Low Fat Diaries - my journey to SLIM

where-to

where-to: cubao X

I went window shopping for furniture at the hip Cubao Ex this afternoon and I came across this store. The store features a lot of mid-century modern furniture ranging from seatings, tables, case goods, lighting and accessories. You won’t believe how fascinating those pieces from the 1950’s. I wanted to buy a few of the chairs but sadly, they cost a fortune. The price ranges from 10,000 to a staggering 50,000 for a single chair. The lighting fixtures are amazing as well. I especially like the murano chandelier but guess what, you can buy a second-hand car for the price of that thing. You can find pieces designed by Russel Wright, Hans Wegner, and Herman Miller.

  1. I love those retro designs but as you say they are really expensive. I wonder if they sell retro fabrics there so we can just reupholster old pieces…

  2. I like the retro seater. You know, Ikea has great designs too, you should check it out. I’m not sure though if there’s Ikea in the Philippines, not that I’ve checked ;) Musta na U????
