One of my favourite furniture shops in the Tan Boon Liat Building! Journey East's furniture is a mix of eco-friendly, industrial, and vintage pieces with Asian accents. We recently bought a TV stand for our living area, and we love it so much that we thought we'd return to see if there are any other pieces that would interest us. We were in the market for a desk for my office, but this time around we didn't spot anything in our price range. However, we were thinking of getting a small side table and instead, found these awesome stackable crates by d-Bohdi (same brand as our TV stand.) They are made of recycled teak and come in various sizes. The sales associate was very helpful in finding the best looking ones and stacking them for us so we could choose what combinations we liked. He also gave us some good tips on how to use them, for example: the large crate is good for magazines while the small crate can be used to serve drinks to guests if we are entertaining. We ended up getting one each of the small, medium, and large crates. They look really lovely next to our couch! We appreciated how our sales associate and the rest of the staff were very welcoming, and I must admit I am quite smitten with their resident cat Ginger- if you see him wandering around, give him a pat on the head for me, will ya? :)

Singapore is one of the Best Places in the world to buy furniture, especially if you have an eye for South East Asian pieces. Journey East best personifies this by taking reclaimed teak wood from Java (Indonesia) to create beautiful individually crafted furnishings. I, for one, had an eye on a TV Console hand-crafted from wood originating from old Javanese fishing boats framed with strong black iron. The fading paint (of varying colours) of the wood just made this piece and others like it, a conversational piece. The concept of taking wood that is destined to be scrapped or burned, but instead is used as raw material to create simply stunning furnishings is Awe-inspiring! What makes Journey East even more attractive for would-be furniture shoppers is that it is surprisingly affordable. Forget about the ridiculous furniture prices at the Park Mall or the fan-fare around the newly opened Crate And Barrel in Orchard Gateway. Journey East delivers equivalent furnishings at a fraction of the price. Not to mention, every dollar you spend goes to a local Singaporean business whose business model on Eco-friendly furniture. This is what Yelp is all about, after all, supporting local businesses! Putting aside the Eco-friendly aspect of Journey East, the d-Bodhi branded furniture pieces are simply STUNNING!

d-Bodhi Furniture showroom. See said TV console described in my review.

Interesting idea for a coffee table.

Such a cool furniture store with a very eclectic mix of things old and new. Tucked in an office building you have to know the address to find it or else you will not see it from the road. If your looking for a cool piece of furniture check them out.

Eco-friendly furniture pieces Starting off as a typical furniture store specialising in teak and Indonesian furniture, Journey East has "evolved" in their words to include sustainable practices. These include refurbishing vintage furniture as well as recycling wood from old buildings, fishing boats and railway sleepers into unique, desirable pieces of art that double as cupboards, benches and more. They also choose their furniture partners who demonstrate fair trade practices and encourage the reduction of carbon production. Their showroom would make an environmentalist proud. There is a lot of fine craftsmanship on display, each one-of-a-kind piece the result of its recycled use as well as the skill of the craftsman. My favourite is the d-Bodhi brand, which uses the aforementioned recycled teak, Javanese fishing boats and galvanized iron pipes for a really unique finish and energy. A friendly resident cat enlivens the surroundings, and does not mind a few pats and cuddles.

Love the d-Bodhi and District 8 range of recycled wood furniture. Beauty is imperfect!

There’s nothing else in Singapore like Tan Boon Liat Building – this iconic blue building's been along Outram Road since the 70s. It’s a treasure trove of all things furniture and decor: one-of-a-kind statement pieces, modern Scandinavian furniture, and even rare antiques that have been sourced from far-flung places like Northern China. Since it spans 14 floors, with furniture shops around every corner, it might be a little perplexing for first-time visitors. No need to hunt high and low for a rare Tiffany lamp or rattan bar stools, here are the best furniture shops to check out in Tan Boon Liat Building.

Been there, done that? Think again, my friend.

Hidden gems of Tan Boon Liat

Born in colour.

