Scanteak at Joo Chiat

Scanteak at Joo Chiat: The outlet first started at this iconic location...

Scanteak at Joo Chiat is the 400 square foot of land that Mr Lim’s empire started. It now spans more than 100 retail outlets and flagship stores in Germany, Singapore, Taiwan, Brunei, Japan, Canada and USA.

I remember my college days when I’d flip through furniture catalogues and select their beautifully crafted teakwood products to fill my imaginary future dream home, complete with perspective drawings.

Now, I have my dream home. The price has gone over my pocket book’s capability. Hello, IKEA, here’s to reality.
