More reasons to go to bed

MANILA, Philippines - After a long and tiring day at work, there’s only one place you will always find your way to —home and your bed. New York-based home furnishings brand DwellStudio gives you more reasons to come home. More than the furniture, it is your personal selection of sheets and pillowcases that makes it your private sanctuary.

Founded in 1999 by Christiane Lemieux, the company was conceived in an effort to bring modern textile design to the home. In that decade, DwellStudio has expanded from being the leader in the bedding market to a stalwart in creating highly diversified home furnishings. Since November 2007, DwellStudio has combined all its existing lines — Dwellbaby, Dwellkids and Dwelltable —into one cohesive brand.

DwellStudio marries contemporary inspirations with tradition in its designs. This year’s Home collection features duvet sets, bed sheets, pillowcases, and decorative pillows that look to the art world for inspiration.

DwellStudio duvet sets and sheet sets come in 100-percent Egyptian cotton in percale or sateen fabric, providing a luxurious feel. As bedroom staples, DwellStudio sheet sets are easy to match with the various prints of the duvet sets. With thread counts running from 320 to 400, the brand assures quality at its prime. Making your slumber sessions rewarding is DwellStudio’s 100-percent-linen throw pillows. These have feather down inserts that will let you sleep like a baby.

Reflecting contemporary art scenes, DwellStudio’s Collage collection shows a renewed interest in humble lines and hand-drawn shapes. Clean and modern, the Botany collection dives into the realm of the natural world. Pieces from this line, such as Hedgerow and Thicket, have bold and modern silhouettes fused with a touch of old-fashioned charm.

Pure simplicity is captured by the Black & White collection, which draws elements from both colors. The collection was inspired by the Talon style of French architecture and the hand-drawn Sketch style that boasts a modern, minimalist appeal.

DwellStudio’s Chinoiserie collection pays homage to what has come before. With the powerful influence of history, Chinoiserie reinterprets classic motifs in a crisp, modern way. Inspired by one of the greats, American design innovator Dorothy Draper, Chinoiserie’s Draper Stripe pieces unite graphic grandeur and simple comfort with its horizontal stripes.

Committed to quality, safety and environment, DwellStudio takes extra care of Mother Nature. All of their prints are made using low-impact dyes, which do not contain heavy metals or other known toxic substances. They are also formaldehyde-free, AZO-free and meet all criteria for eco-friendly pigments. In a move to become “greener,” DwellStudio initiated a redesign of its packaging to eliminate the use of PVC and substitute it with eco-friendly materials. DwellStudio products now come in bags or boxes that can be reused for storage, laundry, and travel for zero waste.
