Lifestyle and magazine brand, Monocle, picks Chip Bee Gardens in the Holland Village neighbourhood for its first Singaporean flagship. This small two-storey black-and-white colonial terrace houses a retail nook on the ground, and a Monocle 24 radio outpost and small local bureau on its second floor. Stocked on its shelves are the magazine brand's products, designed in house by the Monocle design team, and in collaboration with indie makers like Labour and Wait, Oyuna, Walnut Studiolo and Drake's.
A small cafe within the space brews Allpress coffee from New Zealand to savour with Monocle's publication in-store and in a tiny garden space outdoors.
