Haute Habitat: 11 Pieces for the Modern Boudoir
Fashion need not be confined to the wardrobe. These beautifully crafted pieces prove that the modern boudoir can be just as expressive, personal, and impeccably styled as the woman who inhabits it.
Moonbow Collection
Hanoia
The beauty of Hanoia’s Moonbow collection begins with lacquer. The collection showcases the material through a painstaking color-blending technique that creates subtle shifts in tone, giving each piece a marked presence wherever you choose to display it.
Available at Rustan’s Makati, Ayala Center, Ayala Avenue, Makati City.
Magnifico Mirror
Fiam, Marcel Wanders
The Magnifico Mirror by Marcel Wanders pairs a softly curved glass frame with a clean mirrored surface, creating a piece that feels light, elegant, and perfectly at home in a well-appointed wardrobe or boudoir.
Available at Furnitalia, Crescent Park, West BGC Taguig.
The Fab5 Mini Chiller
Smeg
Smeg’s FAB5 makes a convincing case for moving the mini fridge out of the kitchen. Park it beside a vanity to keep skincare cool, sparkling water within arm’s reach, and your getting-ready routine a little more indulgent.
Available at Smeg stores in cream, black, red, pastel green, pastel blue, and pink.
Kara Dresser
Natevo, Toner
There is a reason the dressing table has endured. The Kara Dresser by Natevo rethinks the classic vanity with seven softly lit mirrors, elegant Calacatta marble, discreet drawers, and antiqued gold accents. It’s beautiful to use as it is to look at.
Available at Abitare Internazionale, G/F, Crown Tower, Salcedo Village, 107 H.V. Dela Costa, Makati City.
Shimmer Mirror
Glas Italia, Patricia Urquiola
Shimmer is Patricia Urquiola at her most playful. Fashioned from iridescent glass, the piece seems to change color as light moves across its surface, creating a functional piece that feels alive without relying on ornament.
Available at Kuysen, 2 Jupiter corner Zodiac Street Bel Air, Makati City, Philippines 1209. +632 88619646 / 79753032
The Deep Lounge
Natuzzi Italia, Nika Zupanc
Nika Zupanc gives the classic chaise a softer point of view with the Deep Lounge for Natuzzi Italia. Beneath its flowing silhouette are breathable Eucafeel high-density polyurethane and Memory Foam cushions, making long mornings with a book or slow evenings winding down feel more inviting and cozy.
Available at Mos Design, 9th Avenue corner Lane O, Bonifacio High Street, BGC.
Tra le Nuvole Wall Clock
Fornasetti
Few objects bring as much personality to a room as a Fornasetti clock. Tra le Nuvole frames the house’s Tema e Variazioni face with soft clouds, adding a touch of whimsy to your dressing room while keeping time.
Available at Opulence Design Concept, 267 Connecticut St. Greenhills East, Mandaluyong City.
Insula Ottoman
Kettal, Patricia Urquiola
With its low silhouette and softly rounded backrest, the Insula Ottoman brings an easy sense of comfort to the dressing room. Patricia Urquiola keeps the design simple, letting clean lines and generous proportions speak for themselves.
Available at Casa Bella Home and Living, 8 Jupiter St. cor Canopus, Bel-Air, Makati.
Eureka
Lema, Steve Leung
Rather than treating the vanity as a separate piece, Steve Leung folds it seamlessly into the wardrobe with Eureka. He designed it as a single, customizable system that adapts to the way you live. Its compartments keep everyday essentials close at hand while keeping them organized.
Available at Living Innovations, Fort Victoria, 5th Ave. corner Rizal Dr., Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.
