How does Bara-ka select its vintage furniture?
v
At Bara-ka, every piece of furniture is carefully curated by Céline, the founder and an experienced interior designer with over 15 years of expertise in luxury interior design. With her trained eye, Céline identifies unique vintage pieces that stand out for their history, design, or quality. She collaborates with trusted local suppliers to source second-hand and vintage furniture that exudes character, whether it’s due to its era, designer, or exclusive design.
What is vintage furniture?
v
Vintage furniture refers to pieces that are over 20 years old, giving them a distinctive and authentic character. For example, furniture from the 1950s, 60s, or 70s is considered vintage. These items often showcase iconic styles from their time and are typically made with high-quality materials.
What is the difference between vintage and second-hand furniture?
v
Second-hand furniture isn’t always vintage—it can include modern items that have simply been pre-owned. Vintage or antique furniture, however, always has a story to tell: it has been used in another home and is over 20 years old, making it rich in character and exclusivity.
