Look what I found: a series of vintage Sri Lankan TV ads on Youtube! They're from the '80s and '90s, but what's interesting is how mid-century furniture styles were still popular those days -- you can see this in the Arpico ad around 3:34 on the video timer. Well worth checking out!
The furniture on the ad was made for the masses and affordable, so not "high end" in any way. Which is funny when you consider how trendy and pricey things like hairpin leg tables and Saarinen-style furniture are today, here in the U.S.
Sri Lanka has not caught up with today's mid-century mania yet. Decor trends hit Sri Lanka veeeery slowly, so it'll be fascinating to see if these styles will ever come back over there!
