ISLANDLIVING (commonly branded as Island Living) is a Singapore-based furniture and home décor brand that specializes in tropical, coastal, and nature-inspired interiors. The company offers sustainably sourced furniture, handcrafted home accessories, and lifestyle products designed to bring the relaxed atmosphere of island living into modern homes. Since its founding in 2019, the brand has become known for its use of natural materials such as reclaimed teak wood, rattan, linen, cotton, and stone, with a focus on sustainability, craftsmanship, and timeless design.[1]

Island Living was established in Singapore in 2019 with the vision of making tropical-inspired interior design accessible to homeowners seeking a calm, natural aesthetic. The company was co-founded by designer Karin Rysgaard and former public relations consultant Denise Vrontas, who aimed to create a furniture brand that combined contemporary design with environmentally conscious materials.[1]

From its inception, the brand emphasized handcrafted furniture and sustainable sourcing, particularly through reclaimed teak wood and responsibly harvested rattan. Over time, Island Living expanded its product catalog to include indoor and outdoor furniture, decorative accessories, lighting, mirrors, textiles, and home styling collections.[1]

Island Living’s design philosophy centers on creating interiors that evoke the tranquility and warmth of tropical destinations. Its collections blend:[1]
