That&rsquo;s why the focus of award-winning father-son business, Icon by Design<em>,<\/em> is on the simple elegance of <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iconbydesign.com.au\/\">Scandinavian furniture<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">David and Adam Lightare the co-founders of Icon by Design, and the third and fourth generation of the Light family to have been involved in the furniture industry. &ldquo;For us,&rdquo; says David, &ldquo;it represents a heritage of craftsmanship and quality.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&ldquo;In a society that has seen an evolution from solid wood to manufactured wood, we&rsquo;ve taken a move back to solid furniture,&rdquo; he continues. Take one look at the <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iconbydesign.com.au\/dining-room-furniture\/\">Scandinavian dining room furniture<\/a> and you&rsquo;ll see very quickly why Icon by Design is at the forefront of what is bound to become a furniture revolution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bucking the trend of today&rsquo;s disposable society, every single piece at Icon by Design&mdash;from living room furniture through to <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iconbydesign.com.au\/tables\/\">Scandinavian tables<\/a>&mdash;is well constructed and hand-made. According to Co-Founder, Adam Light, &ldquo;we&rsquo;re trying to make beautiful, well-made and timeless furniture accessible to more people.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And when a business can supply <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iconbydesign.com.au\/\">Scandinavian designer furniture<\/a> in solid timber at the prices most people charge for veneer, they&rsquo;re certainly onto something.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For Icon by Design, it&rsquo;s all about the clean, minimalist designs of Scandi furniture. The firm is confident that while trends and designs will doubtless change over the years, elegance and beauty will always be a constant. That&rsquo;s why it is certain customers will enjoy their furniture as much in30 years as they do today.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With such a progressive business, it should come as no surprise that sustainability has its place among the company&rsquo;s values. Every piece, including a wide range of <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iconbydesign.com.au\/seating\/\">Scandinavian chairs<\/a> and Scandinavian bedroom furniture, is made from oak and walnut that has been sourced from FSC-certified forests in America. That means the wood must meet stringent standards, including replanting where necessary.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Spearheading the revolution back to real timber isn&rsquo;t the only way the firm&mdash;with two shops in Sydney and one in Melbourne&mdash;is innovating. Its supply chain is very different from most furniture retailers, and therein lies the reason it can offer quality and Scandinavian design at such affordable prices.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Adam Light says &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve cut out the middle man.We&rsquo;re buying straight from the factory for the end consumer, effectively bringing Scandinavian furniture to themat wholesale prices&rdquo;. What&rsquo;s more, the company has found a way that customers can benefit from even lower prices. By pre-ordering their furniture, it saves the cost of warehousing&mdash;a benefit Icon by Design is more than happy to pass on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>About Icon by Design<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At Icon By Design we understand this desire, but we realise that it can be tricky to find great furniture at the right price.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We think the high-end and expensive designer brands gives you, the consumer,&nbsp;a raw deal. That&#8217;s because everyone along the way takes a cut, from brands to wholesalers and landlords. So we&#8217;re taking on the high-end retailers to offer you timeless design, crafted furniture at affordable prices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style='font-size:18px !important;'>Media Contact<\/span><br \/><strong>Company Name:<\/strong> Icon By Design<br \/><strong>Contact Person:<\/strong> Media Relations<br \/><strong>Email:<\/strong> <a href='http:\/\/www.universalpressrelease.com\/?pr=going-back-to-real-timberscandi-design-at-handy-prices&#038;type=pra'>Send Email<\/a><br \/><strong>Phone:<\/strong> 1800 094 310<br \/><strong>Country:<\/strong> Australia<br \/><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/IconByDesign.com.au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">IconByDesign.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n<p><object type=\"text\/html\" data=\"http:\/\/IconByDesign.com.au\" style=\"width:605px; height:400px;\"><\/object><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/press_stat.php?pr=going-back-to-real-timberscandi-design-at-handy-prices\" alt=\"\" width=\"1px\" height=\"1px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Melbourne &#8211; 15th March, 2019 &#8211; Trends come and go, but beauty is timeless.
