Eastern Inspired Furniture Washington DC

Designs with a variety of Far Eastern influences deliver practical, yet sometimes complex looks. Hooker's entertainment cabinet, for example, has a distinctively Asian flair, as does one of Magnussen Home's new low-slung occasional tables. Saccaro puts a distinct contemporary stamp on its Asian-inpired Santa Barbara chair, while JSP makes an exotic statement with its wrap-around bar.
