wheniwasfour | 小时候工作屋 WHENIWASFOUR is very much of a 'living' design studio and brand in the small town of Singapore. Appr WHY WHENIWASFOUR?

Many of you have asked why are we named WHENIWASFOUR? We found out that 'Four' is about the age when most children start to have first impressions of the many things, people and places around them. We hope to bring back childhood memories through design and various handmade products. So let's start reminiscing the good old days!

Before anything else… kopi first ☕ Happy International Coffee Day to everyone who cannot start the day without their kopi.

The real ones know — the iconic old-school YY Kafei Dian. There’s just something about a familiar cup of kopi, kaya toast and that nostalgic kopitiam feeling that makes the simple things feel extra special.
If you’re heading there, swing by our Bras Basah shop just around the corner. Take a slow walk, browse through little things that bring back memories and find something that adds a little joy to your day ❤️
