Kedai Bikin. The sleek shop is decked out with floor-to-ceiling windows.

Kedai Bikin

Lake Gardens, Brickfields & Bangsar


Managed by home-grown architects and designers, this furniture and home accessories shop turns retro furniture into contemporary showpieces. For example, the famous cord chairs – once staples of Malaysian homes – are given an updated look by adding timber armrests or a rattan weave support. Collaborations with craftspeople from across Malaysia give their products a unique, local touch.

Look out for the pieces of silk-cotton upholstery made by weavers in Kota Bharu, the batik print bed sheets, recycled PVC tote bags, and the Bendang ceramic flatware.
