Think global. Sell local. A brazen and ambitious manifesto for a furniture
store – and one by which Home Mavericks proudly stands by.
The
home furnishings and pieces on display in their showroom along Arnaiz Ave.
(across New World Hotel) are exclusively Cebu-made and typically end up in the
living spaces of design-savvy New Yorkers and Londoners. Quite often, the stamp
of “world-class quality” associated with Cebu furniture pieces has become synonymous
with being “for export only”. But Home Mavericks begs to differ: high-quality
Filipino design should also make their way to Filipino homes, not bypass them.
It’s an honest bid to democratize design, and an inspired way to celebrate
Filipino ingenuity and craftsmanship.
Imagine
coming home to your loft in Rockwell or The Fort after a hectic day and sitting
back on a chaise lounge that you’d normally find in a West Elm or Ralph Pucci
outlet in New York. Smiling, you close your eyes, adrift in domestic bliss.
Priceless moments like this are what the folks behind Home Mavericks strongly
feel that Filipinos are entitled to enjoy.
