About Us
It all began in 1986 as Chez Design, the name that many will remember us by. We started out as a small shop with big values — of creating masterpieces out of work spaces and always going beyond what was expected. 30 years and on, the concept remains as we continue to push boundaries, alongside local and regional craftsmen that share our ethos, rebranding as CD plus A (Chez Design plus Associates) to bring you more.
Our Journey
Right from the start, it has always been our business to make space work harder for you. Be it a new office building or a minor revamp, we have what it takes to craft your brand image into a work environment unique to you. 30 years and on, we still see every project as a blank canvas on which to explore fresh themes.
Headquartered in Singapore and with strong presence in the region, we continue to discover new dimensions to the trade, working closely with our associates as well as specialists from related fields to provide a wider palette of services.

Masters of the Trade
Meet the minds behind our spaces — a team of passionate designers, strategists, and makers driven to craft workplaces that inspire.
Eddy Lim - CEO
Chief master at work, leisure painter at ease. The man who gives meaning to the term ‘The art of work’ — mixing work with pleasure never seemed easier with his artistic flair. We hear clients are more than happy to have their office come alive with his vivid watercolour pieces.
“In art, in painting, you have to do it diligently to get a good result rather than rush everything. Similarly, a design firm should go for quality, rather than volume. Every client is unique, and we want to serve each one well.”
Melvyn See - Managing Director
With a love of the industry and a wealth of experience, there is little wonder why this gentleman will win you over, with not only what CD plus A has to offer — but how we can make a difference to your space and make life simpler at work.
"A satisfied customer may be the best business strategy, but what’s even better, is turning them into friends at the end of the day."
David Bay - Design Director
Blessed with an eye for aesthetics and always up-to-date with trends, this is the man to go to for your latest to-die-for centrepiece. Knowing that the devil is in the detail, he takes extra care that every line drawn transforms into real meaning for your space.
"I always believe that passion makes the difference, and if you ask me which is our best piece of work, I would say, it’s got to be the next one."
