, if you're planning a weekend "getaway", check in at Raffles Singapore, which has become the site of a detective game designed to attract and intrigue staycationers. And if you want to take a quick trip to Spain, grab some tasty bites at the new restaurant, Kulto.
