Experience centres to pick appropriate modular furniture

01 Jul 2019 Editorial Team

Why would a designer opt for modular furniture?

With modular furniture, we have a wide variety of furniture (in shape, size and colour) to choose from with pre-set standards of quality, finish and durability, explains Bijayini Dash, Studio Head, Designqube Bangalore.

Picking the right combination is easier nowadays as most modular furniture vendors like IKEA offer experience centres where the client can see the product before buying. “In such cases, the interior design process becomes more about smart placement and coordination,” observes Dash. “The combinations thus chosen are more likely to click.”
