Foundry was founded on the premise that good design is never an end in itself; it grants us something more - a lifestyle, an inspiration, an approach to living well. Based in Singapore, Foundry's outlook is broad, contemporary, and global; yet our roots remain deeply anchored in local traditions and time-honoured values. In a crowded market with overwhelming choices, we look towards designs that
tell a story, the work of the hands, or that touch of timelessness. They should be functional and built to last. These objects, besides observing fundamental design values such as simplicity and quality, also provide something more than function to our living, working and play spaces. They are not merely tools for use but pieces to perk up the quality of life. With this guiding philosophy, we design interiors and products, create and produce items, and curate an assortment of lighting and furniture sold through the store. These are the values that hold dear to us:
1) The pursuit of excellence and an appreciation for craftwork underlie all that we do at Foundry.
2) We look to simplicity, timelessness and on finding the essence of a design object.
3) We also let the natural beauty of materials shine in today's overwrought world.
4) We believe in design but also in the art of making. We care about our methods as much as our products. Whether inside our designers’ studios or our factories, whether the process involves modern tools or the hands of an artisan, we work meticulously at every stage of production towards excellence.
5) Our products should stand the test of time. It should age well and passed on to the next generation.
