Bespoke furniture from Matt Mason

-

“My vision for the collection was for it to be something classic and can seamlessly blend with nature. Natural elements such as exposed wooden frames in sofas provide a balance and effortless character to my furniture,” said Mike Yu, owner of Matt Mason at the grand opening of his showroom, recently.

The first Matt Mason Furniture showroom in Silang, Cavite situated along Tagaytay-Sta. Rosa Road opened back in 2014 and has gone through a transforma­tion that can only be described as having revolution­ized bespoke furniture-making in the area.

“We’re trying to evolve the brand to a point where it can compete globally. Perhaps what’s most distinctiv­e with Matt Mason is that we can do a whole range of furniture designs that we can customize to suit the discerning and dynamic tastes of our clientele. Our edge right now is we don’t constrain ourselves with just one design — it’s universal,” Yu said.

Apart from a unique design aesthetic, the brand also sets itself apart when it comes to their philosophy that longevity and durability must be a primary considerat­ion in furniture making.

“I think the biggest question now is how do we make unique designs that are also universall­y appealing?” added Yu. “We know that even with the positive feedback from our clientele we simply cannot rest on our laurels and become complacent — we must continuall­y challenge ourselves and the brand to grow, evolve, and stay responsive to the demands of our market.”
