SINGAPORE: Singapore will showcase locally-designed furniture at the upcoming Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit next month.

Leaders of the 21 economies will be settling comfortably into chairs crafted out of wood from North American oak trees.

The organisers hope such furniture will give the summit a touch of class.

Moreover, the furniture is not just about form without function. The coffee table, for example, will have enough space for delegates to place their files and refreshments.
