Located in the heart of Bandar Sri Sendayan (Malaysia), d’Tempat Country Club is a luxurious venue offering a wide range of leisure options – spa, wellness centre, tennis courts, swimming pools… –, as well as restaurants and banqueting and celebration facilities. According to its developers, it is a “special place where everyone can relax in a pleasant and serene atmosphere”.
One of the most important areas of this exclusive club is its VIP lounge, where the highest-ranking members meet. This makes it essential that this room is designed according to its specific functions.
“The customer commissioned us to renovate the existing VIP lounge, keeping the orange and dark blue sofas and the two armchairs that were already in the room. Faced with the challenge of keeping this furniture, we proposed a unique design based on the combination of different materials and textures, as well as a new play of colours and lighting”, says Art 10 Design, the studio in charge of the renovation project.
In this way, what began as a limitation became an inspiration that ended up setting the two main colours of the space. The orange tone, for example, is repeated on a large table that serves both as a meeting point and for serving meals.
Silestone Arcilla Red: the perfect orange
“Given the orange colour of the furniture to be kept and the customer’s request for a top quality table, we opted for this Cosentino stone”, the studio says.
Specifically, the surface chosen was Silestone Arcilla Red, a deep, earthy red – a trendy shade in interior design this year – capable of creating cosy, warm spaces. This colour is echoed in other areas of the VIP lounge, such as the bar top and the adjacent refreshment area.
“Cosentino materials offered us a wide variety of colours to choose from and great durability”, the studio says. Indeed, Silestone is the most sustainable and cutting-edge hybrid surface of premium minerals available on the market and is manufactured with the exclusive and innovative HybriQ technology, making it highly resistant to stains and acids common in everyday use. In addition, it remains unaffected by scratches and impacts, which allows you to handle hard objects with total peace of mind and ensures easy maintenance.
Proof of this is shown in its 25-year warranty, a feature much appreciated by the studio: “Cosentino products are very good and reliable”, the studio finally says after using the brand’s products.
