06 Nil Six Studio

This post should have been up last month, however work gets in the way and it was delayed. I hope Stanley (owner of Nil Six Studio) won’t get disappointed with the late posting as I told him I’ll blog about his shop once I get back to PJ. Anyway, here we go Nil Six Studio.

It was during one of those random trips that I came across this shop. My normal habit when visiting Jonker Street will only take me to shops located at the main street. However this time round I decided to explore further to Jalan Tokong. It was about noon and the sun is getting hotter, all I wanted to do is to find a shed. As I walk along the row of shops I found this place. I must say, apart from Orang Utan, this is by far the most artistic t-shirt design I’ve ever seen in this area.

I like the concept of the brand and how it was expressed through its merchandise. “Nil Six Studio” isn’t some weird arty name just for the sake of being arty. “Nil Six” is actually derive from the Chinese word “Ling Lu” which means “Mouse deer” or “Sang Kancil” in Bahasa. Sang Kancil is the icon of Malacca. This animal was portray as a bright and clever creature in the history of Malacca as describe by Parameswara.


Nil Six Studio see themselves as a bright and creative team that connect the past with the present through design.
