A Love of Chinese Culture and History

With Michael Ross’s love of Chinese culture and history and his experience of living and working in China for extended periods, it seems almost inevitable that he would open a business back home where he could express his love for all things Chinese and share that love with you. Living Red which he opened 8 months ago is just such a business.

Savings Forwarded To You

Michael and his Chinese business partner (who is located back in China) import antique and contemporary Chinese furniture dating back 400 years.

His partner has been exporting furniture to US and Europe for over 10 years and has the great advantage of being able to travel all over China and source from both the bigger centres and smaller out of the way places for unusual and different pieces.

They can buy at better prices and these savings are forwarded to you.

Appreciate Each Piece

Living Red brings a range of Chinese furniture which represents both old and new China, at very reasonable prices. Pieces are presented in such a way that you will enjoy looking around.

There is enough space so that you could easily navigate with a pram for example. Things can be seen and individual pieces can be appreciated for themselves rather than lost in a jumble.

All antique pieces are carefully labelled to distinguish them from more recently made pieces. If the label says its old then you can trust that it is.

 

A Sense of History

Wandering around in Living Red you can imagine where these beautiful and interesting pieces will fit in your own home. Each piece has its own character and sense of history. Each has been grounded in someone’s life.

Bringing them into your home is a true cultural exchange as the physical object becomes a part of your life and you contribute to its ongoing story.

Unique Designs

Living Red has a selection of Tibetan style pieces where the makers have used uniquely Tibetan colours and design motifs.

For example a modern piece such as a CD cabinet or wine cabinet can be made in traditional Tibetan style.

Living Red also has a range of statues for the garden, home décor and gifts, hat boxes, mirrors, buckets, jewellery boxes, food carriers, chests and alter tables.

A Gift From Living Red

Michael and his partner can source a piece or have it made to your personal requirements (with time considerations of course).

With Michael’s experience and knowledge of Chinese culture and symbolism he can advise you on design and selection of pieces. Lay by is available and there is also a gift registry.

With Christmas nearly upon us what better idea than a
gift certificate for someone you love so they too can enjoy the experience of Living Red.
