If all this time, most of the furniture came from Europe, Andy explained that since 5-10 years ago he was one of the dealers who brought American brands to Indonesia.

Diva Tanah Air Ruth Sahanaya merupakan salah satu yang mengaku rela mengeluarkan banyak uang demi memilih furniture yang sesuai seleranya. "Memilih furniture disesuaikan dengan budget, tapi tidak ada salah beli yang memang kita suka. Kalau pun harganya mahal saya rasa ngga ada masalah, asal nyaman," kata Ruth Sahanaya saat mengisi opening Bernhardt di Malinda Furniture Gallery, Kemang.
Dari sekian banyak mode, dia selalu tertarik dengan disain yang klasik. Oleh sebab itu mebel di rumahnya, seperti sofa, kasur, hingga meja berkonsep klasik. "Dalam memilih furniture saya pertama lihat disain. Terus kenyamanan akan jadi nilai tambah. Ngga bagus kelihatan aja tapi nyaman juga dipakai," jelas Ruth Sahayana.
