XTRA String Furniture Design Showcase

From 29 July to 2 August 2026, luxury furniture brand XTRA Designs in Singapore hosted '5DesignDays', a 5-day design festival showcase held at Marina Square Central Atrium exploring neuroaesthetics in home spaces through curated interior set ups, partner brand talks, and creative pop ups.

As part of XTRA Design's collaboration with String Furniture, Geraldine was one of six design creatives selected to showcase their creative interpretation on styling the iconic String Pocket shelf, with the final product on display throughout the duration of the festival.

With every creative choosing to showcase their best form of craft as part of the String Pocket design, Geraldine chose to paint her signature botanical mural on the 1.2 x 2.4m wall, featuring her String Pocket in oxblood red sitting among weaving poppy flowers in a matching warm colour palette. This exemplified her belief that murals should work in harmony with other interior objects to enhance the visual experience and not as a standalone.

Geraldine styled the shelf with a selection of personal objects that tells a story about her passions - a miniature toilet bowl and woven chair placed next to each other against her book 'Philosophy of the Home' is a playful nod to the dynamic between her and her husband, with other objects such as her palette and paint brush, handmade ceramic sculpture, incense, vintage FLOS lamp, ceramic bird display in a cocktail glass, and an ikebana arrangement of chrysanthemums and kangaroo paw all culminating in a visual story of what Geraldine and Ochre G stands for : an artful life and an artful home.
