Tropical-inspired wooden furniture isn’t just decor—it’s a celebration of resilience and natural beauty. At MRETTY, we craft bespoke pieces that mirror Singapore’s lush landscapes while embracing sustainability, aligning with the nation’s Green Plan 2030.

-
Aviation aluminum honeycomb: Lightweight yet robust for modular designs.
2. Climate-Responsive Design

J-slot cabinetry: Minimizes on-site waste during installation.
-
UV-resistant lacquer: Prevents fading in Singapore’s tropical sunlight.

Open-lattice ventilation: Enhances airflow in humid environments.
