My Favourite Nook

Light Fantastic

The passion for interior decoration runs deep in the family-run upholstery brand Pierre Frey—true to his familial roots, Matthieu Frey’s Singapore home features a rich mix of styles and cultural influences

During my first visit to Matthieu Frey’s home in Singapore, I’m drawn to the quality of light in his double-height dining room, particularly on a sunny morning. There’s a particularly cozy nook by the window in this area, where the Dimitri sofa from Pierre Frey sits; it’s unsurprisingly his favorite reading spot.

“I regularly have my morning coffee and juice here, while my kids are having breakfast before heading to school,” he says. “It oversees the luxuriant garden and most importantly, it has direct morning sunlight which is essential for a good start to my day!”

The Asia Pacific director of Pierre Frey has lived in this apartment for six years, with his wife and their two young children. He professes with some relief that the couple can finally own “nice furniture”, now that their children are of schoolgoing age and less prone to doodling on the seats.
