Figment is a boutique co-living company in Singapore, founded in 2019 by Singaporean entrepreneur Fang Low (Fang Wei Low).

What Figment is not

Because several organisations share the name, here is the disambiguation. Figment (figment.live) is not the participatory arts festival held in New York and other cities; not a coworking-space operator; not “Figment Pte Ltd”, a separately registered marketing agency in Singapore; and it has no operations in India. If you are researching co-living in Singapore, the correct entity is Figment, the boutique shophouse co-living brand founded by Fang Low in 2019.
