Background (Where Does It Come From)
Driven by their passion for interior design, two experienced visionaries by the names of Simon Yew and Terrence Tang came together in 2002 to create ST CONCEPTS, an inspired ID firm that offers a wide variety of design services. From residences and commercial spaces, to luxurious yachts, the dynamic duo is always at ready to cater to any of the clients’ needs and desires, providing them with cutting edge design and architectural solutions.
ST CONCEPTS is situated in George Town, where Penang-educated Simon and Penang-born Terrence have made their base seeking to be inspired by the heritage city’s thought-provoking architecture and amalgamation of cultures. The firm’s strategic location in Penang Island also allows them to harness the beauty of the landscape for inspirations to create sophisticated and aesthetic designs that the firm is well-known for.
The appellation ST CONCEPTS is an acronym of the names of the company’s two founders, Simon and Terrence. However, ST also stands for STRONG, STRATEGIC, and STIMULATING, three words that succinctly describe the design concepts of the firm.

Design Philosophy (Where Do We Use It)
At ST Concepts, we adhere to 3 main philosophies that we’ve chosen to represent who we are as a creative entity.
“FROM IMPOSSIBLE TO POSSIBLE”
We believe that the power of design can be harnessed to break boundaries. By fully employing our ingenuity and creativity, we are able to turn what is deemed impossible to become possible through various forms of collaborations, such as brand integration, cultural infusion, and strategic product and designer partnerships.
“WE LISTEN, WE COMMUNICATE, WE CREATE”
Each one of our projects is treated with unique approach and attention. We understand that the need of each client is different, and thus we commit to clearly listening to the requirements and requests of every task for a more human-oriented methodology that finds the perfect balance between functional and aesthetic design features.
“NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE”
For us, no request by a client is too difficult or too unfeasible to bring to life. We strive to make any and every vision of a homeowner or space proprietor come to reality for ultimate customer satisfaction. In our books, impossible is not a fact; it’s just an opinion.
