Our story is rooted in the city and in a lasting appreciation of classic furniture.<\/p><h2>Furniture with lasting appeal<\/h2><p>We value considered design, skilled craftsmanship and the details that give a piece its character. Our collection brings together classic furniture chosen to remain part of a home for years to come.<\/p><p>We take time to understand what you like and how you use your space. That conversation helps us suggest furniture and finishes that work together and suit your needs.<\/p><h2>Our beginnings in Thessaloniki<\/h2><p>Our first shop opened in the mid-1960s on Pavlou Mela Street, in the centre of Thessaloniki. It marked the beginning of a business built around classic furniture, attention to detail and personal relationships with our customers.<\/p><p>In 2000, we opened a 1,000-square-metre showroom on Lagkadas Road, creating more space for the collection. In 2010, the Pavlou Mela shop moved to 7 Grigoriou Palama Street, with a collection of smaller furniture pieces.<\/p><h2>A glimpse of Pavlou Mela Street in 1976<\/h2><p>A photograph from 1976 shows our original shop, with ornate mirrors displayed in front of the window. It captures a moment in the history of both our business and the city.<\/p><h2>Visit our showroom today<\/h2><p>Our showroom on the Thessaloniki\u2013Lagkadas Road presents classic furniture for living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms and other spaces throughout the home. Visit us to see the designs and details in person and discuss the options available for each model.<\/p><h2>From Thessaloniki to your home<\/h2><p>We serve customers throughout Greece, including Athens, as well as Cyprus and the rest of Europe. We arrange transport for each order individually, taking account of the destination and the delivery services you need.<\/p><p><a href=\"mailto:info@epipla-arzoumanidis.gr\">Contact us to discuss your
