Great buys and good causes

IKEA

The Swedish furniture retailer's new minimalist OMTӒNKSAM ergonomic collection ($1.90 to $849) is now available online and in stores, featuring a range of furnishing solutions that emphasises Ikea's care for its customers.

Designed in collaboration with ergonomics experts and physiotherapists and following the quintessential Scandinavian design ethos in terms of colours and materials, OMTӒNKSAM was created based on statistical data of body measurements.

Products include the two-seat sofa, with a high backrest and angled for optimum seating comfort, which pairs perfectly with the multi-cushion to relieve pressure in various places.

COURTS

The leading retailer of home electronics, IT and furniture products continues its commitment to give back to the community by raising $727,183 for local charitable organisations.

This is the largest amount raised through Courts' charitable endeavours to date and represents a milestone for the company's CSR efforts.

The funds raised through Courts' 2018 annual charity golf tournament went to Rainbow Centre Singapore, while funds raised through its 2018 annual charity party were donated to Cerebral Palsy Alliance Singapore and Habitat for Humanity Singapore.
