Tanchen Studio: Woven artistry
Singaporean Sanchia Tan and Nanjing-born Amber Chen met at Central Saint Martins in London where they studied textile design and weaving.

Beaded placemats and colourful coasters, handwoven by a small village of female weavers in China, are also playful additions to any table setting.
