05. Arflex Ben Ben Sofa
Restoring the original 1974 Bengodi model, Cini Boeri’s Ben Ben sofa for Arflex balances generous proportions with cushioned comfort. Perera calls it “a foolproof sofa where comfort is key,” noting it as his go-to for “a democratic lounge (for families!)—comfort above all else.”

08. Porter’s Paints Bluefin
For paint, Perera turns to Australian-founded Porter’s Paints, known for hand-crafted finishes with high pigment content. “Their colours have real depth and feeling,” he says, singling out Bluefin—or “Brem blue”—as a long-standing favourite.

11. Alessi Kettle 9093
“I like the ritual of making tea—not quickly,” Perera says. Designed by American architect Michael Graves for Alessi, the 9093 kettle is cast in polished stainless steel and finished with its signature bird-shaped whistle.
12. Sub-Zero Classic Series Side-by-Side Refrigerator/Freezer
For refrigerators, Perera values their longevity and performance. Built by American appliance brand Sub-Zero, the Classic Series side-by-side refrigerator/freezer uses semi-commercial cooling technology within a stainless steel profile.
