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.
