FORD&CHING and DWELL welcomed over 400 design pros and amateurs to the Kim Sing Theatre last Thursday to announce the new F&C website and new products from Skram, RS-Life, Samuel Moyer Furniture, and Andrew Riiska (FORD&CHING). Everyone seemed to love the food by celebrity chef Neal Fraser of Grace Restaurant, fully staffed bar by Izze (with help from Pearl Vodka) and beer from Nakhon. All photos courtesy of TIGERTIGER.

I found this site on google poking around for something completely unrelated, and now I’m gonna need to read the old material. Good bye my spare time this morning, but this was a really amazing find
