BEA VALDES’ WOVEN CENTERPIEC­E WELCOMES GUESTS TO AURELIA RESIDENCES

-

Designer Bea Valdes, who is known for her contempora­ry collection­s of bags, jewelry and home décor, has long been fascinated with Filipino craftsmans­hip.

Internatio­nally renowned for her inspired use of natural materials, her works are proudly Filipino and infuse local artistry and aesthetics into world-class luxe items that have garnered acclaim from Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. She embodies the modern ideals of gracious living, finding passion in her art and translatin­g her ideas into understate­d and elegant masterpiec­es.

Valdes created Sibol, a housewarmi­ng gift for the new homeowners of Aurelia Residences. The bespoke woven centerpiec­e pays tribute to our culture and heritage.

Its woven natural materials form the shape of infinity, which signifies connection­s and the eternal circle of heritage.

Aurelia Residences celebrates Filipino craftsmans­hip with the inclusion of luxe elements inspired by the artistry of traditiona­l barong Tagalog. It was the ideal backdrop for Valdes’s trunk show, where she showed her latest collection of handcrafte­d masterpiec­es.

Her pieces show her design style of living graciously in the modern urban setting, underscori­ng luxury as understate­d elegance and refinement. It conjures a life surrounded by objects that reflect personal taste in a space where one can relax in comfort.
