It was an evening of tactile poetry as Dexterton unveiled Mutina to Manila’s discerning design set at Open House, Makati. In the hands of visionaries like CEO Audrey Go-Liu and VP for Sales Mary Ann Rabonza, ceramic surfaces were stripped of their utilitarian roots and reimagined as high-fashion silhouettes for the home.
Mutina Moments: An Evening of Material Artistry showcased a space that breathed through four masterful installations: JJ Acuña’s Cloister whispered of intimate sanctuaries using the Bottone collection, while IDr. Rossy Anne Rojales turned Mater into a melodic, sensory experience. Headroom challenged the very gravity of architecture with a mosaic of Rombini shards and Bas Relief, all while Janna Sanchez’s Living Edges provided a rhythmic, organic counterpoint that blurred the line between sculpture and structure.
Beyond the sleek Italian craftsmanship and the avant-garde textures, the night carried a profound heart. The Mutina Moments were punctuated by a silent auction for the I Want to Share Foundation, weaving a narrative of social grace into the evening’s artistic tapestry.
As guests marveled at the material artistry, every bid cast was a step toward the vital renovation of the PGH Leukemia Ward. It was a rare, beautiful intersection of lifestyle and advocacy — proving that when the local design community gathers, they don’t just elevate our aesthetic landscape; they build a foundation for hope, proving that true luxury is always defined by its depth of purpose.