Tiong Bahru

From rattan to solid wood furniture , local retailer Born in Colour’s diverse collection is worth seeing in person. This store carries a wide range of Scandinavian, Bohemian and mid-century furniture, available in an assortment of colours to suit every mood. Created with a typical Singaporean household in mind, each furniture piece is specially curated for both compactness and functionality. For muted palette lovers, the Hesse range is one to look for – boasting fluted sliding panels with rounded edges, the range spells Scandinavian design with a twist. Meanwhile, the Certo mid-century range has a timeless appeal that will sit well with other styles both old and new, thanks to its emphasis on simple lines that bring out the enduring beauty of wood.

To recreate these gorgeous design looks in your home, shop Born in Colour’s pieces here .

Paid content

Rattan has made a comeback in recent years, and furniture shop Rooma is known for its stylish use of rattan and solid wood. A visit to the store in Tan Boon Liat Building displays an assortment of furniture – everything from beautifully-crafted cabinets to old-school benches. There’s also a custom-made furniture service available for those looking for a one-of-a-kind item.

Emperor’s Attic

There’s a certain charm about handcrafted vintage furniture, and at Emperor’s Attic, it’s a vast collection of antiques, vintage, and even reproduced Chinese furniture. It sources its items directly from Northern China, making sure to personally select and authenticate each piece. When it comes to antique hunting, the details matter too – the team will be sure to accurately gauge the item’s age, origin, and materials. While it does not customise furniture orders, the staff are more than willing to help you source a specific piece you have in mind.

ipse ipsa ipsum

At furniture store ipse ipsa ipsum, they take great pride in their furniture with each piece personally handcrafted using traditional techniques. The store name’s Latin for “himself, herself, and itself” – we’re guessing it spans all individuals. From hand etching to ironmongery, the furniture here is unlike any other in Singapore. You can be sure that your dining table or glass lamp is one-of-a-kind, since they use premium materials: black agate, rose quartz, and pink abalone shell.

The Past Perfect Collection

Head to level 11 for The Past Perfect Collection, which has antique furniture spanning the British, Dutch and Portuguese era in India. Owners Pieter and Marie-Hélène van Houten had previously lived in India, and with their interest in its colonial history, they’ve lovingly restored many antiques and colonial furniture. The pieces are sourced and handpicked from India – and many of them were once part of stately colonial mansions.

Grey & Sanders

While we all enjoy a few statement pieces scattered around our home, we still need long-lasting, quality furniture – which is right up Grey and Sanders’ alley. It’s one of the mainstay furniture shops behind the Scandi decor trend in Singapore, with premium designs in earthy and neutral tones. They also have a selection of wooden slabs, available for pre-ordering a unique dining table or study desk.

Artful House

As a nod to the beauty of Indian craftsmanship, Artful House sources its vintage items directly from India. The shop is a treasure trove of colourful doors and carved window frames, with most pieces made from recycled wood. In some cases, it makes the most of old doorway panels and cleverly uses the materials for an entirely new piece. Those looking for a truly unique piece will delight in browsing through its variety of handcrafted furniture and upholstered accent chairs.

Journey East

As one of the more popular furniture stores in Tan Boon Liat Building, Journey East has no shortage of customers – you’ll find that their shop’s often filled with keen visitors browsing through their mishmash of restored pieces and modern designs. Whether it’s a stylish wooden study desk or modern LED light bulbs, you’ll most likely find a unique statement piece to suit your new abode.

Commune Life

While Tan Boon Liat Building has no shortage of antique and vintage stores, Commune Life stands out for its collection of modern designer furniture. They pride themselves on creating lifestyle pieces that are equal parts tasteful and comfortable. Another plus: their designs constantly rely upon recycled materials, ethically-sourced wood, and coatings that have low lead content. Knowing that many of us live in small flats, they’ve made sure to design furniture that fits small living spaces – all at a fair price point.

Singapore Trading Post

Gifts and souvenirs

Vintage lovers: behold Singapore Trading Post, a homeware emporium filled with memorabilia sourced from places that used to be the trade routes of Singapore’s colonial past. One-of-a-kind pieces to sift through include large statement furniture like grandfather clocks and trinkets like an old pair of binoculars.

