Mav it up with new furniture
MANILA, Philippines - Choosing furniture is now easy with the latest showroom to open in Makati. Putting in mind the upwardly mobile individuals of the city, home furnishing showroom Mav offers prime and exclusive furniture pieces at competitive prices.
“We want to offer premium quality furniture to our upward homeowners without giving them the burden of paying exorbitant amounts. Apart from comfort, our furniture actually gives them a sense of exclusivity as we sell mostly limited-edition pieces that they can be proud to call their own,†said Mav CEO Eric Po.
Located along Arnaiz Avenue, Makati (right across New World Hotel), Mav is the brainchild of five friends who believe that stylish furniture doesn’t need to be expensive. Most of the pieces are contemporary with touches of the traditional.
Mav aims to bring chic and smart designs to a broader public. These could be young professionals who are renting to own their condos, a young couple moving to a new home as they start their own family, Filipinos based abroad who want furniture for a new condo unit that they bought for their family vacations or as a real estate investment.
“We want buyers to know that they can find variety in our stores they don’t have to settle for cheaper furniture that in the end they will find out are of low quality,†said Po.
Mav pays homage to both classic and modern when it comes to furniture pieces for the dining room, living room, or bedroom. The store designers often play around with textures to add distinctive details to every piece.
The Victorian-inspired Francisco bed, for example, is given a modern twist by using linen fabric to cover the headboard and accented with bronze nail heads . Details in prints are also emphasized in other furniture pieces such as the ringlets of the Arrezo accent chair.
Mav also combines glass and metal. The beautiful Lilium table is perfect for those with a more masculine taste and then the look is softened by the Lilium chair in cream.
Mav describes the designs as “combination of old-world charmand designs that are modern and avant-garde, so you have the best of both worlds.â€
