When a Singaporean TikTok user recently posted a photo gallery of her newly done-up home on the platform, the top comment zoomed in on one small detail of her kitchen: “OMG, what are those baguette thingies?”

Another commenter swooped in with the answer: They are lamps, purchased from local home decor and lifestyle brand Stacked Store.

Designed by Japanese artist Yukiko Morita under her Pamp-shade label, the lamps ($165 to $180) are made from actual, hollowed-out baguettes, preserved with an antibacterial and anti-fungal coating to prevent mould.

The lamps capture the Stacked Store ethos: a curated collection of home objects that are as functional as they are design-led and delightfully unexpected.

“We look for products that balance design, function and personality. Pieces that stand out, yet sit naturally within everyday living,” says Ms Anthea Han, e-commerce manager for Stacked Store.

Another standout is a set of four stackable koi glasses ($96) from Spanish brand DOTY. When nested, the four individual blue tumblers form the shape of a koi fish, making for a fun display piece.

Stacked Store is the lifestyle spin-off of Stacked Homes, a platform for property advice and interior design inspiration. Both were founded by the millennial entrepreneur trio of Druce Teo, Adriano Tawin and Adam Wham, all in their mid-30s.
