Can you share some exciting residential or commercial projects that you’ve worked on? Or key clients?
Our furniture offerings have traditionally appealed to AV and electrical retailers. Our Entertainment Units have been designed to accommodate the rapid rollout of larger TV panels since the release of Flat Panel TVs. Our furniture incorporates the use of new AV technology whilst remaining aesthetically pleasing, and our focus moving forward will be across all rooms within a home.
We’re delighted you will be exhibiting at AIFF in 2023. What can visitors to the event expect to see?
We will be showcasing our new and exciting solid wood furniture at this year’s AIFF show. Our booth will display seven new Criterion ranges of furniture, along with RVM’s Tauris branded products, specialising in entertainment units. We look forward to seeing you at AIFF! Our stand number is N52.
