Adelene Koh - Dddots

Adelene Koh, one of the few, if not the only, local hand bookbinders in Singapore. In her words, “Making books is an art. Nothing beats holding a book in your hand, feeling its cover, turning its pages and even smelling the paper. When you write or draw into a journal, it is forever and leaves your touch in it. When you have a book that is handmade, you know that you are holding something that is made, with heart and soul, by a bookbinder.”

Mun Foong, A.K.A Wayward

Originally trained as a graphic designer and having worked in advertising for a number of years, Mun Foong's story is one about childhood interests - cutting up living room curtains to make cloths - to switching careers to follow a passion, even if it means having to teach herself all the skills needed, right from scratch.

Michelle Yu, The Gentlemen’s Press

Young, impulsive and stupid - these are words Michelle Yu uses to describe how her heart lead her to letterpress.

Nylon Coffee Roasters

We had the lovely opportunity to chat with Dennis & Jiamin, owners of Nylon Coffee Roasters. Their passion and love for coffee gave birth to their nice little 'coffeeshop' (as they both call it), right in the quaint residential neighbourhood of Everton Park. Don't be fooled by the small seating area of this little 'hole-in-the-wall' coffeeshop. Nylon Coffee Roasters source, roast (in-house) and serve their own coffee bean blends with love.
