Re: Furniture Shops in Geneva
Post 5
If you don't mind antics / second hand stuff, and are not addicted to modern design, have a try at the local charity shops. You may find there some unique furniture for a very reasonnable price and cheaper than "made in china".
In these shops, caution when buying any piece of furniture possibly coming for Ikea, Conforama, etc. as the people working there have usually no idea of "price as new" and sell the stuff "second hand" almost as expensive as the original price (ex. have seen an Ikea billy bookcase in bad condition sold at 40.- when brand new is 49.-).
I've myself bought there a lovely ancient desk, a brass & cast XIXe bed, mirror, etc.
