Canberra business Fox Imports has been supplying quality furniture to local households since 1978.
In more recent times, Fox Imports introduced their own retro range called 6ixty.
This nostalgic style of furniture is now supplied to shops Australia-wide and to all the leading online retailers.
The 6ixty range has been designed in-house at Fox Imports in Fyshwick under the direction of Barry Faux.
You can visit 6ixty.com.au to see the full range.
These designs are essentially an Australian interpretation of mid-century retro style furniture.
By interpretation they mean it follows the mid-century design ethic but then adds a unique new twist. They chose to incorporate strong colours.
Upon the release of the range they stated “Uniquely, we are the first designers to introduce the flexibility of being able to reverse the colour to an oak finish if the customer wishes, giving four distinct looks to the one item.”
In terms of materials, they pointed out that “The 6ixty line is manufactured from solid A-grade American oak in Vietnam.”
The range includes a host of different sofas, chairs, tables, stools, TV units, sideboards, bedside cabinets, drawer chests and vitrines (which is a glass display case).
The thing is though, as popular as it has been, “Australia’s leading and most cutting-edge retro design furniture can now be purchased at wholesale or below with Barry’s retirement.”
Yep, after almost 40 years after Fox Imports was established, Barry is going to be calling it a day for the last time.
