About the Kenduri series by Studio Hafi

Kenduri (Banquet) is inspired by the warmth of going to your grandparent’s house, known affectionately to designer Hafizah (Hafi) as “rumah nenek”. Kenduri combines elements that map memories of communal eating, home-cooked meals and conversations shared between an intergenerational family.

The only way to accommodate a huge family whenever Hafi turned up at rumah nenek was to move the furniture in the modest flat aside and get everyone to eat together, children and adults alike, comfortably on the floor. Nenek would serve her delicious lauk-pauk (dishes) on multiple plates spread out on the tikar (woven floor mats).

Hafi wants the rugs to tell her family’s story and represent the warmth of Malay hospitality. Most importantly, she wants them to hold the memories of the time she spent with her grandparents.

About Floorish by Journey East

Floorish, a new design concept by Journey East, weaves the vibrant perspectives of three Singapore design studios into Persian rugs.

Curated by Creative Director Rafiq Mohamad of branding and design agency Feral, Floorish reimagines the familiar sights, smells and tastes of Singapore through the nostalgic lens and thoughtful rigour of two homegrown design studios (Studio Hafi and Studio Ensemble), combined with the uplifting philosophical reflections of Studio Grain.
