Raffles Place celebrates with 60 new #RPchairs

Feel at home truly with our fourth instalment of #RPchairs. In celebration of Singapore’s 60th birthday, Raffles Place Alliance has rolled out 60 brand new #RPchairs in Raffles Place Park!

Dressed in bold red, the chairs add a vibrant pop of colour to the Central Buzz District. Each one features our own personal touch — a customised print that makes them distinctly one-of-a-kind.

Emblazoned with the words “I ❤ Raffles Place”, the new chair design comprises a red perforated fabric stretched over lightweight frames that are water resistant and built to last.

They are perfect for a quiet breather, a break in the sun, or as a relaxing spot to unwind with colleagues and friends!

Alongside these new additions to the park are our unique “O” benches and Cube-Pods, which belong to previous editions of our #RPchairs’ series.

Both the “O” benches and Cube-Pods are playful twists on the everyday park bench—complete with a canopy to keep you cool under the sun or dry in a tropical downpour. They also double as tables for a quick bite or as a free-to-use workspace.

The “O” benches are set up in front of One Raffles Place while the Cube-Pods can be found on the lawns closest to Battery Road.
