Organic Home Interiors: MRETTY's Vision for Singapore's Sustainable Living

In Singapore’s pursuit of eco-conscious living, organic home interiors have emerged as the cornerstone of modern architecture. At MRETTY, we merge timeless natural aesthetics with cutting-edge sustainability, crafting furniture that aligns with HDB guidelines and tropical climate demands. This article explores our innovative approach, supported by real-world applications and material science breakthroughs tailored for Singapore’s iconic public housing and luxury condos.

The Foundations of Organic Home Design

Natural Materials and Sustainable Sourcing

Singapore’s humidity and heat demand materials that resist decay while prioritizing environmental responsibility. Our FSC-certified solid wood—sourced from Southeast Asian plantations—ensures ethical forestry practices. Unlike conventional particleboards, our ENF-certified OSB panels (formaldehyde ≤0.025mg/m³) utilize a cross-laminated structure to resist moisture absorption, a critical factor for kitchens and bathrooms.
