SINGCHAN Design

SINGCHAN DESIGN is a Guangzhou-based design studio committed to finding inspiration across civilizations and eras and reconstructing them through design. With the founder Sing Chan, we explore the relationship of lighting, furniture, and objects in their environments, creating works that connect the present and the past.

Sing Chan ( Chinese: 陈星宇/Xingyu Chen) , the founder of SINGCHAN DESIGN, was born in 1990, and graduated from the Department of Industrial Design in Guangzhou University in 2013. He served as the Design Director for Bentu Design in 2016. Founded his design studio in 2020, Sing specializes in discovering new revelations from different civilizations and eras, reconstructing them through design methods, and shaping new objects that link the past and the present.

Panyu, Guangzhou, China, where Sing grew up, is a small town with a rich history along the Pearl River. In the early years, thanks to the developed waterway transportation, the port of the town had a very close relationship with Hong Kong, the imported cultures, utensils, and values meet and fuse here.

It was not until he had been in the design industry for more than ten years that he realized that his understanding of native culture was shallow. He is confused about this, and experience tells him that the truly valuable objects are not groundless and pieced together, but based on historical inspection and adaptation of the times. Sing hopes that his design can be like a story that is worth telling in a lyric way, affecting the present across time.
