This furniture line will make you feel like a Roman emperor due to its comfort and sleek designs
By Poch Eulalia
When it comes to living lavishly, none have done it better than the ancient Romans have.
Dinner parties were the norm for the elite with every host trying to upstage the other through grand preparations. Think tables filled with exquisite feasts akin to modern-day buffet tables and jugs of wine served like bottomless iced tea.
Parties were considered such an important affair that even small details such as the seating arrangements were given immediate attention. Imagine key figures of the community seated in reclined chairs among their peers, discussing politics and business while they feast.
In the modern day, Fendi Casa has focused on emulating the grandiosity brought about by the ancient Romans through its latest furniture line.
Through partnering with Focus Global Inc., the renowned interior and home lifestyle retailer in the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia, Fendi Casa showcased its latest collection through a 220-square-meter showroom.
Every piece of furniture is crafted with Fendi’s iconic codes and signature features, with arches made to channel the emblematic sequence of the Palazzo Fendi in Rome.
