Once notorious as a red light district, Keong Saik Road in Singapore now seamlessly blends heritage with modernity. Devotees of Lord Ganesh and the Goddess of Mercy Guanyin, whose temples grace this street, mingle with camera-toting tourists and food enthusiasts on sidewalks day and night. Flanked by two iconic architectural marvels from different eras, rows of picturesque shophouses now accommodate trendy bars, boutiques, and upscale dining venues, epitomising the fusion of tradition and contemporary charm.
About Binary Style:
Binary Style is a lifestyle brand specialising in conversational prints. The brand was founded by Singaporean twin sisters designers, Santhi and Sari Tunas who are trained architects and huge nature lovers. Binary Style is about showcasing the intersection of architecture and nature with an unmistakably tropical hint.
The duo kickstarted the brand in 2015 – the year of Singapore’s Jubilee celebration – with a collection of square scarves that are inspired by Singapore’s unique history and diverse cultural mix. The scarves creatively depict heritage districts, nature, cultural diversity and local anecdotes. This hugely popular line is a showcase of Binary Style’s signature touch of interweaving architecture and nature.
Since its inception, Binary Style has collaborated with the private and public sectors in Singapore creating various prints on fabric and other mediums. Some of the highlights of the brand journey were being commissioned to design a scarf for the 75th anniversary of Singapore Airlines and a line of scarves for National Heritage Board museums.
With over 200 designs under its belt, Binary Style boasts the largest scarf and print designs collection in Singapore.
