Crate and Barrel, a well-known home furnishings and decor retailer, has made an exciting addition to its SM Makati Flagship Store with the unveiling of “Portraits of Life.” This innovative concept consists of four interactive vignettes, each designed to provide a glimpse into different stages of life and how Crate and Barrel’s products can enhance the experience of home living.
These curated spaces paint a picture of life at various phases and bring guests into the homes of a couple building a life together, a bachelor hosting a night with friends, a supermom and her growing brood, and a couple refurbishing what is now an empty nest.

The featured Phoenix Work Table provides a solid wood top on welded steel legs. Its width is sized such that it can be used for work, to display collectibles, or even to host get-togethers.
