Adora's art of gathering

MANILA, Philippines - Adora asks you to reimagine a world without chairs. Only then will you realize that the one constant item in any get-together this Christmas is chairs. In the art of gathering, festivities with your family, lover and friends take center stage because coming together, sitting down, spending time now gets its necessary spotlight.

 Adora is that place where approachable meets high-brow to come up with the “Adora Aesthetic,” which has now been translated into actual scenes throughout the store and windows, to visually interpret its Christmas message. But this does not just mean designer jackets mixed with local tops. A dinner party positioned in the middle of the women’s bags department has a table with plates, glasses and cutlery from the Home department. A window display of girlfriends getting ready for a party has perfume bottles from the fragrance bar and body lotion from the Beauty Department. Suddenly this unmistakable look is not just about the clothes but the merging of a lifestyle.

 And so Adora is filled with chairs — thrown about in the rush of holiday celebrating — invading its grand environment in a sweeping gesture of a not-so-silent night, providing the visual motif of a perfect Adora Christmas.

Adora Department Store is located at three floors of Greenbelt 5.
