Bahay Home } Filipino, Global, Modern & Affordable Furnishings

Bahayhome_2
Bahay means home in Tagalog (native language of the Philippines) and as a Filipino/Canadian/American, I am so happy to have discovered Bahay Home, an amazing global style furnishing retailer in LA. The Bahay Home collection embodies the style aesthetic I find myself drawn to time and again...natural materials, organic forms, modern aesthetics and cultural consciousness. I just adore the two chairs above! I have been secretly wanting the comfort of a papasan with the base of a tulip chair and look now I've found it, and without an overdesigned price tag ($580)! The other chair is a subtle take on the original Egg Chair by Arne Jacobsen, but I love the Bahay Home version because of it's use of natural and sustainable Abaca fiber ($485). Dare I say that these naturally modern pieces are quite comfortable looking AND affordable? I'm lovin' it! For a review of the store, check out Apartment Therapy LA.

I couldn't resist posting my own Bahay Home-like chairs...these chairs, in the manner of Verner Panton, are wonderfully made of rattan, and I picked these up at a vintage store in Brooklyn. The pair was on sale for $200! I had to! For more inspiration on global modern style, have a peak at these related posts:

That chair is very well made, I remember Kenneth Cobonpue a Filipino from Cebu, he is an industrial designer known for his signature designs in natural fibers and materials. Designs mainly focus on nature's forms using rattan, buri, bamboo, and abaca.

The rattan wicker chairs are very elegant. You had a nice deal. They are in a very good shape. I wonder how much they will cost now. Keeping them nicely and caring for them, will make them out live their usefulness.
