Katrin, Pascal and Peanut the dog, German
We didn’t want our living room to just have sofas and a coffee table. So, we chose to have a hand-carved and crafted bench made by Gallery 278 by Esco Leasing. It’s sculptural yet functional, serving as extra seating in our living room. It’s also a conversation piece for anyone who comes into our home.
We originally started leasing furniture from Gallery 278 when we came to Singapore but we fell in love with the pieces so we bought them! The store’s principal designer Felicia not only designed this bench, she also space-planned and helped with our home colour scheme.
When you buy from Gallery 278, you get to see where the wood was sourced and its sustainable background. We like that we can make responsible purchases and yet have custom-designed items that are unique.
Our Welle Bench is made completely from reclaimed solid wood. The design resembles a draping silk fabric carved out of a thick piece of wood plank to look soft and flowy. The master artisan has wonderfully captured the essence of a soft look, even with hardwood material. The effect is artistic and mesmerising, and the bench looks organic, blending in with our tranquil garden. Our whole family loves it, and it’s now Peanut’s favourite posing spot!
If you’re new to Singapore and unsure, you can always opt for leasing first and then buy. You’re sure to fall in love with their pieces – we’re about to add a bed frame to our Gallery 278 collection!
