The hotel features a selection of unusual and classic chairs from the owner’s private collection. Highlights include a Joseph Hoffman ‘Kubus’ sofa designed in 1910, vintage Eames LCW and DCW chairs dating from 1946, Arne Jacobsen ‘Swan’ and ‘Egg’ chairs, a pair of Poul Vaoulther ‘Corona’ chairs, vintage Pierre Paulin ‘Tulip’ chairs, a Hans Wagner ‘Bear’ chair and the Verner Panton chair. The pride of 1929, almost all the chairs are genuine, vintage and unique pieces.

A sense of history is evoked as you walk down the corridors of 1929, with a wide showcase of B&W archival photos of olden-day Singapore from the early 20th century. 1929 is now protected as a ‘conservation’ building, preserved for its historical architecture, which grows increasingly rare in modern Singapore.
