Add a splash of colour to your Spanish home by mixing furniture and fabrics.
Furniture Home | Furniture Shops | Garden Furniture | Furniture Packing Andalucia exports nearly 100 million euros in furniture
every year - and this is only 14 per cent of the area's overall
furniture production. Combine the region's prolific production with
a burgeoning import market - especially in areas heavily populated
by foreigners - and you can be sure to find everything you will
need to furnish your home.
And even if you are very well traveled, you will
be hard-pushed to think of a place with more interior designers
and furniture shops than the Costa del Sol, and Marbella in particular.
With a great selection of the finest brands and qualities of
furniture
- not only from Andalucía but the world around, as well as
accessories and top quality designers and decorators - this is decoration
paradise. Virtually all the top furniture houses, from Fendi and
Roche Bobois to Kettal and Christian's, have local outlets to compliment
the myriad of styles offered in the many little antique shops and
specialised furniture shops. Here you can opt for rustic Andalusian,
Spanish renaissance, Moorish, Indian, Oriental or modern furniture
- or an eclectic mix that reflects your own style and tastes.
Andalusian architectural style is derived from a
blend of the region's Moorish and Mediterranean traditions, yet
its traditional furniture has all the robust solidity typical of
country life. There are four main regions to visit if you are looking
for furnishings made in Andalusia: Ronda, Cordoba, Jaen and Seville.
In Ronda area
oak and pine predominate, and the fine pieces produced in this area
have become synonymous with Andalusian country furniture. Here artisans
produce a range of charming pieces that will appeal especially to
those interested in rustic styles.
The centre for furniture production in Córdoba
is the town of Lucena. Low cost pine furnishings from this area
attract shoppers from across the province as well as the coast.
However, rustic pine is not the only product this town has to offer
as at least one major manufacturer specialises in exact replicas
from the Spanish renaissance period.
Jáen is
a longer journey from the booming coastal markets, for instance,
but well known to bargain hunters seeking the lower prices to be
found in this interior region. Towns in this area that are known
for producing artisan style pieces are Andujar, Jídar, Linares,
Santa Elena and Torredonjimeno, while the town of Úbeda is
well known to antique collectors.
Finally, Seville
is known for its furniture mainly because of the large number of
manufacturers representing all styles of furniture that make their
home in Andalucía's capital city. Often, pieces ordered from
other parts of the region come from Seville.
While interior towns and regions are known for producing
furniture, the Costa del Sol is still one of the best places to
shop. However, in contrast to many other parts of Europe, most cities,
Marbella, for instance, tend to feature small and specialised furniture
shops, with relatively few large chain outlets. Some areas, such
as Mijas, near Fuengirola, however, are seeing a boom in superstore
outlets. And Marbella's La Cañada shopping mall and Puerto
Banus commercial centre, for instance, are also seeing a growing
number of larger suppliers for the home decoration market.
