The ANTICA lifestyle harmoniously blends the best from East and West. History ANTICA was born from necessity and serendipity. Adnan Orali and Michael Kourosh were remodeling their homes and couldn’t find the high quality furnishings they wanted at reasonable prices. When they discussed their mutual frustration, they realized that they could do something about it. Both had over twenty years of award-winning retail experience, international connections, and European educations and associates. They began traveling the globe and bringing home extraordinary pieces for themselves and friends. ANTICA became a reality. In addition to sharing a passion for beauty and harmony, both Orali and Kourosh do business the old fashioned way: by building relationships. At ANTICA, you’ll find furnishings that Orali and Kourosh have carefully selected for the cosmopolitan lifestyle. |
