MANILA, Philippines - Jia Estrella has transformed the nooks and crannies of Pinto Art Gallery into a glamorous yet warm French-Moroccan abode. The seamless incorporation of art, fashion and interior design results into a stylishly livable home. It is not impossible for one to visualize these settings in our own dwellings.
Pieces of rejected furnishings and furniture are resurrected into chic one-of-a-kind creations. Inspired by prominent fashion houses, energized by her adventures, enamored by elegance, Estrella incorporates all these in her artful renditions. As a final touch, she integrates into these pieces a part of her being. Romance, desire, nostalgia, exploits, leisure, indulgence and reverie find their way into her functional conceptions.
La Maisonopens tomorrow at Pinto Art Gallery, 1 Sierra Madre St., Grand Heights, 1870 Antipolo City.
