Coffee Table

We are still searching for the perfect coffee table to complement our living room furniture. Been to a host of furniture shops e.g. Space Furniture, Haus Living, Vianni Mobili, Harvery Norman, Miva Furniture, Courts Mammoth, Ikea, Xtra, Gudang, Boconcept and XZQT.

Recently we were at XZQT Pavilion and the salesman there showed me a catalogue with their latest designer coffee table. 

Wow, very eye-catching! The table has sleek clean lines with rounded edges and has a certain retro-ish look to it. Storage area below and easy to maintain. 

The table is made in high quality smooth polyehylene (a hard wearing and fade resistant material) using a rotational moulding technique to create those smooth edges. The table can also be used outdoors.

Designed by Matthias Demacker under Bonaldo. We are keen to purchase the white (outside)/grey (inside) colour combination. The showroom model is at 30% discount whereas ordering a new one, we get 25% discount. As we are existing customers (purchased my dining table from them), we get additional 5% off on top of the 25% discount. 

The other coffee table which we were also keen to purchase is the Functional Table by Boconcept (RM3195), Bangsar Shopping Center.

Master Bedroom

Ordered my queen size bed from Harvey Norman, Mid-Valley Megamall. We selected the type of bedhead that we wanted and also the bed base as there are a few designs available for mix and match.  The bedframe is made from PU leather and we chose cream color.

The bedhead has 2 storage compartments - good for storing blankets, quilts or extra pillows.

Bed base has 4 pull-out drawers (2 on each side) - good for storing bags, bedsheets, pillows etc. Price: RM2300 inclusive of delivery and installation.

Purchased the bedside tables from Harvey Norman as well at the Ikano branch. The bedside tables are made from leather and were on clearance price. RM938 for both. Color matches very well with the bed. Most importantly, it's all soft without and sharp edges.

Dining Table & Chairs

XZQT delivered and installed the Calligaris Planet White dining table. Tempered glass top is super clear without any greenish bluish hue hence the name - Planet White. The table diameter is 120cm. Very sturdy and solid.

Here is the table photographed with 5 white Panton dining chairs which were bought from Space Furniture (Bangsar).

Karlsson Clock

Decided to go clock shopping on Christmas day. We had trouble finding a parking spot at Pavillion KL due to the holiday madness but it was worth it cos we found a clock that both of us liked very much!

I've researched online and found out that Molecule stocks Karlsson clocks. Karlsson is a renowned Dutch clock brand with a team of creative designers.

Our 'love at first sight' : Karlsson Station Numbers Hologram Clock in White.

Retail price : RM336 but Molecule is having a sale and the clock is on 15% discount = RM285. It's named as such for its similarity to station clocks found in Europe. This polished steel clock encorporates holographic numbers floating over the top of the hour markers. The the Station Numbers Hologram clock was designed by Dutch designers Ruben van Boxtel & Reinier Buijs for Karlsson. Depending on the angle you view it from, the face either shows simple hash marks or numerals around the dial. Size is 30cm in diameter. I hope it would look great in the living room or dining room or kitchen!

The Panton Chair

Booked our dining table : Planet White by Calligaris at XZQT (1U) last week but still quite undecided on the dining chairs..... that is until we sat on the Panton chair.

The iconic Panton chair matches the Planet White dining table perfectly. We will be getting it from Space Furniture, Bangsar. Promo on now : RM1360 for 2 Panton chairs. Tried it and it was really comfy. Designed by Vernon Panton in 1959 and constructed by Vitra from a single piece of plastic. Available in a myriad of colors but we will just go for the ever popular white.

Harvey Norman Mix & Match PU Bed Set

Decided on a PU bed set from Harvery Norman instead of the Ikea bedframe. Harvey Norman has a number of choices available for the divan & bedhead so that you can mix & match accordingly.

The one we decided has 4 storage drawers : 2 on each side of the divan. The bedhead also has 2 storage compartments. Decided on creamy white for the set. Total cost : RM2238 (after 20% discount). Free delivery and installation. 12-months Interest free installments for all major credit cards.

Sofa Shopping

Hubby and I went around a few furniture showrooms along Jalan Universiti, PJ.

There's Thames but they don't sell leather sofas..... then there's Viani Mobili who does.... but no installment plan available.... hmmm......... Lastly, we went into Miva but none was suitable. We also went to Lorenzo but I find the prices there quite expensive and none of the sofas seem suitable for our place. Finally, it was Rozel's flagship store along Old Klang Road that has the best selection of dining tables and leather sofas.

Booked my 1+2+3 full leather sofa  from Rozel: genuine white full leather sofa with chrome legs. The sofa will be custom made within 3 weeks. Damage to the wallet? RM5990 with 12 months interest free installments. 

Paid a 30% deposit for the Mitsubishi Hikari fridge as well : RM6980 best price from MG Electric SS2, PJ (D'Legend's next door competitor).  Bought my front-loading washer from Jaya Jusco Mid Valley Megamall during the J-card Day. Price is RM2789 for the NV168 from Panasonic - this price is after a 10% discount from the normal retail price of RM3099. Received RM280 worth of cash vouchers.

Dining Table

Found this marble table on the internet at Timeless Design : Hella Tulip Table (RM3499). The saleslady was prepared to give me a 10% discount of the retail price but unfortunately the marble top has brownish streaks which I didn't like very much.

Next up is the Planet White Dining Table from Calligaris, available at XZQT 1 Utama.

The table top is tempered glass. Very solid & sturdy table with a larger round base. Diameter is 120cm and height, 75cm. Absolutely beautiful and the price to pay is RM3934 inclusive of RM110 for delivery and installation.The price is 25% off the retail price and the sales guy is willing to give me an additional 5% off.

Will most likely settle for this table, also available in marble top, black glass top and wood top, with chrome pedestal base. Now, I am contemplating which dining chair will match the table best.

Pictured above is the Alchemia chair. Another option is the Ice chair below - available in transparent finish, white gloss finish etc. The frame is also available in matt satin silver finish or white powder coated steel. Still can't decide which design to choose.
