A Swedish design icon engineered for real life.

Produced at their local weaving mill in Leksand, Dalarna, Pappelina rugs combine Scandinavian heritage with exceptional functional resilience. Woven on traditional shuttle looms using REACH®-certified, non-toxic PVC ribbon, they handle high-traffic areas, kitchens, bathrooms, and tropical balconies without breaking down.

Why Pappelina belongs in your space:

🇸🇪 Swedish Craftsmanship: Entirely conceived and crafted in Sweden—from the raw material and design to traditional loom-weaving by devoted artisans.

🧼 Effortless Maintenance: Non-absorbent and colourfast. Rinse down with water, wipe with a damp cloth, or machine wash cold at 30°C—even with regular detergents.

🌿 Certified Non-Toxic & Hypoallergenic: Free from phthalates and heavy metals, using materials approved for the food and toy industries. Traps zero dust or allergens, making it asthma-friendly.

☀️ UV & Moisture Resistant: Scores a 4/5 on international UV colourfast testing (ISO 105-A05) under strong sun. Dries within 60 minutes and will never trap dampness or mould in Singapore’s humidity.

⏳ Built to Last: Reversible, non-slip, and backed by a 3-year warranty—designed for a lifetime of daily use rather than seasonal replacement.

Explore the full spectrum of woven patterns, runners, and large area rugs in person at our showroom, or shop online at journeyeast.com.

Even when the haze rolls in, staying home doesn't have to feel like a compromise.

A quiet Saturday inside quickly reveals what your space is made of. You notice which chairs were merely bought to look at, and which ones you actually want to sink into. Which surfaces have real warmth underhand, and why staying in on a weekend shouldn’t feel like you’re waiting out bad weather.

Make the inside worth staying for:

🛋️ Built to Live In: Deep leather seating and sculpted armchairs made for long, uninterrupted hours.
🪵 Tactile Wood: Sustainable reclaimed teak dining tables, consoles, and shelving —crafted with rich grain, honest joinery, and grounded proportions.
✨ Everyday Accents: Playful colours, textured runners, and design statement pieces that give four walls actual life.

Your weekend sanctuary, sorted.

A day behind the lens capturing our freshest vintage arrivals—so new they haven’t even made it to our website yet.

Fuelled by fish and chips, precise prop adjustments, and a cold pint at the wrap. Big love to the dream crew: Dju-Lian Chng of The Primay Studio behind the camera and Betty Wong of We Are Design Superheroes on styling.

🏷️ 15% off on orders up to $2,999
🏷️ 20% off on purchases of $3,000 and above

Every piece is a one-of-a-kind original built from solid aged teak—once it’s claimed, it’s gone.

We told marketing we sell solid wood furniture, not race cars.
Marketing told us "everyone loves race week, just make it work."

🏎️ Optimal Downforce: Precision-tuned vintage accent chairs built for long endurance stints (lounging).
💨 Straight-Line Speed: Blistering fast delivery on authentic solid teak consoles and tables.
🏆 Podium Specials: Up to 30% off selected showroom stock before the chequered flag drops.

From 3 to 18 October, our original vintage collection opens for a rare seasonal promotion:
🏷️ 15% off orders up to $2,999

Spanning the 1920s to the 1960s, every design in this archive is a hand-restored original—commissioned across the Midcentury Modern and Art Deco eras, crafted from old, solid teak, and defined by decades of earned patina.

Because these are one-of-a-kind originals, once a piece is sold, it’s gone.

Flipping through a crate of records, pulling a sleeve from the pack, and studying the artwork up close—the physical ritual of collecting music is something digital streaming has never replaced.⁠
⁠
For nearly ten years, Vinylsavedmylife has championed that hands-on pursuit of physical music. While they now anchor four store-in-store spaces across Singapore, their pop-ups remain an intimate forum where collector culture, vintage formats, and community naturally align.⁠
⁠
This weekend, they bring something truly exceptional to our showroom floor: an original 78 RPM player, alongside a rare selection of original Chinese 78 shellac discs. Spanning these historic early recordings through to vinyl, cassettes, and classic CDs, their crates invite you to experience music across distinct technological eras.⁠
⁠
Dig through their curated crates exclusively at The Vintage Fair 2026.⁠
⁠
In the crates & on display:⁠
🎶 An original working 78 RPM player with rare Chinese 78 shellac discs⁠

When 1960s European modernism called for stripped-back minimalism, regional Asian woodworkers interpreted the Midcentury blueprint through a distinct cultural lens.⁠
⁠
Rather than settling for unadorned surfaces, a Javanese master carpenter saw an opportunity to demonstrate generational pride. Combining mid-mod proportions and tapered pencil legs with regional chisel work, he detailed every shelf lip, drawer rim, and frame edge with continuous, hand-carved scalloping.⁠
⁠
This rare piece embodies the dialogue at the heart of our vintage collection: the intersection of Western mid-century silhouettes, Asian artisanal individuality, and honest material provenance.⁠
⁠
🪵 Solid Aged Wood: Crafted from old, solid teak with an earned patina, warmth, and depth naturally created over decades.⁠
🔪 Generational Handcraft: Every single scallop was carved by hand from solid teak—softening the linear profile and catching ambient light across its rhythmic indentations.⁠
📐 Asymmetric Layout: A considered composition pairing an enclosed cupboard and tiered display shelves with an open vertical-slat wing on the left, letting natural light filter freely through the side profile.⁠
⁠
Circa 1950s–1960s. An original, one-of-a-kind vintage statement holding the character and pride of the craftsman who built it.⁠
⁠
Now available for viewing at our showroom.⁠
