Global fashion icon, and the host of Netflix’s Queer Eye, Tan France brings his sartorial vision to the home section with his collaboration with décor brand, Castlery for a collection of 18 pieces across living, dining, lighting, rugs, décor, and accessories. The Castlery x Tan France Collection is informed by Tan’s British and South Asian heritage and Castlery’s legacy of craftsmanship. ““Living between cultures and countries has taught me that home isn’t just somewhere you live, it’s something you create, wherever you are. That was the heart of this collaboration,” says Tan.
Growing up across different continents, Tan not only learnt to juggle his multiple identities but also embrace the richness these brought along. His approach to home reflects that journey, bringing together influences, experiences, and traditions to create spaces that feel personal, layered, and individual. “Castlery was built in Singapore, a city that has always made something new from the meeting of many worlds,” says Declan Ee, Co-Founder of Castlery. “When we met Tan, we recognised that same story in him.”
Established at the crossroad of cultures, this collection doesn’t shy away from its origin story. You find this in the weighted silhouettes of the Kagan sofa and Anaya tea table, where the carved solid oak detailing with its pillar-like elements is reminiscent of the patterns found throughout South Asian design. Rich textures, sculptural forms are paired with warm oak finishes, carved detailing, richly textured upholstery, handblown glass, natural travertine, and handcrafted wool.
“I wanted to create pieces for the moments that bring a home to life, the table where everyone gathers, the sofa you sink into after a long day, the lamp you switch on when the house finally goes quiet. The beauty of a home is found in those everyday rituals, and I wanted this collection to celebrate them,” says Tan.
