Naiise.com, one of the fastest-growing online design retailers
in Singapore, will launch its fourth pop-up store, A Naiise Christmas Pop-Up, at 72-74
Dunlop Street, which will open from 15 November to 24 December 2014, 12-7pm daily.
Collaborating with leading lifestyle, design and food partners in the community, Naiise will
transform two shophouse units on Dunlop Street into a cosy space for the public to dine,
shop and personalise their own gifts this festive season.
Spanning 300 square metres, the pop-up store is located in two restored shophouses on
Dunlop Street, a bustling area on the fringe of Little India and poised for transformation as
more lifestyle businesses move in alongside existing traditional businesses. With the pop-up
store, Naiise hopes to draw more buzz to the area, ahead of the Little India MRT station
and Indian Heritage Centre slated to open in mid 2016 and early 2015 respectively.
Through the use of locally-sourced vintage and restored furniture by Re-Store Living,
Chinese art deco inspired home accessories and furniture by SCENE SHANG, and vintage
industrial teak furniture by Mountain Teak, Naiise aims to create a warm, modern-vintage
setting that complements its signature shophouse setting and charming neighbourhood.
Vivienne Soon, General Manager of Breezeway Development, which owns the two
shophouse spaces, says, ‘The architectural heritage and colourful chaos of Dunlop Street
is the perfect backdrop for an alternative festive experience. We are proud to continue
our support of homegrown designers, craftsmen and artists amidst the infectious energy
that is Dunlop Street.’
This pop-up edition by Naiise will feature F&B for the first time, with a third of its space
dedicated to that. Collaborating with leading restaurant food partners like The Cajun
Kings, Park Bench Deli, Kith, Burnt Ends and Morsels, A Naiise Christmas Pop-up store will
feature fresh menus headlined by one restaurant partner every week. A variety of food
products crafted by local artisan food makers will also be available throughout the week.
Also, The Cajun Kings will join forces with Burnt Ends for a special night of roasted hog
barbeque on 7 December, from 2 pm onwards, at the newly constructed open-air rooftop
between the two units. The pop-up store’s F&B operations will be supported by kitchen
specialist Mudian Crafted, with lightings designed by Zorse Plus One.
The other two-thirds of the pop-up store will be dedicated to retail and workshops.
Leveraging on its strong online retail platform, Naiise will be selling design products from
more than 150 independent designers from Singapore and around the world, making the
store a must-go destination to pick up unique Christmas gifts. Naiise, together with their
partners, will also conduct workshops, giving participants the opportunity to learn various
crafts and skills while creating unique DIY Christmas gifts.
Exclusive products and services, like fresh festive blooms by Poppy Floral Studio, vinyl
records and turntables by Retrophonic, as well as a personalised gift-wrapping service, will
be made available at A Naiise Christmas Pop-up store.
