Genteelhome Announces Summer Collection, Championing Filipino Artistry
Genteelhome, a premier furniture brand based in Pampanga, is making waves in the local luxury furniture scene with the launch of its first-ever outdoor collection. This groundbreaking collaboration with global icon and artist Catriona Gray embodies timeless elegance, superior durability, and artistic innovation, further establishing Genteelhome’s reputation as a leader in bespoke furniture design.
A Visionary Partnership Rooted in Art and Culture
At the heart of this design revolution is Ms. Katrina Blanca De Leon, CEO of Genteelhome, whose unwavering commitment to championing Filipino artisanship has propelled the brand to the forefront of luxury furniture. Under her leadership, Genteelhome creates pieces that seamlessly blend functionality and artistry.
The Genteelhome x Catriona Gray PAYAK Collection reflects Catriona’s deep passion for art—an enduring journey that began long before her reign as Miss Universe. As a cultural advocate, Catriona shares Genteelhome’s mission to celebrate Philippine heritage and uplift local artisans, making this collaboration a natural and meaningful partnership.
“This collection is more than just furniture—it’s a celebration of artistry, heritage, and dreams brought to life,” says Catriona.
PAYAK Collection: Simplicity with Purpose, Elegance with Heart
Translating Catriona’s artistic vision into functional art, the PAYAK Collection embodies a harmonious balance of simplicity and sophistication. Designed for both indoor and outdoor living, each piece is crafted with handpicked premium materials, ensuring longevity, elegance, and versatility in any space.
Uncompromising Craftsmanship and Technical Excellence
The PAYAK Collection stands out with three exceptional features:
✅ Teak Wood Finish: Known for its durability and natural resistance to warping, cracking, and rot, teak wood is the perfect choice for outdoor settings. Its rich natural oils create a protective barrier against moisture, pests, and harsh weather conditions, ensuring strength and beauty over time.
✅ High-Performance Fabric: Engineered to withstand the elements, this high-performance fabric offers exceptional durability against intense UV rays and water exposure while maintaining a luxurious feel—perfect for outdoor elegance.
✅ Lampakanay Rope: Ideal for tropical climates, Lampakanay rope is highly resistant to moisture and humidity. Its natural fibers strike a balance between strength and flexibility, adding an elegant handcrafted aesthetic to each piece.
A Collection Inspired by Filipino Heritage and Stories
Each piece in the Genteelhome x Catriona Gray PAYAK Collection is infused with cultural narratives and Filipino traditions:
🌋 Mayon Lounge Chair: A two-piece lounge chair and ottoman set inspired by the fiery lava flows of Mayon Volcano. Its warm pink and orange hues pay tribute to Catriona’s mother’s childhood memories of Mayon’s eruptions in Bicol. The graceful curves echo the natural ebb and flow of molten lava, symbolizing passion, power, and homecoming.
👑 Pinay Accent Chair: Taking inspiration from the iconic Baro’t Saya, the curved armrests reflect the elegant sleeves, while the solihiya weave pays homage to the vibrancy of Yakan craftsmanship. With a stained-ash-matte teakwood finish, the seating and backrest offer a graceful blend of comfort and sophistication.
🪞 Balik Tanaw Side Table: Designed to encapsulate cherished memories, this teak wood frame with solihiya accents supports an awning-shaped glass top, casting light and shadows in homage to Filipino weaving traditions.
🤝 Beh & She Side Tables: Inspired by the dance of friendship, these side tables resemble two raised hands in playful motion. Their contrasting heights symbolize companionship, while brass accents echo the elegance of T’boli jewelry, offering endless styling possibilities.
🧺 Kapit-Bisig Shelving Unit: A versatile open storage system featuring vibrant colored abaca weaving, honoring generations of Filipina weavers. The teak-covered columns symbolize the connection between heritage and modern design.
