vintage-style furniture - where to go in Geneva/France?

I am keen to buy some new furniture for my place. I would love to get hands on a nice vintage-style working desk to start with. However, vintage / shabby chic selection at the usual Geneva canditates Ikea, Conforama, Interio, is really really limited. 


Does anybody know some other stores ether in Geneva or cross-boarder? I found some nice desks at Maisons du Monde but would appreciate some more suggestions. 


Just not too expensive please :).


Thank you!

Look on Leboncoin after focusing on the Rhone Alpes area and then narrowing your search down to the France/Switzerland border area. Quite some bargains to be had.


Or else if you have a car, you can always look on Ricardo by typing into the box your exact requirements.


Good luck - viel Glück

Try the second hand / chaity shops in Geneva. search 'brocante geneve'.


They generally have a high turnover of goods.

Just a word of caution: 2nd hand furniture can be a vector to bed bugs infestation, a repulsive nuisance on the rise lately in Geneva.

This advice is worth heeding.


I have friends whose flat got infested and ALL their furniture, clothes, documents, etc., had to be destroyed.
