In a season known for sparkle, indulgence, and over-the-top celebrations, two Singaporean brands are inviting us to take a more intentional route this Christmas. Homegrown furniture house Cellini and eco-conscious homeware label Base Piece have come together in a first-of-its-kind holiday collaboration—one that swaps excess for elegance and mass-market for meaning.
Their message is simple: Sustainability can be beautiful. And gifting can be both stylish and responsible.
Reimagining the Spirit of Giving
Every year, as the holiday lights go up, so does the pressure to find the perfect gift. But in 2024, more shoppers are asking harder questions—Where was this made? Will it last? Do they really need another throwaway item?
This growing awareness is exactly what inspired Cellini and Base Piece to join forces. Rather than add to the seasonal noise, their collaboration offers a calming counterpoint: thoughtfully designed, well-crafted pieces that elevate the everyday—and do so with the planet in mind.
The collaboration is hosted at Cellini’s flagship Centrepoint and Tan Boon Liat showrooms, where a curated collection of Base Piece’s sustainable homeware is available with an exclusive Purchase with Purchase (PWP) 20% discount. The items range from handcrafted ceramic vessels to recycled-glass drinkware—perfect for gifting or for dressing up your own dining table this festive season.
Two Brands, One Shared Purpose
Though they come from different corners of the home and lifestyle space, Base Piece and Cellini are remarkably aligned in their values.
Cellini, a fixture in Singapore’s design scene since 1986, has always prioritised craftsmanship, material integrity, and longevity. The brand is known for timeless furniture pieces that don’t chase trends—they set the tone for sophisticated, functional living. Their commitment to in-house design and manufacturing ensures every item is built to last, minimising waste and maximising value.
Base Piece, on the other hand, was born out of the dining experience. More than just a tableware brand, they believe in the quiet power of a shared meal. Their pieces—crafted from recycled clay and upcycled glass—are made to be touched, used, and loved. It’s not just about aesthetics; it’s about adding intention to every cup poured and every dish served.
Both brands are rooted in a deeper philosophy: that a home should be a space for connection, beauty, and sustainability.
Sustainable Gifting That Doesn’t Compromise on Style
What makes this collaboration stand out is how naturally the two brands' aesthetics complement each other.
Picture this: a sleek Cellini walnut dining table dressed with hand-thrown ceramic plates from Base Piece. Clean lines meet organic forms. Neutral palettes meet subtle texture. The look is elegant but grounded—ideal for modern urban homes looking to bring in a touch of nature and soul.
These aren’t just gifts; they’re keepsakes. Items that outlive the holiday season. Items that mean something.
From minimalist vases to artisanal glassware, each Base Piece object has a story behind it. The recycled clay used in their ceramics, for example, is collected from manufacturing offcuts and reshaped into new life. Their glassware uses upcycled bottles, melted down and hand-blown into fresh forms. It’s designed with a conscience—and it doesn’t cut corners on quality.
By showcasing these pieces within Cellini’s immersive showroom settings, shoppers can see exactly how they’ll fit into a real home. Not just under a Christmas tree, but on a coffee table, in a kitchen, or as a centrepiece to a meal.
Why It Matters: Conscious Living in the City
In a densely populated, fast-moving city like Singapore, conversations around sustainability often get drowned out by convenience. But movements are growing—especially among younger generations—toward slower, more conscious consumption.
That shift is what Cellini and Base Piece are tapping into.
By creating a space for sustainable gifting, they’re making it easier for everyday consumers to choose better without compromising on experience. No guilt, no greenwashing—just honest craftsmanship, responsibly made.
For Cellini, this is an extension of their long-standing ethos. “We’ve always believed that design has a duty to be timeless,” says their team. “Not just in style, but in how it respects the materials, the makers, and the people who bring it into their homes.”
For Base Piece, the collaboration is an opportunity to bring their wares into new spaces and stories. “We create with a purpose,” their founder says. “Our goal is to help people rediscover the joy of thoughtful dining and living. That starts with what we use and how it’s made.”
