MANILA, Philippines - Believe it or not, concerns about health and beauty are also a big issue in furniture and home furnishings.
But as Abenson Inc., the country’s largest appliance chains, brings SB Furniture to the country, identifying what’s safe and stylish when it comes to home pieces becomes a non-issue. Continuing to uphold the standards that made them a huge success in Thailand and across the globe, SB Furniture offers sophisticated designs that are not only environment-friendly but affordable as well.
Spearheaded by SB Furniture marketing manager Maann de Jesus, SB Furniture was officially launched recently at Market! Market! The event highlighted SB Furniture’s safety features, as attested to by the European Standard Class (E1) seals that their home pieces carry.
“Cheaper furniture contains larger amounts of formaldehyde — a substance in bonding agents which is also an element used during the embalming process (for corpses). Thus, the formaldehyde used in some low-priced lines of home furnishings poses risks to every member of the family,” says de Jesus. “SB Furniture contains negligible amounts of that substance, which is why each piece is stamped with the E1 seal.”
The E1 seal is significant because it is proof that a piece it is affixed to is safe for the whole family’s health and does not cause irritations and allergies — something brought about by the use of harmful substances in some medium-density fiberboard furniture pieces by other manufacturers.
“Aside from being safe and healthy for the whole family, SB Furniture is also known for being eco-friendly. All wood panels are from a tree plantation, which is why no natural forest is destroyed every time the brand comes up with a new collection,” de Jesus says.
With decades of expertise in crafting home pieces, SB Furniture has mastered creating European-inspired designs, made from only the highest quality medium-density fiberboard (MDF) particle boards and fittings imported from Europe. The use of high-grade MDF (made from wood chips and wood scraps that would otherwise be discarded) ensures that each piece of SB Furniture is environment-friendly and non-toxic.
Spazio Is For Space
But being safe and green is just one part of the bigger picture. With eco-friendly materials, SB Furniture creates sleek and elegant home fittings. Plus, all the pieces in its lines are modular, meaning they can be moved around, placed side by side, or re-arranged, making them perfect for condominiums or small spaces.
And to address space issues often involved in modern living, SB Furniture presents its Spazio collection, a new line of home furnishings that’s ideal for minimalists. Tailored not only to complement small units, Spazio pieces are also designed to accent home spaces.
“Spazio collection functions can be highlighted in three words: smart, space, and solution. With its practical pieces that create perfect divisions and arrangements, homeowners need not compromise style just to save space,” adds de Jesus.
With all the designs and technology that SB Furniture utilizes for its collections, each piece is guaranteed to help every homeowner transform an ordinary abode into a beautiful and healthy space for the whole family.
“And now that SB Furniture is on Philippine shores, Filipinos can experience the brand’s modern styles and durability that have earned it many different awards across the globe,” says de Jesus. “And with its safe and chic European-styled pieces that don’t break one’s budget, one’s health and beauty will be compromised no more.”
