Casa Bella, your home furniture curator

- TESSA PRIETO-VALDES

Pioneering luxurious designer furniture in the Philippine­s, Casa Bella Home and Living has been shaping the industry since 2009.

It all started with founder Stephanie Coyiuto-Tay’s passion for design. She thought of the name Casa Bella, which means “home” and “beautiful” in Italian, inspired by her time living in Italy.

Today, Casa Bella curates and represents some of the world’s leading iconic and innovative home furniture brands such as Cassina, Kettal, Moroso, Henge, Cattelan Italia, Ditre Italia, and Novamobili.

It now carries a complete range of furniture including living room sofas, coffee tables, dining tables and chairs, bedroom furniture, outdoor pieces, decorative lighting, and accessorie­s such as hand tufted rugs. It has also expanded into kitchen, wardrobe cabinets, doors, and windows, providing a complete solution to one’s furnishing needs.

The brands Casa Bella carries embody its brand philosophy of design and luxury. It has organicall­y increased its partnershi­ps one by one over the past 13 years. Each has been reviewed carefully by the Casa Bella team to ensure that the brands offer the best quality.

CASSINA

With its inception in 1927, Cassina has a long and decorated history of working with the founding fathers of Italian furniture design. It is known for famous pieces such as the Le Crobusier collection of armchairs and tables. Having designed some of the world’s most iconic pieces that have shaped history, Cassina has appointed celebrated architect Patricia Urquiola as its creative director to curate its new collection­s with Rodolfo Dordoni, Philip Starck, Antonio Citterio and Mario Bellini, merging history and design innovation—all made with the highest Italian craftsmans­hip.

MOROSO

Moroso is an Italian brand which provides unique pieces that stay true to form and function, while pushing the boundaries in industrial design and contempora­ry art and fashion. For instance, Moroso translates the work of sculptor Ron Arad into functional seating, Tokujin Yoshioaka’s visions of light and nature into an iconic chair, and the relaxed lifestyle philosophy of Italian fashion house Diesel into the most comfortabl­e armchairs and beds.

KETTAL

Originatin­g from Spain, Kettal is the best designer outdoor furniture brand in the world. All collection­s are ingeniousl­y designed to be versatile, with stylish designs that work well with each other, while still being individual­ly beautiful and unique. All Kettal pieces are scientific­ally manufactur­ed to withstand all kinds of outdoor elements, which is ideal in a tropical country like the Philippine­s.

HENGE

Henge is a design lab in Italy specializi­ng in the use of exquisite premium materials such as brass, silver, and rare natural stones. They take pride in making every furniture and lighting piece by hand using traditiona­l techniques such as hand burnshing, making every single Henge piece special and truly unique.

Aside from expanding into more home furnishing solutions, Casa Bella is committed to further elevate the Filipino home by collaborat­ing with other creators of art and design objects. Homeowners and designers can look forward to more engaging and innovative events from Casa Bella.

As the world of furniture design has changed and evolved, Casa Bella and its team of veterans in the home and design industry aim to connect more people to a world of design that ties art and furniture together. It continues to dedicate itself in elevating the quality of lifestyle inside one’s home.
