Home Mavericks: A destination for design
MANILA, Philippines - The home-furnishings and pieces on display at the Home Mavericks showroom along Arnaiz Ave. (across New World Hotel) are exclusively Cebu-made and end up in the living spaces of design-savvy New Yorkers and Londoners.
Home Mavericks believes that high-quality Filipino design should also make their way to Filipino homes. It’s an honest bid to democratize design, and an inspired way to celebrate Filipino ingenuity and craftsmanship.
Home Mavericks managing partner Eric Alvin Go Po has heard first-hand the laments of Manila-based homeowners who have trouble finding Cebu-made furniture in stores in the capital. Formerly an associate sales executive of Rockwell Land, Eric saw how homeowners would rather settle for high-priced European-style pieces available in any local store than go through the trouble of flying to a furniture gallery in Cebu, going over designs in the catalog, and waiting for months on end for their orders to arrive. “Instead of having customers come all the way to Cebu, why don’t we bring our furniture to Manila?” Eric thought.
A modern kitchen at Home Mavericks Together with fellow Cebuano entrepreneurs Eric Mendoza, Vincent Sandoval and Johann Escañan, Eric set up Home Mavericks. Its present location is a 200-square meter gallery of Cebu furniture hand-crafted with quality materials. It is also an official dealer of HunterDouglas shades, blinds and other window treatments.
A visit to the Home Mavericks gallery promises to be a distinctly curated experience. After all, their associates are licensed interior designers from top schools. Home Mavericks is now becoming a one-stop shop as a retail store and interior design firm. Not only can clients purchase tables and wall accents at the store, they can also tap Home Mavericks’ design consultants to help fashion their homes and living spaces to suit their unique needs and aesthetic sensibilities. Custom-built furniture, window treatments as well as other indoor and outdoor solutions.
Home Mavericks is located at the ground floor, 926 Arnaiz Ave. (formerly Pasay Road), Makati City. For more information, call 844-9549 or visit www.homemavericks.com.
