Scanteak for Scandi-style designs
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 the brand’s furniture stores in Singapore. The tenacity of teak means the products are durable, and Scanteak focuses on long-lasting product design as well. Its furniture reflects one of the defining characteristics of Scandinavian home décor design: an emphasis on simplicity and functionality.
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. All the products are certified low-formaldehyde as well, which means they’ve been tested to ensure that your home is indeed a safe space.
Head to any of the showrooms, including the Tan Boon Liat outlet, to speak to a consultant for advice on teak furniture, home accessories or even their German-engineered mattresses.
