Shehara Dias, Sri Lankan
We had some key considerations when it came to buying a new sofa; they included quality and craftsmanship, contemporary design elements, and affordability and value for money.
I was initially referred to Gallery 278 by a friend, and subsequently by Expat Living, and I went along in the first instance back in 2017 to get two accent chairs custom-made for my living room. I had seen a design I liked in Sri Lanka, and I wanted them to replicate the same. They did a wonderful job in recreating my vision - I was 100 percent satisfied.
So, in 2020, when it came time for me to upgrade my sofas, going back to Gallery 278 was a no-brainer. Once again, I showed them the sofa design and aesthetic I was interested in, and true to form they delivered. Based on my apartment layout I wanted a four-seater sofa and a three-seater ottoman, both in the same fabric and colour. I absolutely love the final product!
One of the main reasons I keep going back to Gallery 278 is because of Sara Leow. She has been a warm and awesome salesperson to work with right from the start, and has gone above and beyond to help me achieve my vision with each visit. I'd also like to mention Felicia, who personally helped me envision the entire look of the final products and how they would fit into my home space from a design perspective. All in all, it's been a truly warm and personalized shopping experience.
Next on the agenda at Gallery 278 is an upgrade of my dining table chairs. I'm looking through design inspirations as we speak!
