Why FSC-Certified Teak Matters in Singapore
Singapore’s luxury real estate demands furniture that marries heritage with sustainability. FSC-certified teak isn’t just a material choice—it’s a commitment to ethical sourcing and environmental stewardship. At MRETTY, we redefine high-end customization by combining centuries-old teak craftsmanship with cutting-edge green technologies, ensuring every piece aligns with Singapore’s Green Plan 2030.