Arete Culture

Bukit Batok

Arete Culture’s interior design services will create your dream space with homeware sourced from around the world. Founded by Caroline Chin Geyler, the brand has two showrooms in Singapore: the one over at Tan Boon Liat Building offers a pared-down curation in a centralised location. You can browse through a huge variety of designs including cushions, lamps and mirrors from The Luxe Hotel Collection, textiles from Linen and Moore, luxury bed linens from Sleep Naked, and artworks from Urban Road, Karen Charmoille and Christina Jensen.

LivingwithArt

LivingwithArt has a wide range of premium art paintings and prints. You can find artworks of every style here, from vibrant paintings to black and white prints, if you prefer a monochromatic colour palette. The studio also has works from established Singaporean artists such as Amanda Lim, Andy Yong, and Pua Ann Chi.

Gallery1819

Art space Gallery1819 might be familiar for art lovers, especially since the gallery is a fine art wing of LivingwithArt, known for its accessible range of artworks. Gallery1819, however, serves a different purpose. The new gallery features Southeast Asian artworks and artists from across the region – perfect for collectors who live for the finer things in life. From Chinese Ink to Gouache paintings, Gallery1819 Singapore offers a versatile range of works.

Journey East Review: Furniture store with hidden bar at Tan Boon Liat Building

It’s tough times for brick and mortar shops . Like F&B joints, they must constantly reinvent themselves to attract a new generation of shoppers pampered by the ease of online shopping.

One of Singapore’s favourite furniture shops, Journey East has navigated the turbulent waters of the retail world with aplomb.

What is Journey East?

Founded in 1995 in Dempsey Hill as a vintage furniture story selling retro teak pieces from the bygone era, it moved to the Tan Boon Liat Building (which has since turned into Singapore’s unofficial furniture hub) in 2008.

Over the years, Journey East made a name for itself for quirky vintage pieces, curated brands and a store ambassador named Ginger, a resident orange cat that delighted shoppers until his peaceful passing at the extraordinary age of 29 human years old.

The 8,600 sq ft store was refurbished late last year, offering shoppers a fresh look and unique retail experience.

“We have been evolving towards a more refined, sleeker, and design-centric offering for our customers,” shares Journey East’s general manager Terence Teh. This direction is apparent in the refurbished store.

Designed by interior designer Dennis Cheok and team from his studio UPSTRS_, the new showroom features splashes of Journey East’s signature orange colour, that adds freshness and contrast to the neutral colour palette of the furniture.

The most notable feature of this new showroom is a neon-lit long bar counter finished with subway mosaic tiles with orange grouting.

Journey East: Furniture store with a hidden bar

“The bar is open,” says the neon sign behind the counter, which were fashioned after Journey East’s founder and managing director Anita Sam’s handwriting.

Customers are welcome to hang out at the bar as they shop or wait for their loved ones to finish shopping. The bar also serves as the anchor point for special store programmes and soirees that often invite guest bartenders, DJs, designers, makers and other creatives.

Here and there light boxes with thought-provoking phrases and playful installation created with furniture brands sold in the showroom – which include Qeeboo, dBodhi, District Eight, Pappelina, Slowdown Studio, Gangzai, Journey’s East’s own Floorish rug collection, and many more – inspire shoppers to take home a little bit of the showroom’s cool factor and infuse it into their own spaces.

Safe to say that Journey East will stay a favourite for many for a long time still.

Scanteak for Scandi-teak style

For quality wood furniture and home accessories, Scanteak combines the simplicity of Scandinavian designs with teak, one of the most sought-after wood materials. The company creates lasting, easy-to-maintain furniture pieces and home décor. This includes wooden sofas, bed frames and dining tables as well as stylish trays, condiment holders, wooden plates and accessories holders.

Durability is key at all of their furniture stores in Singapore. The tenacity of teak means the products are durable, and the brand focuses on long-lasting product design as well. One of the defining characteristics of Scandinavian home décor design is its emphasis on simplicity and functionality. The furniture at Scanteak reflects this philosophy.

As teak is such a precious resource, the Indonesian government strictly enforces responsible harvesting. This ensures the sustainability of its teak plantations. It’s from these regulated plantations that Scanteak sources materials.

Head to any Scanteak showroom to speak to a consultant for advice on teak furniture, home accessories or even their German-engineered mattresses.
