The Singapore Furniture Industries Council (SFIC) held its second edition of the Sol Awards, honouring homegrown furniture makers and craftsmen
The Singapore Furniture Industries Council (SFIC) is making a change by honouring the homegrown makers who have quietly shaped spaces without clamouring for the spotlight. Held in late October, the second edition of SFIC’s Sol Awards celebrated winners across six categories: All-Star Enterprise Award, Experiential Excellence Award, New Entrant Award, Outstanding Individual Award, Sustainability Leaders Recognition, and Workforce Transformation Award. The honourees reflect the diversity and depth of Singapore’s furniture scene.
Redwood Interior clinched the All-Star Enterprise Award thanks to its outstanding compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.4 per cent between 2022 and 2024, reflecting robust profitability, operational excellence, and sustainable growth.
