Genteel Home, a prominent manufacturer of custom furniture in the Philippines, is dedicated to elevating the country’s home furnishing industry and showcasing the remarkable talent and creativity of Filipino craftsmen. In pursuit of this mission, they have joined forces with Heart Evangelista, the nation’s preeminent international fashion and style icon.
On March 14, Genteel Home’s Founder and Principal Designer, IDr. Katrina Blanca de Leon, proudly introduced Heart Evangelista as the brand’s newest ambassador. Katrina views Heart Evangelista as a symbol of the brand’s progress and growth. “For over a decade, we’ve been crafting exquisite furniture, and now, with Heart joining us, our potential is boundless,” Katrina remarked. She noted that Heart Evangelista epitomizes the core values of Genteel Home – passion, a deep connection to Filipino heritage, and a commitment to leaving a lasting impact on the global stage.
Looking forward, Genteel Home is poised to expand its presence in international markets, spotlighting the Philippines’ abundant talent in home furnishings. With Heart Evangelista’s global renown, stemming not only from her impeccable fashion sense but also her influential presence on social media, she emerges as the perfect ambassador for Genteel Home’s global ambitions. “Heart’s collaboration with Genteel Home signals our readiness to leave our mark on the international stage,” emphasized Katrina.
Heart Evangelista, renowned for her worldwide acclaim in the realms of fashion and beauty, affirmed her admiration for the international caliber of Genteel Home’s pieces. “Genteel Home is truly on par with international furniture brands. Unfortunately, not many people are aware of this, which is why it’s fantastic that Kat and Genteel Home are here to showcase our capabilities to the world. Many of the furniture suppliers you see on the global stage are actually based in the Philippines. We are undeniably world-class, and it’s imperative that we celebrate that,” she remarked.
The story of Genteel Home traces back to 2013 when Katrina embarked on a special commission that ignited her passion for furniture design. Since then, the brand has remained steadfast in its mission to create pieces that exude beauty and spark creativity in every household.
Beyond mere aesthetics, Genteel Home champions sustainability and community involvement. By investing in a Mahogany farm, they not only secure a sustainable source of materials but also contribute to environmental conservation and provide livelihood opportunities for local communities.
At Genteel Home, each piece of furniture is crafted with care and intention. Their collaboration with Heart Evangelista reflects a mutual dedication to excellence, sustainability, and Filipino craftsmanship, laying the foundation for an exciting future ahead.
