A love for all things 'ugly'

CREATIVE director Ken Tan declares: "I don't like beautiful things. I like things that no one would like." Yet, his home, while not to everyone's taste, is well put together.

Home for Mr Tan and his wife, Jennifer Banse, is a two-bedroom, walk-up apartment off Upper Thomson Road.

"Jennifer has a knack for finding places like this," says Mr Tan, who is also a partner at furniture retailer Supplies & Company. "I'm hesitant about moving to a new place, but I liked the split level in the apartment as it reminded me of my childhood."
