Eastern Inspired Furniture

Eastern decor is simple, elegant and space saving! The essence behind eastern furniture is classicality of the design.  Eastern Furniture is known to be practical and compact, and at the same time stylish and sophisticated.

Background:

Since 17th Century, Eastern furniture and accessories are popular in Western style. It all became possible when Europeans began colonizing and trading with the east.  Though it’s not a well-known fact, but Southeast Asia (Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand), Korea and Taiwan are becoming major players on the world furniture production scene. Recently the home décor market has seen a surge of eastern inspired furniture.

Where to buy:

If you plan to buy eastern furniture and you have been to an eastern furniture market then you must have found that eastern furniture is sold at dirt cheap rate. But the freight cost for the same is an arm and a leg.

For people in UK:

After googling for the answer I found - Lombok and their online store to buy eastern inspired furniture. They have categorized the furniture well into three base sections namely Eat, Live, Sleep, And Work.  LOMBOK is well-known  for stylish Eastern inspired furniture including wooden beds, four poster beds, chests of drawers, dining tables, dining chairs, bookcases, coffee tables, and home accessories including baskets, cushions, lamps, lamp shades, throws and quilts, log baskets, candles and more.  The LOMBOK Company specializes in eastern inspired furniture and they are one of the best furniture manufacturers and distributors in the UK market.  They are also known to offer the best selection of quality products.

If you visit their online store: www.lombok.co.uk - It is easy for the customer to get to the right area. If you want to buy furniture related to work just go the work section and browse to the required furniture.

The Go Green thingy:

Lombok Furniture is made from reclaimed wood which makes them a green company. Also to add Lombok has an ethical policy to use natural, solid wood sourced with the environment in mind. They constantly make sure that the wood they are using is environmental friendly.  Their manufacturing unit is station in Vietnam and Indonesia. 

My Choice:

When I browsed through their website I liked their collection of log basket, lamp shades and laundry baskets. You might want to have to look at those and feel like loosening your pockets a bit on them. J
