Journey East
Curated designer, vintage and reclaimed teak furniture at Tan Boon Liat.
Journey East is a long-running Singapore furniture store located in Tan Boon Liat Building. Its catalogue spans original vintage furniture, reclaimed teak pieces, modern designer lighting, decor and brands such as dBodhi, United Strangers and Tala. The store is best suited to homeowners who want furniture with texture, provenance and character rather than a matching mass-market set. Its showroom carries in-stock designer and heritage pieces, with a clear leaning towards solid wood, sustainable materials and statement furniture for living and dining spaces.
Journey East is where we would send someone looking for a home that feels collected rather than showroom-matched. The vintage originals and reclaimed teak collections give it a point of view, while the newer designer lines keep it relevant for contemporary interiors. It is especially strong for dining tables, storage, occasional chairs and accent pieces. The honest trade-off is price and specificity: this is not the cheapest way to furnish a whole flat, and some pieces need the right room to shine.
Its depth in vintage, reclaimed wood and curated designer furniture gives it a distinct identity that few Singapore stores can match.
