Dennis Tay, founder of Naiise

Dennis Tay started his design platform Naiise in his bedroom in 2013 with just €2,000 and an optimism about his native Singapore’s budding industrial-design scene. Today his marketplace represents more than 1,000 makers and has shops in Southeast Asia and a new London pop-up.
