This boutique is located on the ground floor of the Raffles Hotel Arcade and presents a new hybrid retail experience, similar to the M.A.D.Gallery, in a more intimate setting.<\/p>\n

The MB&F Lab in Singapore follows the recently revamped architectural identity of the M.A.D.Galleries. Its clean, crisp, gallery-like interiors in white provide the perfect canvas for the new design direction. Focal in the boutique is a giant reflective lens in blue, bespoke domed glass display cases for watches, accompanied by custom-made mid-century-inspired tables and matching furniture.<\/p>\n

In collaboration with Swiss-based agency Voltige Design & Architecture, MB&F has redefined the interior design and architectural identity for its M.A.D.Galleries and the new MB&F Lab spaces. These will showcase MB&F Machines with a curated selection of kinetic art pieces, in more intimate spaces than a full-fledged M.A.D.Gallery.<\/p>\n

Distinct to this new architectural identity is a new bespoke visual marker: a giant blue reflective lens that is the focal point of the space. Evocative and eye-catching against the white background, the lens plays with the geometric rules of reflections.<\/p>\n

\"\"T<\/em>he gallery-like space of the new MB&F Lab provides the perfect backdrop for kinetic artworks and MB&F\u2019s creations, such as this \u201cWorld Skies\u201d by BREAKFAST and MB&F x L\u2019Ep\u00e9e 1839 Co-creations Medusa, Grant, and Octopod (left to right).<\/em>Credit: The Hour Glass<\/em><\/p>\n

The relationship between Max B\u00fcsser and The Hour Glass dates back well before Max B\u00fcsser founded his own company in 2005. The Hour Glass is proud to be a partner of MB&F since the very beginning. The opening of the first MB&F Lab in Singapore marks a new milestone in this long-term partnership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
