Visiting the 1,500 square-meter store of Habitat Manila in BGC usually ends up with one purchasing something from the lovely array of home furnishing selections and various wares. As it ushers in the Spring/Summer 2016 collection, home furnishing lovers and interior designers have more reason to visit the store.
Dubbed as Heliotropism, the showroom highlights the collection with vibrant lemon yellows, deep blues and playful summer patterns. Heliotropism is a term to describe the movement of life forms towards the face of the sun, usually seen in flowers like the sunflower where the bud slowly turns towards the direction from where the sun shines. This phenomenon makes its way to Habitat and lights up the showroom with summer hues that can make any part of a room come alive.
According to Habitat Design Studio creative director Pierre Favresse, the collection aims to inspire families to gather together during summer and enjoy the activities that the sun may bring, like Sunday brunch in a garden, a picnic in the park or on the beach, or countryside family summer weekend. “Habitat Design Studio draws inspiration from sunny regions to celebrate warm weather and the joy of being together,” he adds.
The collection features light-colored furniture and accessories including several prints by young French designer Aisha Ravate. From kitchen accessories, picnic baskets and outdoor furniture, the collection is a reminder of great sunny escapades outdoors. “The collection gives pride to lemons, fruit of the South of France, bursting with life with a brilliant yellow that is an ode to summer,” says Favresse.
It seems like the Philippines’ warm season is taking longer than expected, which should gives us more reason to plan out the next outdoor get together, and Habitat’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection is the perfect store from which one can get lovely highlights for summer decorating and entertaining.
The Habitat Spring/Summer 2016 collection is available in Habitat BGC, at 28th Street and Fourth Avenue, on the 3rd Level of Abenson, Bonifacio Global City. Soon, a new Habitat Manila showroom will open in UP Town Center, Diliman, Quezon City.
