Our Story

The Xylo Archive:
Precision in Print.

The Xylocopa—the solitary carpenter bee of Singapore—works with a precision that ignores the crowd. She drills perfect, purposeful tunnels into timber to house her legacy. She is patient. She is unmarked. She is the architect of the overlooked.

The Xylo Archive mirrors that discipline.

We don't offer a catalogue; we curate a record. Singapore is an island that punches above its weight—home to over 400 bird species, the pangolins of Bukit Timah, and the hidden reefs of Changi. We document this startling biodiversity through the rigorous lens of natural history illustration.

Every print is a considered selection of the wildlife living here today. Made in Singapore, produced for the discerning, and built for those who understand that the most extraordinary things require us to look closely.

Questions

About the archive.

What sizes are available?
All prints come in A3 (29.7×42cm) for S$38, or A2 (42×59.4cm) for S$58. A2 is our recommendation — it really shows the detail.
What are they printed on?
Our prints are on waterproof and tear-resistant paper, adapted to Singapore's tropical conditions. Rich colours, sharp lines — and built to last.
How long does delivery take?
We dispatch within 2–3 working days. Most Singapore orders arrive within 5 working days.
How much does shipping cost?
S$5 flat rate for all Singapore orders. Spend S$60 or more — that's just one A2 print — and delivery is free.
Can I return my order?
Yes — within 14 days for undamaged prints. If your order arrives damaged, just send us a photo and we'll replace it, no hassle.
Do the prints fit standard frames?
Yes! Both A3 and A2 fit standard frames — you'll find plenty of options at IKEA, Spotlight, and most framing shops in Singapore.
