Entrepreneur and 2016 Gen.T lister Marisa Teo tells Hong Xinyi why she is looking for unique illumination
What is it like to grow up as the daughter of society fundraiser Peggy Jeffs? For starters, says Marisa Teo, Singapore Tatler was a big part of her childhood. “While others had storybooks, I was very fortunate to have my mum showing me countless issues of Tatler, and where she was featured. She would share with me the various contributions and success stories of the people she met, and it was certainly an encyclopedia of high society living.”
Marisa’s ties with Tatler have endured— this friendly entrepreneur was part of the inaugural Gen.T list in 2016, lauded for developing innovative lighting brand Maerich. Indeed, as a third-generation member of a family steeped in the lighting business, Marisa can talk about the quality of illumination all day long. For her, good lighting must accurately show the true colour of the objects being lit, and have minimal glare and optimal wavelengths so it doesn’t tire your eyes.
