Delta Coast Sofa, King Living
Cover One of our top quiet luxury furniture picks is the minimalist yet inviting Delta Coast Sofa from King Living

You may think your friends and colleagues are living just like everyone else, but if you spot these sophisticated items in their homes, there's a good chance they're hiding their wealth behind the minimalist subtlety of quiet luxury furniture

Where some people are embracing the Mob Wife aesthetic and the once again rising trends of maximalism and opulent design, many in Singapore’s wealthiest strata still prefer to keep their net worth under wraps, living in so-called stealth wealth. Stealth wealth is characterised by its subtlety, with proponents opting for quality materials and understated designs instead of loud, visibly branded garments.

Another key element of stealth wealth? A private and understated residence, concealed from the public eye, furnished with a curated selection of quiet luxury furniture, often sourced from some of Singapore’s most upscale retailers. The next time you visit your friends and colleagues, keep an eye out for the pieces below—you may just uncover someone’s secret fortune.
