With 38% of Singaporean households comprising three or more generations, the demand for smart furniture tailored to multigenerational living has surged. These homes require furniture that balances safety, accessibility, and adaptability across age groups—from toddlers to seniors. MRETTY’s innovative designs merge cutting-edge technology with Asian cultural nuances, addressing challenges like limited space, varying mobility needs, and humidity-induced wear.
The Rising Demand for Adaptive Furniture
Singapore’s aging population and rising multi-generational households demand furniture that evolves with family dynamics. Key requirements include:
-
Modular scalability: Furniture that grows with family needs
-
Multi-functional use: Seamless transitions between activities
-
Universal accessibility: Features compliant with Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority (BCA) standards
MRETTY’s solutions reduce floor space usage by 40% through foldable and transformable designs, validated by BCA’s Multigenerational Housing Guidelines.
