DIFFERENT MODERN CLASSIC FURNITURE YOU C AN FIND WITH PICKET & RAIL, EUROSA
AND FEFCO COLLECTIONS. By Christine Ng
So, you’ve decided to move. Now you need to
decide the theme for your interior design. What
happens when there is not one, but a family of
decision-makers? The wife might like something
classic, yet the daughter opts for something more
modern. Who do you accommodate when both are
going to be living in the same house for the next
couple of good years? That’s when you go for the
best of both worlds, a fusion of both modern and
classic.
Now, you’ve decided. Where can you find them?
When one starts shopping for Modern Classics,
it can be a very trying experience. There are a
few well known local retailers who market a few
famous classics and there are the resellers of
branded classics who only sell the models that
they represent. Most have about 10 pieces on dis-
play at any one time. There is no one single com-
pany that has at least a hundred pieces in a single
showroom. Here’s where this article comes in
handy and you’re in for a treat! I’m not only going
to tell you where to get Western modern classics,
but also European as well as Oriental.
