Kuysen, one of the leading sources in luxury home furniture and fixtures in the Philippines, opened its five-storey, multi-function building in Makati City last February 21, 2019. It is a showroom promising an experience beyond the ordinary, a first of its kind in the country.

The opening of Kuysen Design and Experience Center was also the celebration of Kuysen’s 30th year in the industry. The impressive fixtures and sheer massive space of the showroom are brought to life by the hands of esteemed architect and interior designer, Ed Calma. This is the first showroom that he designed as a luxury home.

When it comes to designing a living space, Calma considered making the space unique to the users by incorporating elements such as use of materials and expressing them in a different way. He demonstrated this uniqueness by adding the signature Ed Calma touch to each specialized floor of the Kuysen Design and Experience Center.

According to him, “The Kuysen showroom is located along a row of boxy buildings in Jupiter street. This gave me an opportunity to break the line of boxes by splaying the floors of the building into separate forms allowing Kuysen to define each floor to house a particular brand or product. The curvilinear facade creates a segmented facade of glass of different angles that minimizes direct heat gain into the building.”

Upon entering, one will be in awe of the beautiful furniture that is settled on perfect spots in the massive room. The ground floor, called LuxeLiving, features a Kuysen curated space that allows clients to visualize an actual living area with the selection of luxury brands such as Porro, Living Divani, Poggenpohl and Vibia.

The second floor is called Bespoke, devoted to customizable furniture that inspires individuality where an elegant whiskey bar can also be found. One can create expressive furniture reflecting their own personal taste and lifestyle. The items are handcrafted by artisans using traditional techniques. Each item is handmade using the finest materials in the world. Brands such as Baxter, Ceccotti, Paola Lenti, Vibia and Gan found in this floor represent longevity of distinct aesthetic that Kuysen is known for.

Heading up the stairs of the showroom leads to Design Curio where designs are eccentric and offer aesthetic value that goes beyond the mind.
