Sometimes a shop window will grab me with its styling and story, other times I’m hooked by how great the product is. On Saturday, I was roped into Bungalow in Toronto’s Kensington Market by this amazing 1970s club chair. Harvey Probber and Milo Baughman came to mind although if the chair really was by one of those famed US designers it would be priced a LOT higher than $595, especially with brand new upholstery. You’ll be hard pressed to find a chair with this much style in new condition for a price this low.
Inside Bungalow there was lots more to see, especially downstairs in the Rec Room . . .
Bungalow is big on teak and you’ll find loads of great dining sets, tables and cabinets for very decent prices. The compact coffee table in the store window is priced at $345 and the stunning Rosewood cabinet below is going for $650. If you swoop in and snag the credenza, please send me a pic once you’ve installed it at home — I love this piece!

It’s a great store with great clothes and knick knacks too!

All of that lustrous teak makes me drool.

I’ve been looking at that chair for weeks now. It’s on my route to work…

Good afternoon I live close to the market and Bungalow has very decent prices and good products. They change that window regularly because they sell quickly. Quality always sells itself
