#lullyslist | Dream with LS: Ocean G.

Our third and last dreamer for this season is Ocean G. She is a graphic designer who enjoys painting with ink (me too)! We were both inspired by Wu Guanzhong who has Western and Eastern influences in his Chinese painting. You can see his works here.  Fun fact: Ocean's father won the bid to construct our Wisma Geylang!  It's only natural that her likings for architecture was the main inspiration for the Pinnacle shawl. Ocean painted one of her favourite sightings of these building with cranes. The linear structure of Pinnacle Journey and diagonal lines of the cranes was achieved by printing lines.

Now, it's trending in tableware and interior designers incorporate them in commercial spaces.  Terrazzo sculptural platter by studio Mignone used to display Katherine Sabbath's cake.   Have you seen the new Love Bonito outlet at Funan?   So pretty right?

#selbsseries | 4 learning points on our 4th birthday

Salam Ladies,It’s the first day of Ramadhan, and I’m feeling so so drained. Weather was hot and I really couldn’t get much work done let alone try do some ibadah. I was supposed to write a blog last week about our HYPE Raya collective but time wasn’t kind to me. Post event, I was really burnt out till me and Huda even forgot that a few days ago we turned 4. Yes, 4 years of pure dedication, hard work, tears of joy and  frustration. I cannot believe I’ve been running Lully Selb for that long. How do I feel about this? To be honest; it’s a mix of satisfaction, extreme TIREDNESS, a bit of disbelieve and more of..... what’s next.. Typically, during...
