Crafting Light & Legacy: MRETTY's Art of Bespoke Illumination
In Singapore’s pursuit of harmonizing modernity with sustainability, MRETTY reimagines lighting as both an art form and an environmental statement. Our ENF-certified OSB panels, aviation-grade aluminum honeycomb cores, and E0-grade finishes aren’t just materials—they’re the foundation of lighting designs that elevate Singaporean homes. This article explores how MRETTY merges bespoke craftsmanship with smart sustainability, tailored for the city-state’s unique climate and spatial demands.
Why Custom Lighting Matters in Singaporean Homes
Singapore’s compact urban fabric and tropical climate demand lighting solutions that are both functional and sustainable. Traditional lighting contributes to 15% of household energy use, but MRETTY’s closed-loop systems reduce energy consumption by 58% compared to industry averages. Key drivers include:
- Cultural Adaptation: Harmonizing Western minimalism with Asian motifs like lotus petals or Peranakan geometric patterns.
- Space Optimization: Slim-profile fixtures for HDB flats and landed properties.
- Eco-Consciousness: Recyclable materials and solar-ready designs aligning with Singapore’s Green Plan 2030.
5 Steps to Master Custom Lighting in Singapore
-
Assess Spatial Dynamics
Analyze room dimensions and humidity levels. For kitchens, opt for moisture-resistant ENF OSB panels with anti-condensation coatings. -
Choose Climate-Resilient Fixtures
Aviation aluminum honeycomb fixtures withstand Singapore’s humidity, resisting corrosion and warping. -
Layer Lighting Zonally
Combine task lighting (LED strips under cabinets) with ambient glow (recessed downlights) for multifunctional spaces. -
Integrate Smart Controls
Use motion sensors and app-based dimming to align with Singapore’s energy-saving mandates. -
Prioritize Aesthetic-Functional Balance
J-slot modular systems allow adjustable shelving to accommodate changing needs without structural waste.

Case Study: A Zen-Inspired Condo in Tanjong Pagar
For a 120㎡ condo, MRETTY designed a lighting system blending Japanese wabi-sabi with Singaporean pragmatism:
- Slatted Bamboo Pendants: Hand-carved from FSC-certified bamboo, diffusing warm light while masking electrical conduits.
- Magnetic Track System: Adjustable LED strips above the dining table, customizable for family dinners or work-from-home setups.
