wohabeing

wohabeing is a design brand launched in September 2017 at Maison & Objet Paris by WOHA, the Singapore-based architectural practice founded by Wong Mun Summ and Richard Hassell.

While wohabeing is a young brand, WOHA have been designing interior objects for over 20 years, in the context of their architectural projects. Some pieces from their collections evolved from WOHA projects such as the acclaimed Alila Villas Uluwatu in Bali, Indonesia. The Oli, Sampan, Diaspora and Corak Collections feature new designs fully developed under wohabeing.

wohabeing works with collaborators with excellent social and environmental sustainability credentials and superb craftsmanship, such as Wewood of Portugal on the Ulu Indoor and Bintan Collections (furniture, lighting), WonderGlass of London on the Oli Collection (lighting), and fellow Singaporean partners Industry+ on the Ulu Outdoor Collection (outdoor furniture), Luzerne on the Diaspora Collection (tableware), apaiser on the Sampan Collection (bathware) and The Rug Maker on the Corak Collection (rugs).

wohabeing searches for a precarious balance – a perfect combination of the imperfect, a tension in the line of beauty. For them, this knife-edge – this tightrope act – is where elegance lies.
