FEATURE BY AUDREY WONG 34 PICTURES BY RUDY AZWAN SAIRAN LAYOUT BY ASLIN SHUKOR PLATFORM For those who have long admired the stunning collection of kitchens from Symphony - United Kingdom’s largest privately-owned provider of fitted kitchens can rejoice in the fact that it has now reached our shores, made possible by Federal Furniture Lifestyle. A company synonymous with affordable and high quality imported modular kitchens, Federal Furniture Lifestyle is one of the oldest and most established furniture retailers in the country with a history that stretches back to more than 40 years. The company is also the sole distributor for Mirari, a high-end range of kitchens by the Symphony Group. To reflect Symphony’s exquisite style, Federal Lifestyle Furniture’s 1,700 sq-ft showroom in Bandar Puteri Puchong is fitted with more than 8 different kitchens for display. This spacious showroom is specially designed to showcase Symphony designers’ philosophy of combining space, colour, light and occasion to create the prefect living space of the kitchen. As one of the most recognised manufacturers throughout Europe that supplies to more than 1,000 outlets worldwide, the Symphony brand emphasises on creating kitchens that bring together all factors in perfect harmony. This is strongly reflected in more than 40 stylish collections, ranging from classic, time-honoured traditional timber designs to the modern and contemporary highgloss look. Variety is also an outstanding trait of Symphony, where it offers more than 50 types of cabinets and a wide selection of accessories to help create customised kitchens suited for each individual. 35 PLATFORM Modular Functions The design of a kitchen has to be complemented with the technical aspects, and this comes in the form of a wide array of features such as fully-concealed, adjustable wall hanging brackets, metal-sided drawer box with full extension and soft-close action, 18mm cabinets and internal shelving as well as 40mm worktops. Bored of the usual white interior cabinet finish? Symphony kitchens come with seven colour choices of interior cabinet finish that coordinate with the exterior finish, an option not readily available locally due to costs and logistics constraints. 36 Apart from that, the quality of installation is an aspect that is commonly overlooked when building a kitchen. The kitchen is only as good as the fitting standards, and customers can take comfort in the knowledge that their Symphony kitchens will be fitted by Federal Furniture Lifestyle’s team of installers who are specialists in their trade. In addition, customers can also enjoy free consultation for kitchen planning and a one-year warranty for all Symphony kitchens. PLATFORM The Perfect Kitchen If you’re wondering what makes the perfect kitchen, Symphony has the answers. Based on extensive global research, Symphony kitchens are all created with the right balance of space between units, influence of lighting, accumulative colour and most importantly, the function of the kitchen in mind. Finally, how the kitchen is used is what ultimately shapes it. The kitchen holds a different purpose for different people whether to cook, dine, celebrate, write, read or experiment - and it has to capture the unique meaning and capability for each user to ensure that it can be enjoyed for many years to come. In other words, space holds everything together and is the architecture that shapes everything you do. Colour selection is also important, as it carries an emotional, physiological and symbolic effect on us. Besides that, lighting also plays a part in transforming the shape and atmosphere of the kitchen, and to correctly illuminate it, the nature of light must be first understood.
