The Kuysen Experience



Hello Lovelies!
How was your week? Christmas is getting nearer, right? How about a treat? This post is for all furniture lovers, architects and interior designers out there, for today will be about the "Kuysen" Experience.

If you are involve in the interior design field & architectural field perhaps you have heard about Kuysen--in my experience, I first encountered Kuysen as bathroom fixtures supplier but upon being invited on their showroom in Makati I, and so as my officemates, learned that Kuysen is far more diverse; they don't just supply  bathroom fixtures but also furniture and lighting fixtures and not just any furniture and lightings but designer made ones, which means that it will not just be comfortable but an eye candy too. 

Disclaimer: This is not a sponsored post. I am not in anyway affiliated with Kuysen and with all the brand you'll about to read in this post. I'm just a fan. Thank you!

Kuysen takes pride on their brands which caters not just for the indoor spaces but also to the great outdoors, and mind you, these brands are well known in their own markets:
Those are just a few of the brands they supply here in the Philippines. Majority of the brands are European brands. The brands stated above are grouped into three (3):
So if you're considering adding furniture in your Christmas list, you should consider these brands. My personal favorites are ZanottaVibia & Slamp for these brands have three things in common that I truly-truly admire and love: Uniqueness, Quirkiness & being Contemporary.  Zanotta by having Sella by the Castiglioni Brothers truly caught my attention, Vibia's lighting fixtures gives that sense of art installation of lights and of course, last but definitely not the least, Slamp, which for me is the millennial lightings--so contemporary and the plays of shapes  are stupendous and quite lite for the sense of sight. But of course, don't just take my word for it, let's tour the showroom!

Brand: Unknown
Description: Copper Finished Wall Decor, good for giving your fine wall surface a bit of an extra.
Brand: I believe, this is the Baxter side, please forgive me if I'm wrong.
Description: Chester Moon, the elegant blue tufted sofa is good for hotel lobbies or office lobbies that requires elegance and class without the need too much comfort or long sitting.
Description: This is their focal piece, this will welcome you upon entering the showroom.



Brand: Zanotta
Description: This is "Sella", remember what I stated before when I wrote "Quirkiness"? So this is it. Made by the Castiglioni Brothers: Pier & Achille, Italian architects & designers who pride themselves, in my own opinion, in their unique play of components ans shapes: combining everyday things into something extra, if you are not convinced, you need to see Mezzadro and their Snoopy Lamp, and did I mention that they received Compasso d´Oro awards? Yes, they did and yes, 9 to be exact. And their furniture are being showcased in different museums? Not that fancy right?
Brands: Zanotta & Vibia
Description: Presenting the Reale Table by Carlo Mollino. First of all, I want to ask for forgiveness for not giving the table justice. I really-really advise you to go check it at Zanotta's Website, you need to take a look at its legs. Moving forward, I admire this table's elegance and simplicity, and if this surface finish doesn't get you, do you know that it also comes in glass?
And ladies and gentlemen presenting: Vibia's Cosmos Series, this is model 2516 and see right? An art installation on its own and it can be permanent if you would buy it. Haha. This is not sponsored, please be reminded. xD



Brand: Baxter
Description: The Bauhaus Special Edition Chair, the reason why this caught my eye is because of its retro colors and pattern in a modern statute. I love how the designer come up with this: fancy, funky and modern--but of course its name speaks out for itself.

Brand: Baxter
Description: See that dark blue couch? That's the Sorrento, the Lazy Boy version of Baxter and it made me into a Lazy Girl, gosh! It was the most comfortable couch I've tried. It is like being hugged in the most comfortable way. 

Description: I'm not actually sure about this one but I truly admire those slender legs and its overall sophisticated simplicity.

Brand: Vibia
Description: Again, for the love of form and function, presenting Meridiano by Vibia. Good for outdoors. Actually when from afar, it kinda looks like a bonfire and can I add that you can actually sit on it? That's Vibia being an extra, being architecture by itself, not just pure aesthetic but you can actually use it. 

Brand: Vibia
Description: The Origami Series by Vibia gives you the freedom to form your own wall and light art. 

Brand: Axor Massaud
Description: Last but definitely not the least, let me bring you where I first encountered Kuysen, in Bathroom Fixtures: Axor Massaud was named after the Jean-Marie Massaud, a French Architect and Designer who's into nature--which you can see in the design of the Mixer and of the Basin. The Zen feeling of slender and sleek mixer harmonizing with the free-form shape of the design reminds me of a waterfall. 
Then there you have it, the Kuysen tour was over. Yes, all good and eye-candy experiences must come to an end--because that's how you can know their worth--yeah, I'm being deep there but nevermind. Hope you enjoyed our tour. Have you gone there too? Care to share your experience? Kindly write it on the comment box, I would be glad to have a chit-chat with you.

My Cheap but EFFECTIVE Pimple Drying Cream: Katialis Review

Hello Lovelies!! This review is like an updated review version of my previous post on my  IG account .  Being thrifty, I tend to search for DIY's when it comes to that time of the month wherein my "visitor" a.k.a menstruation visits me with a friend named pimple or sometimes zit. My research lead me to knowing this product: Katialis. :) What:   Katialis Price:   small-25Php large-40 Php Where did I bought it?  Local Drugstore & Mercury Drugs Ingredients : Precipitated Sulfur - a form of sulfur used in treating skin diseases, has a keratolytic effect that promotes peeling of the skin.

Quick Review: Silka Whitening Herbal Soap

Hello Lovelies!! Just a quick review :) Being used by my friend and at the same time having good reviews online, I decided to see for myself if this will become my long term soap. The 65g Budget Pack of Silka Whitening Herbal Soap What?  Silka Whitening Herbal Soap How Much?  16 Php / 0.31 $ Where?  Leading supermarkets & drugstores Rear Portion: Ingredients & Description Ingredients:  Sodium Palmitate/ Sodium Palm Kernelate  - based on what I gather, these two are both cleansing agent--being sodium but, in high amount can be a skin irritant because they strip off oil from the skin. :( Salicylic Acid   - known to fight pimple & great for exfoliating skin.

When I Let Belo Touched my Armpit: The Belo Beauty Deo Review

Hello Lovelies! Being born a sweaty-pig, I struggled during my puberty days, it is either I end up stinky and soaking wet or having a overwhelming smell of deo and yellow stains on my uniforms--because I just don't know where or who to ask or open up for it is a pretty personal and embarrassing stuff. So moving forward, I end up ruining my armpit, it has chicken skin and uneven skin tone. For years I've been using all-natural alum deo, be it powdered or the solid one, just to save my shirts & blouses from stains but the downside is that it doesn't have any antiperspirant property--which is kinda embarrassing, not just for girls but for everyone! Dyahe bes! Hindi nakakaganda. Then one time, my Mom made me use her Avon's Quelch Deo--and it quite good. I didn't sweat and there's no stain--but then again it just my first time of using it--so I wasn't convince yet, I told myself that I need to try it for a longer period. However, the thing is I don...
