Interior designer Jonathan Matti, in late December, welcomed friends to a special dinner in Vetted, the creative space he founded in 2024. It was Matti’s way of showing gratitude to friends who had supported his new endeavor.
It was a gilded Christmas dinner with Matti pulling all the stops to transform Vetted into a salon where his guests had delicacies and sipped no less than Cristal Champagne vintage 2018, lauded as one of the best vintages from the famed champagne house.

Dani Virata and Amanda de Guzman Debraux.Matti’s salon was done in his signature style, combining fine antiques with Philippine art and decor to encapsulate Vetted’s spirit and its founder’s commitment to timeless elegance.
A cozy lounge, for example, was set against a splendid 12-panel Ching Dynasty coromandel screen and flanked by a pair of lamps made from Satsuma vases from the Meiji Period. A pair of Piccola Papillo chairs by Naoto Fukasawa and a travertine table from the 1970s brought modernity to the setting.
