I've always enjoyed furnishing my apartment or house wherever I moved to or even helping out friends who couldn't really be bothered to design and spruce up their place. In Manila, we have many opportunities to find some home furnishings and custom-made items. However, its also tricky to find well-made and interestingly designed pieces that are of good value for money. When a friend of mine decided to get her own apartment in Makati, I was happy to help her hunt for design pieces as well as furniture for her apartment. One place we checked out was Perch just across the Legaspi Active Park. The quaint but interesting showroom of Perch showcases some well-curated local-custom made and imported off-the-floor pieces. Many of the designs are contemporary or modern-classic. Each one has character as well as a customizable aspect. If you're a design fan, you will probably recognize some modified versions of classic chairs, couches, tables, and other fixtures. Its a cool place to start dreaming and its also useful to talk to any of their friendly staff who are more than happy to help you find what you are looking for to add functional yet beautiful pieces to your home or office. read more
