There are perks to digital purchases, but the lack of the chance to feel a product in hand isn’t one of them. As more options pop up, the decision-making process will get increasingly difficult, so it’s always good to have an alternative platform that eliminates any potential doubts or uncertainty in buying an item, especially with one that can define the aesthetic of your room or home.
In that spirit, Omnidesk Singapore is looking to offer a different set of experiences for its customers and the homegrown company is transforming the third floor of Funan into a pop-up store for a limited time, where visitors can see, touch, and feel its signature Wildwood Collection height adjustable tables before ordering it. Instead of a plain black or white look, these Pheasantwood, Acacia+, Acacia, Natural Hevea, Richbrown Hevea, Walnut and Red Cedarwood tabletops offer natural designs that preserve the characteristics of their respective wood, striking a delicate balance between premium quality and craftsmanship.
None of the physical set-ups will look the same, too. With the best-selling Omnidesk Ascent standing desk and newly-introduced Omnidesk Classic leading the charge, each variation is equipped with its own flair that caters to different aesthetic preferences, use and tastes. For instance, the Ascent Radiance RGB tabletop is specially tailored for gaming enthusiasts, while the Straight Edge (White) colourway touts a clean, stylish workspace.
Accompanying accessories, from a beverage holder to Creative Pebble speakers, are also displayed in all their glory, allowing for the chance to test out different features of the desks and visualise an ergonomic, home office experience.
As a pop-up, the Funan space will not be able to house its entire series of products so as part of the grand opening festivities, and for those who want to see their complete offerings, customers can enjoy the following discounts on the premium Wildwood Collection, as well as a 25% off the artisanal Ichi Collection at their flagship Aftershock retail showroom in Suntec City:
- 12% off with a minimum spending of S$1,200 (get Anchor or Castors worth S$69 for free)
- 12% off with a minimum spending of S$800
- 10% off with a minimum spending of S$500
In-store desk purchases, meanwhile, come with the chance to walk away with one of the four sure-win goodies: a wooden wrist rest, coaster, pen holder, or tote bag, worth S$99 in total.
The biggest catch, though, is that one lucky visitor stands to walk away with the highly-coveted Omnidesk Ascent. All that needs to be done is to vote for your favourite Wildwood tabletop via a voting board at the Funan store, and have a shot at winning the desk, delivery and assembly included (worth up to S$2,027). The giveaway will end on 12 November, so make sure to swing by before then.
The Omnidesk pop-up experience follows the success of its first showroom in Suntec City, which has been revamped to house more Ichi Collection table tops.
“Funan, being a lifestyle mall, is a perfect match for consumers who share their passion for improving their lives and living spaces, so setting up our pop-up store here was a straightforward decision,” said the company’s managing director, Benjamin Huang.
“With ample room available, we can display our expanding Wildwood Collection and also provide a more diverse selection of Omnidesk options for everyone, complementing our offerings in Suntec City.”
The limited-time store, located at Funan #03-K03, North Bridge Road Singapore 179105, is open from Monday to Sunday, 11am till 9pm.
