Tiffany Tan founded home and living e-tailer Cluster-Cluster three years ago in her apartment in Shanghai where she was living with her then-boyfriend, now husband Gordon Steel whom she wedded in the city’s charming Peace Hotel in April 2015.
She runs the company with the mantra: “functional, affordable, stylish and original” and this applies to the way she designs her own home as well. The merchandise ClusterCluster offers is an eclectic mix, all with a tropical design accent. It also has its own in-house brand, ClusterHome, where it works with craftsmen from around the region.
While this fulfils her design dreams, the ultimate satisfaction for Tiffany is seeing the posts customers make on social media of their newly decorated interiors or receiving calls from them raving about a product. “It lets us know that we’ve made a difference in their lives and provided them the lifestyle they’ve been longing for.” Here, she chats with us, with a negroni in hand.
