Furnitures Love.

As promised, here is my list of designers' furniture stores!

1) Monticello

- LIGNE ROSET ,#01-01 Odeon Towers, 331 North Bridge Road, Singapore 188720
- ROLF BENZ, #01-01, 1 Magazine Road, Central Mall, Singapore 059567







Monticello website and Ligne Roset official website

I love love this place simply because they carry Rolf Benz and Ligne Roset who have both recently became my favourite brands. Every piece you find in Rolf Benz and Ligne Roset is clearly a well-thought design.

I love how comfort and design are interlinked together, especially in designs from Rolf Benz. This makes them not only gorgeous designs but also functional. Ligne Roset piece are all unique and interesting. They play with not just colours but also textures, which I find lovely.

Just looking at these makes me happy. :D


2) Three3three

Three3three is a lovely place that has interesting, one of a kind designs. They have very pretty and surprising piece that are great for people who loves something special.

3) Lush

Lush has got tons of famous designs from the Barcelona chair by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and the Eames Lounge chair by Charles and Ray Eames. They also have the amazing Ghost chair by Phillipe Stark.

I am not sure if they are replicas or the real McCoy though. :D Whatever, they still look absolutely gorgeous.


4) Marquis

- Marquis Studio, Great World City #02-15, 1 Kim Seng Promenade, Singapore 237994
- Minotti by Marquis Interior, 30 Hill Street, Singapore 179360

My favourite designs from here wasn't on the web, unfortunately. It is a very spectacular piece that was simple rectangular frames that goes through long thick pole and hung on it. It was asymmetrical and very simple but when i walked in and saw that, I immediately was impressed by it.

Personally, I think Marquis is better at the dark, rich and earthly look because of all their installations, I like this look the best. Maybe it was because of how the showrooms were decorated and designed. I really wasn't very impressed with their white look. The products seemed washed down by the arrangement and it reminds me of bad quality white chocolates.

Nonetheless, they do carry quite a couple of wonderful furnitures that are well designed.


5) Proof Living

- Ion Showroom, 2 Orchand turn, Ion Orchard, #03-15, Singapore 238801
- Stanford Showroom, Vanguard Building, 71 - 77 Stamford Road, Singapore 178895

This is relatively new in Ion but it's a great place! It has absolutely real and completely genuine designer pieces that are of superb quality. They have the Barcelona chair as well, my brother-in-law and I were absolutely excited at the sight of it. :D


FINALLY. :D It took my ages to do this post.
