ABOUT CAT IN THE WOODS:
cat in the woods is a creative space rooted in curiosity, wonder, and exploration. What began as a passion project has evolved into a journey of discovery, celebrating the beauty of Japanese crafts through thoughtful curation, storytelling, and a deep respect for tradition and making. Their products are handcrafted in Singapore using quality materials sourced from Japan, reflecting a commitment to craftsmanship, materiality, and meaningful design.
Founder Anna Kwek is a designer and maker with a deep love for materials, textures, and colour. Trained in Industrial Design, her fascination with how things feel, move, and come together led her to establish cat in the woods as an artistic practice centred on exploration and making. Inspired by the care, respect, and quiet beauty of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, Anna seeks to honour these traditions while thoughtfully bridging them with contemporary and experimental interpretations.
