Who we are

The representative body of Singapore’s furniture and furnishings industry


Established in 1981, the Singapore Furniture Industries Council (SFIC) is the official representative body of Singapore’s furniture and furnishings industry.

With over 300 members spanning four key clusters — manufacturers/interior fit-out specialists, retailers, designers, and materials/components/service providers — SFIC represents a sector with a collective global footprint in more than 80 countries.

As an aggregator and multiplier in the furniture ecosystem, we help members stay future-ready and globally competitive through internationalisation, innovation, networking and capital development initiatives. We also nurture the next generation of industry leaders through the SFIC Young Leaders Chapter.

SFIC Institute, the Council’s training and talent development arm, offers a comprehensive range of courses, masterclasses, consultancy services, and job placement programmes for the furniture ecosystem and built environment sectors.

We also represent Singapore in the ASEAN Furniture Industries Council (AFIC), fostering stronger intra-ASEAN collaboration and advancing the region’s collective competitive advantage in the global marketplace.
