Seats
A mark of excellent craftsmanship, this Panton S Chair was first designed in 1967. However, the successful, scratch-resistant set came to life in 2018 with only 666 units around the world. The impressive mirror-life effect is possible with the tedious layering of heavy chrome, varnished to produce a stunning shine.
The bidding of the Panton S Chair starts at PHP 45,000.
The lovely red hue of the Egg Chair and Ottoman makes for an eye-catching pop of color in a modern home. Similarly, the blood-red Yoda chair of Kenneth Cobonpue was designed with the nature of the rattan vine in mind. Simple and practical, the chair can add playful energy amid a nature-inspired house.
The bidding of the Egg Chair and Ottoman starts at PHP 90,000, while the Yoda Chair starts at PHP 3,000.

The bidding of the teak credenza starts at PHP 45,000.

Lamps
Any enthusiast of modern furniture is familiar with the distinctive award-winning design of Robert Sonneman’s orbiter lamps.
