MANDALUYONG CITY—Premier furniture design studio Genteel Home has opened its first atelier at The Podium here.
The launching ceremonies were led Genteel Home principal designer and founder Katrina Blanca De Leon, SM president Steven Tan, and actress and fashion icon Heart Evangelista.
De Leon said the atelier allows clients to sample and customize their furniture needs.
Genteel Home is known for its bespoke furniture pieces meticulously put together by Filipino craftsmen.
The hallmark of Genteel Home's brand is their hand-woven Solihiya design, where each rattan weave embodies the perfect marriage of form and function. The repetitive pattern not only reinforces the structure but also provides essential airflow, particularly in the tropical climate of the Philippines.
Genteel Home's locally crafted Solihiya Collection has the power to instantly transform any home into a true homage to Philippine Interior—a testament to Genteel Home's unwavering commitment to supporting local artisans and their craftsmanship.
The journey of Genteel Home began in 2013 when de Leon received a commission from a friend to create a unique piece of furniture.
From that single commissioned project to another, de Leon fell deeply in love with the intricate art of furniture making and the transformative power of turning living spaces into areas that radiate beauty and endless inspiration.
