DA VINCI COLLECTION 78-1, TaijungGang (Taichung Kang) Road, section 2 (04) 2311-3639; Hours:

       Singapore-based Da Vinci Colllection is a reputable international furniture dealer, representing Italian brands like Jumbo Gruppo Italia, Cappelletti, and F.B.A.I; Vidal Grau from Spain; Preciosa from the Czech Republic, and Thomasville from the USA. Taichung is the location for the company's first Taiwan outlet and follows other branches in Singapore, China, Brunei, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia and Italy. Located near the TaijungGang/WenShin intersection, this striking three-floor showroom is open to the public and is designed to cater to both high-end buyers, as well as younger, first-time customers looking for more reasonable buys. A wide range of classy Western-style beds, dining sets, cabinets and other furniture is displayed. The third floor and part of the second floor are given to lower-priced items (which still look great). The second floor also contains a classic American-style furniture section, plus a sizable lamp section. However, Da Vinci goes even further to stand apart from the crowd, by providing free interior decorating lay-outs and consulting, including referrals of good architects and builders.
