Drool: “The Fair” in Singapore

Written by on in Home decor

If you are planing a trip to Singapore, the first thing you must do is arrange your itinerary around one of Chumkie Banerji’s exhibitions. Called simply “The Fair” they feature a lavish collection of products and services bringing together a wide variety of buyers and sellers over a two-day period. They are organized every month at the Goodwood Park Hotel.

“The Fair” presents an array of exclusive gifts, fashion ensembles, home décor, beauty and health products, art, furniture, soft furnishings, carpets, jewelery, and a range of handcrafted, upmarket merchandise.

Here’s a selection of their products in the Home Decor section, likely to be exhibited in 2009.
