Pieces are designed and made in Singapore so they have full control over the process, making for unique furniture that combine comfort with keen aesthetics.

Clients for local woodworking mavericks Roger&Sons include P.S. Cafe and craft agency The General Co. They work with primarily wood, although other materials like metal and marble come in to complement designs that can range from workdesks and kitchen islands, to even headphone casings. While they also work with conventional lumber like teak, nyatoh, and pallet wood, Roger&Sons champion an eco-conscious mindset. The “ethical makers” have started the The Local Tree Project, an initiative to raise awareness about, and make use of the trees in Singapore that have been cut down to make way for urban development.
