One of the fastest-growing furniture brands in the Asian region with an ever-expanding list of permanent showrooms in cities across the region, Fritz Hansen recognised TBL’s importance as the place in Singapore to get furniture, and joined the TBL family this year by opening the Fritz Hansen Lounge. 

Designed by Jaime Hayon, The Fritz Hansen Lounge, located on the thirteenth floor, will be the host of our closing party. And if anyone knows how to throw a fabulous party, it’s Fritz Hansen! And leading up to the party, the Lounge will present a multi-sensory experience with installations, Ikebana workshop, talks and other activities you will not find on your regular Saturday!
