Local furniture atelier genteelhome has always been about celebrating the craftsmanship, passion and creativity that go into every piece it creates.
Founded in 2013 by Katrina de Leon, genteelhome has become a successful lifestyle brand because it collaborated with Filipino artisans and key talents. De Leon’s dedication to elevating Filipino design is evident in every piece the brand produces, from the intricate details to the overall aesthetic.
Genteelhome’s commitment to sustainability goes
hand-in-hand with its dedication to craftsmanship. The brand pledged three percent of its project revenue to support the reforestation efforts of the Haribon Foundation.
“Just as we honor the hands that create our furniture, we also honor the resources that sustain us. By supporting their reforestation efforts, we’re not only contributing to a greener future but also ensuring that future generations can enjoy the natural resources we use in our designs,” De Leon said.
Stylish and functional
A custom piece doesn’t just fill a room — it sparks conversations, inspires intrigue and tells a story that resonates with one’s personality and lifestyle.
Both stylish and functional, genteelhome’s off-the-rack collection combines Filipino nostalgia and modern elements. Every piece serves its purpose and becomes the room’s focal point.
Planning your dream space? You can collaborate with genteelhome to create a piece that reflects your individuality — from the conceptualization of pieces to the construction of your home.
“We are not just creating furniture; we are crafting experiences. Our pieces will last a lifetime and even be passed on to generations. We want to build a legacy of quality and innovation in every piece we produce. Plus, Filipino design deserves recognition, not just locally but even abroad,” De Leon said.
Genteelhome will spearhead training workshops for aspiring artisans in the coming year.
