Who We Are
Ardaesan is a Singapore-based curation project spotlighting independent makers and locally crafted fine goods — from ceramicists and perfumers to woodworkers, chocolatiers, and textile artists. Supported by a government grant, we’re building a thoughtful guide and visual archive that celebrates provenance, process, and the people preserving craft in a fast-moving world. Our current curation features artisans who have won international awards, received royal commissions, or represent firsts in Singapore’s contemporary craft landscape.
