If Your Landlord Increases Your Rent, Do This

From Truth or Dare to an Art Trip

28 October 2025 5 min read From Truth or Dare to an Art Trip About a month ago, when I launched the exhibition Herbs Malaya, something felt slightly off. It was all there, but my team wasn’t.

We don't do ordinary

Not all stories are ordinary, and that is exactly the point.

Design

Sharp & bright.

There’s a moment right now where everything feels a little tighter, a little sharper. You can ignore it, or you can meet it properly. We prefer the second.

We Don’t Do Ordinary. And Neither Do They. Now Available Online.

There’s a quiet strength there. Not loud, not dramatic. Just acceptance.
Life gives you what it gives you. Anger doesn’t change it. Fighting it doesn’t fix it. At some point, you learn to work with it, not against it.

Design

Change your underwear. Change your tablecloth.

There are certain habits we don’t question. You change your underwear every day. You don’t wake up and think, should I skip today? You just do it. And yet, somehow, the tablecloth has been treated like a once-a-year guest appearance.

Travel

Inspiration starts before the journey begins

In the past few months, we have quietly arrived in three places at once. With stores now at TANGS Orchard, Tanglin Mall and Great World, Nala has taken on a new shape in Singapore.

Culture, Events

The Weekend Coffee Takes Over

Something happens when coffee people gather. There is a shared sense of intention you can feel immediately, in the way things are presented, in the way people dress, and in the quiet confidence of brands that know exactly what they are doing.

Kuih with a message

We have just released a series of new art prints, and they are really special.

Vol.15  カラフルさの持つ意味と効果

日本で過ごしていると、
どこか落ち着いた色や、控えめなトーンを選ぶことが多い気がします。

でも、南国に来ると不思議と気分が変わる。
少し明るい色を選びたくなったり、
いつもより軽やかな自分でいたくなったり。

それはきっと、強い太陽の光や、
街の中にあるカラフルな景色に、
自然と気持ちが引っ張られているからなのかもしれません。
