no 24; Home Furniture on Consignment
25 June 2009
When you are on the move, you can’t always take your favourite furniture with you. Thankfully if that once perfect piece just won’t fit with your new living space, there is now a smart way to part with it. A fresh concept in Australia, Home Furniture on Consignment now makes it easy to sell your quality pre-owned designer furniture.
Aware of the popularity of consignment selling in his native California, Scott Faso teamed up with Charles Hardingham to deliver Sydneysiders the same convenient service. The simple process sees a contract price agreed to, the furniture removed to the showroom and a cheque delivered upon its sale. Far less complex than attempting to sell furniture yourself and far more profitable than selling at auction, it is little wonder that Home Furniture on Consignment has become a runaway success.
It is not only those selling that see the benefits. With a large ever-changing inventory, buyers are able to pick up fabulous high end pieces with price tags that don’t climb into the stratosphere. Some of the items are fresh from display homes and have seen almost no use. Others are ‘as new’ pieces from famous brand names such as B&B Italia, Poliform, Herman Miller, Cassina, Minotti, Kartell, Ligne Roset and Jardan.
Buying pre-owned furniture doesn’t only help the wallet. For Scott Faso one of the best aspects of his business is its environmental impact. “With so much excellent furniture already in circulation, it makes perfect environmental sense for home owners to recycle rather than continually buying new.”
