Genteel Home ushers in a new era of Filipino furnishing­s

-

GENTEEL Home, one of the country’s leading manufactur­ers of bespoke furniture, has been on a mission to help uplift the Philippine­s’ home furnishing industry and put the spotlight on the exceptiona­l talent and ingenuity of Filipino craftsmen.

To pave the way, the manufactur­ing brand partnered with Heart Evangelist­a, the country’s top internatio­nal fashion and style icon.

Genteel Home’s founder and principal designer, Katrina Blanca de Leon, welcomed Heart Evangelist­a as the brand’s newest ambassador.

The designer saw Heart Evangelist­a

as a symbol of the brand’s growth and evolution, embodying everything Genteel Home stood for: passion, pride in Filipino roots and a belief in making a mark on the world.

Genteel Home’s journey began in 2013, when de Leon received a special commission that ignited her passion for furniture design. Since then, the brand has been dedicated to crafting pieces that inspired beauty and creativity in every home.

Looking ahead, Genteel Home was set on expanding its reach to internatio­nal markets, showcasing the Philippine­s’ rich talent in home furnishing­s.

Apart from dedication to aesthetics, the brand was committed to sustainabi­lity and community engagement.

By investing in a Mahogany farm, Genteel Home not only ensured a steady supply of materials, but also contribute­d to environmen­tal preservati­on and providing livelihood opportunit­ies for local communitie­s.

For Genteel Home, every piece of furniture was crafted with love and purpose. Its collaborat­ion with Heart Evangelist­a represente­d a shared commitment to excellence, sustainabi­lity and Filipino craftsmans­hip, setting the stage for an exciting future ahead.
