Holiday hooray at FurnItalia

It is the season of giving and sharing. For our friends and loved ones, we need to give the best, a gift that solidifies and creates relationships. From the Temple of Italian Style in the Philippines, FurnItalia, comes an amazing array of new furniture to delight any individual of every conceivable taste and style. Serving as perfect gift ideas for the holiday season, these new masterpieces are not only conceived by the world’s most renowned design interpreters, they are also handcrafted by Italian artisans to last lifetimes.

For the 12 days of Christmas, FurnItalia managing director Florence Ko suggests giving more than a partridge but rather a timeless piece of class. “People who wish to make a big statement to the person they love go to FurnItalia and choose furniture that fits the recipient’s personality. You can never go wrong with authentic Italian furniture because it combines the best in quality and design,” she says.

Visit the FurnItalia showroom at 30th Street corner Rizal Drive, Crescent Park, West Bonifacio, Global City, Taguig City or call 819-1887.
