If you’re looking for design ideas and inspiration, as well as great finds to help you “complete your home,” then SM Home is the place to visit this July. For the entire month, SM Home has put together a team of some of the most respected and creative talents in in the country to create a series of visually captivating home design vignettes that are available for viewing during mall hours at the SM Home Makati branch, located on the fifth floor bridgeway area of The SM Store.
The vignettes were designed by an eclectic mix of established and up-and-coming stars in the industry, including Nina Santamaria of Grupo Santamaria, Angelo Siochi of AG Siochi, Misty Floro and Pai Edles of Morfosis and Iriss Mangio of ILM interiors. The majority of the products featured in the vignettes come directly from SM Home, with special participation by Boysen for paints used In the spaces, and AIS (Architectural and Design Source) for the tiles.
Because of the well-rounded selection of space designers, there will be vignette that will suit all kinds of sensibilities and preferences. Nina’s space is designed in the popular Scandi-chic style, while the duo of Misty Floro and Pai Edles lean towards an edgy modern look. In a deviation from other design showcases, Chef Miko Aspiras designed the kitchen space with help from a local interior designer.
“While it is a departure from convention, we thought it important that our designs be not just beautiful, but functional; no home space is more functional than the kitchen, and Chef Miko’s discipline as a multi-awarded pastry chef make him the ideal kitchen planner for an efficient, sensible and user friendly kitchen,” enthuses SM Home AVP for Marketing, Tom Castaneda.
Each space designer has pre-selected featured items that are used in the vignettes and that will be available for purchase for the duration of the special exhibit.
The vignettes that make up the exhibit, which was launched on June 21, will be open to the public at the SM Home Makati branch, located on the fifth floor of The SM Store, throughout the month of July.
“We always try to offer the widest range of choices here at SM Home, but completing your home isn’t just about choosing great pieces, it’s about putting them together cohesively, functionally, and harmoniously. With this series of vignettes, we hope to inspire our customers to be more creative in their own homes,” concludes Tom. “And we plan to offer our customers more ways to get inspired throughout the year. From our Ideas & Inspiration blog on the SM Home website and our lifestyle images on our social media accounts to in-store events with noted architects and designers, we hope to be more than just a source for great home items. We want to the a partner in helping our customers complete their homes!”
