Having set up Fine
TFurniture in August 2013, today, Fine Furniture occupies a niche in the local market, providing speciality solutions with cutting edge European designs for interior spaces.
“When we started Fine Furniture a few years ago, it was answering an obvious need for great kitchens, luxury interior products and furniture that represent the lifestyle of the upwardly mobile, modern Sri Lankan.
Furthermore with the real estate boom which has resulted in several international developers such as Clearpoint Residencies, Destiny, and Shangrila etc, flocking to Sri Lanka, not forgetting local entrepreneurs like Blue Mountain the need for furniture and fittings of an international standard has increased exponentially; hence our decision to expand and upgrade,” he said.
The store has partnerships with some of the most luxurious European home brands such as Koinor, Pacific Green, Flexa, Loddenkemper, Alpa Salotti, Häcker Kitchens, Bosch, Miele, Brandt, Bovictus Metaltex, Eurographic and Masterlight.
