Just 7km from the heart of Sydney, in the vibrant Precinct 75, lies Watertiger, an emporium of exotic homewares, antique Asian furniture and eclectic decor that spans the globe. This sanctuary of unique finds is the brainchild of Kathrin Bruce, a visionary with over two decades of immersion in the Eastern way of life. Her journey through the fashion industry in Southeast Asia not only honed her eye for craftsmanship, but also ignited a passion for rustic Asian furniture and one-of-a-kind treasures from diverse cultures.
Watertiger is a culmination of Kathrin's adventures and expertise. It's where her favourite pieces - from antique Chinese furniture to Indian home decor - are meticulously curated and presented to the world. This Sydney-based haven doesn't just offer items, it offers stories, with each piece hand-picked for its craftsmanship, history and soul.
With an expansive 450 square-meter showroom, Watertiger is a hub of constant discovery. Here, alongside her right-hand woman Edwina, Kathrin keeps the space alive with new arrivals, creating an ever-changing tapestry of treasures. The atmosphere of the showroom is one of inspiration and exploration, where customers are invited to embark on their own journey of discovery to find the perfect vintage piece that speaks to them.
Watertiger's ethos goes beyond mere acquisition. It's about providing a bridge to the world's most authentic Indian, Moroccan, Turkish, Indonesian and Chinese furniture and decor. Their commitment to authenticity and craftsmanship has made them one of Sydney's most revered furniture stores, offering both retail and wholesale opportunities. For those unable to visit in person, Watertiger's web store serves as a digital marketplace for these exotic homewares, bringing the beauty and craftsmanship of Asia to Australia.
The creative precinct that houses Watertiger is more than just a location; it's a community of like-minded businesses, from delightful cafes to skilled artisans, all contributing to the unique experience of visiting the showroom. This environment, combined with a constantly refreshed range of pieces, ensures that every visit to Watertiger is a new adventure.
The vision for Watertiger is not static. Looking to the future, the possibility of expanding their physical presence with a second showroom is on the horizon, reflecting their ever-evolving journey and endless quest for beauty and inspiration.
