The Philippines is globally renowned for its outstanding furniture. Among the respected names in the industry is Philux — manufacturer and retailer of fine furniture with a legacy of conscious luxury, crafted locally.
This year marks a milestone as it celebrates 45 years of thoughtfully designed products created by an in-house team of artisans. The seasoned name is focused on building a bridge between past, present and future — bringing new life to its landmark pieces and rekindling classic Filipino heritage designs. This approach imparts a contrast between contemporary and timeless tradition.
Founded by Max and Zelda Kienle in 1980, the household name is now managed by the second generation — their daughters, Stephanie Kienle Gonzalez and Jessica Kienle Maxwell. Focusing on craftsmanship and sustainable materials, the work is a fusion of traditional techniques with modern technology for pieces made to last.
Gonzalez, president and managing director, says, “Filipino craftsmanship has always been at the heart of Philux. We aspire to have a global mindset and simultaneously remain rooted in our homegrown values. We source consciously and foster partnerships with like-minded creatives.”
Through the decades, Philux retail has provided personalized curation, wherein clients select their desired furniture and choose among a diverse variety of materials. Meanwhile, Philux Contract develops collaborative partnerships with creatives, ensuring a bespoke approach that reflects individual style alongside the distinctive Philux design ethos.
“Our design is not just about form and function, it’s about creating timeless pieces that tell a story of elegance, artisanship and sustainable innovation. All the while, each creation reflects our commitment to an authentic lifestyle — we make space for the spirit of our collaborators to shine through,” says Maxwell, vice president and creative director.
A league of its own, the brand is a testament to contemporary luxe furnishing at the forefront of style reflective of Philippine craft, tradition, history and culture, all rolled into one. It remains a noteworthy name that not only makes a mark In history but an impactful difference that will echo from generation to generation.
