Marketing - Furniture / Household Appliances
English term or phrase: returning style furniture
from an English leaflet of a Slovene supplier:
Offering elegantly appointed accommodation facilities, returning style furniture all equipped with cable TV, ISDN telephone....

könnte damit eventuell "Möbel im Retrostil" gemeint sein?

Explanation:
Sieht mir ganz danach aus, dass da Retrostilmöbel gemeint sind, könnte man mit viel gutem Willen ja als einen wiederkehrenden Stil, also "returning style" bezeichnen. So ein Fehler kann leicht unterkommen, wenn man der Sprache nicht hundertprozentig mächtig ist.

Möbel im Retrostil
