As soon as you step into Raffles Furnishings, that is located in Plaza Damas, it feels as if you have entered a tropical resort zone surrounded by teak wood, ratten, bamboo and pottery. With the gentle sound of splashing water from a series of jars that form a water feature near the stair soothes the exhaustion after an entire day of work.

Mr Darren Mark Pinkney, one of the directors of Raffles Furnishings, said that they emphasise on high-quality design that appeals at an affordable price, catering to the high demand for innovative modern tropical styles. Designs are done by Raffles Furnishings themselves, focusing on the contemporary while utilising solid wood and natural materials.

Major components for furniture include Indonesian teak, rattan and bamboo with other wood types from China and Sabah. Crafting is done both locally and in Indonesia. The vast majority are custom-made, though certain types are sold in bulk by the container. In addition to custom furnishing to match the interior design, Raffles can also source for antique wooden furniture and decorative items based on clients' needs.

Water features make use of materials like water hyacinth, and black stone fountains. In the showroom, you can find plenty of wood accessories, carvings, some Italian pottery, terracotta items, sculptures, and bronze Buddhas.

Services offered by Raffles Furnishings include the rendering of 3D design plans for homeowners and contractors. Their clientele spans from homes and hotels to restaurants, bars and shops.
