Since it opened last year at Duxton Road, modern seafood restaurant and cocktail bar Marcy’s has been a hot draw, especially with its richly textured, vintage-influenced setting. The spot looks set to elevate its decor further with newly commissioned installations and sculptures by Sheryll Goh. The artist is known for Pandan Dreams, a studio that creates sculptural ornaments and tactile environments that come alive at dinner parties. 

True to Goh’s signature MO of playing at the intersection of luxury, taste and kitsch, she’s created a mini show of fantastical objects for Marcy’s, titled Bow Or Butterfly. Stationed at various corners of the restaurant, bows are reimagined as playful creatures descending onto Marcy’s in their second life; some are twirled around flowers, perched on the windowsill and illuminated by the chandeliers’ evening glow.

They’re testament to Goh’s deft ability to magick strange and beautiful creations out of old collected items like ribbons. Be sure to take a careful look around your surroundings the next time you pop by Marcy’s.

Louis Vuitton’s much anticipated 200 Trunks, 200 Visionaries: The Exhibition has finally open its doors to the public and it’s a doozy. For the uninitiated, this global travelling show is part of the Maison’s massive tribute to the 200th birthday of its namesake founder.

Louis Vuitton invited 200 of the world’s most vaunted stars across art, fashion, film, literature, music and sports to interpret its famous steamer trunks, including names like Japanese floral artist Azuma Makoto (the same guy who launched flowers into space), K-pop juggernauts BTS, legendary feminist author Gloria Steinem, art curator extraordinaire Hans Ulrich Obrist, fashion’s most exciting stylist Ibrahim Kamara, visionary Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto and so many more.

It’s a real visual feast to see how the trunks have been dissected and re-presented, and Singapore is one of only a handful of stops (including Paris, London and New York) on this travelling showcase, so we’re not exaggerating when we say this is a must-see (a key highlight of the show is a trunk which is a record-player that comes with its own sound-proof room.)

Come year-end, all 200 trunks will be up for auction at Sotheby’s, with proceeds going to various charities.

On now till April 27, from 10am to 10pm, at Marina Bay Sands Event Plaza

FYI, Earth Day happens later this month on April 23, and eco-conscious Mexican hospitality group Super Loco Group is one chain that’s stepping up to contribute to the movement through various means. The group, which owns popular spots such as Lucha Loco, has teamed up with Fable Food — one of Australia’s leading clean label meat-alternative brands, to put on their first ever Loco Earth Month.

What this entails: it’s not just plant-based dishes as diners can also take part in various activities to do their part. For example, for every set menu purchased, customers will also get to adopt a tree under their name as part of ongoing tree-planting efforts to aid reforestation across Borneo’s endangered rainforests, with the group matching every tree by planting one of their own.

The group has also enlisted like-minded lifestyle brands to curate a series of weekend daytime activities such as kintsugi classes (pictured) which is the Japanese art of repairing broken or damaged items with gold. Behind it is the philosophy that treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise — much like how upcycling renews old items for new purposes. Other activities include plant-based cooking workshops and farm tours. More details here.

On now till April 30 at various locations
