New shop: Anything but Ordinary

A new furniture shop has opened in the Thailand resort town of Hua Hin that promises to offer “anything but ordinary” items to its customers.

Joachim and Matt (pictured) held the grand opening of their new shop in Hua Hin, Urban Living Furniture on Petchkasem Road Soi 38, next to the Plearn Wan shopping village last weekend, and are welcoming retail and wholesale customers to their showroom for a closer look at their range of carefully selected furniture.

After the planned acquisition of an existing furniture shop did not materialise, Joachim and Matt were very pleased to have found a new and modern location on Petchkasem Road that provides an ideal environment to signify their chosen brand, “Urban Living”.

An urban lifestyle feeling can be illustrated by a selection of trendy, modern to contemporary home and outdoor furniture, as well as accessories for which suppliers were chosen who focus on quality rather than quantity, pay attention to details and have tight quality control protocols in place.

After a thorough research of local furniture offers, the new business owners identified a niche for furniture styles that are best labelled as ‘Scandinavian’. It stands for innovative, minimalistic, stylish and solid elegance that will give a home a distinct and tasteful ambience of modern urbanity, and inspired them to develop their company motto “Anything but Ordinary”.

Joachim and Matt have also high ambitions to establish their business as an integrated furniture solution provider to wholesale customers, and feedback from pre-marketing meetings with property developers and private chats at business network meetings encouraged the duo to roll out their concept to a wider audience as soon as their retail business is established.

Retail customers will be assisted in making the best choices for their home, whether it is a condo or a house. Matt stands by to help select a furniture style, fabric or colour that not only blends into a home but also meets the individual preference of a customer. On request he will also visit a home to provide ideas for creating a new home ambience within a given budget.

Overall, furniture shoppers in Hua Hin will appreciate the new start-up of Urban Living Furniture, not only because its concept is geared towards new lifestyle trends and the desire of developers to see more creativity in furniture package solutions, but also because it offers modern and stylish, and more upmarket furniture, that shoppers would otherwise only find in Bangkok.
