Sofas are much more than a place to perch our
derrières while we catch up with
Game of Thrones
.
As a focal point within one of the key rooms in the
house, a sofa is an important reflection of our home
and lifestyle.

behind why they chose their sofas.
colours and customisation you could
get from Vince made me decide to get
in touch with him.
Vince was patient when listening to
our wishes. We decided on a Slettvoll
design, which is well known back home,
but often very expensive. We chose a
classic but modern design, and ended
up with two two-and-a-half-seaters in a
good quality, light-grey fabric.
The design and colour fit with the
Nordic style that we had chosen for our
home. The light grey wooden floor, the
dark grey, high-gloss kitchen and the
white walls were a perfect match. The

After three years in Singapore we
moved back to Bergen, Norway, in
2011, to our fully renovated house by the
sea. Our new home needed furniture,
and so we started the hunt here for a
sofa to take back, as well as barstools
for our kitchen.
I first heard of “Sofa” Vince of
Centrepiece Furnishing frommy friends,
some of whom were ordering sofas,
chairs, dining chairs, headboards and
benches for their homes or mountain
cabins. All the talk about designs,
five barstools that were made for our
kitchen were painted in the same colour,
and the seats got turquoise covers to
take in the colours from the view of the
sea outside our big kitchen windows.
Now we are back in Singapore, along
with the two sofas, which are a match for
the grey marble floor and white walls in
our Sentosa home. We will definitely get
Vince to make more items for us.
