A Thing of Sense x Hans Chew scent-and-ceramics pop-up at Prosper House, 12–13 Sep

A Thing of Sense x Hans Chew pop-up at Prosper House Singapore

Two independent Singapore makers are pairing up to explore scent through clay.

A Thing of Sense, known for its handmade soy candles, is collaborating with ceramicist Hans Chew on a pop-up at Prosper House, bringing three ingredient-inspired fragrances to life across a set of ceramic vessels. The pop-up runs 12–13 September 2026, from 12pm to 7pm both days.

What you can expect at A Thing of Sense x Hans Chew

A Thing of Sense makes small-batch scented candles from natural soy wax and premium fragrance oils out of a Singapore studio.

Meanwhile, Hans Chew works under the banner “Ceramics for Tomorrow”, producing handmade clay pieces with an emphasis on tactile, considered forms.

Together, the pairing points to a pop-up built around vessels designed specifically to hold and carry scent, rather than candles or ceramics shown separately.

The collaboration centres on three ingredient-inspired fragrances, each translated into its own ceramic form — expect the scent notes to directly inform the shape, glaze or texture of the vessel it’s poured into, rather than a generic candle-in-a-jar approach.

It’s a good fit for anyone who prefers browsing indie makers’ work up close over navigating a large market crowd.

There are pros and cons when being friends with Colman. You get good food recommendations and the occasional candid shots between taking snaps of the food. But there’s also the mandatory 15-minutes waiting time and the constant whining of how your noodle pull sucks. He’s also a sucker for coffee.
