Tan France Launches 18-Piece Home Collection with Castlery
Tan France, recognized for his role on Queer Eye, has launched an 18-piece furniture line with Singapore's Castlery, reflecting his South Asian and British roots. He expressed a desire for authenticity in his designs, emphasizing, "I didn’t want to select items from an already-designed collection." The collection showcases scalloped accents, a three-colored blown glass table lamp, and a sofa focused on comfort. Residing in Salt Lake City, France aims to harmonize cultural elements while prioritizing accessibility. In a Wallpaper* interview, he shared insights about the cultural influences of his childhood home and his design approach. Notable items include the lamp, sofa, mirror, and side tables, which he has incorporated into his own home. The complete collection is set to arrive next week.
