MANILA, Philippines - Arden Classic offers a menagerie of gift items and decorative art pieces (miniature furniture) for the home.
Handmade by expert craftsmen, these items reflect the devotion, skills and creativity of its owners: couple Arden and Jen Siarot.
A graduate of the University of San Jose Recoletos-Cebu with a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Arden believes that creating art springs from the synergy between the mastery of the technical processes involved in one’s chosen medium, and an innate passion and eye for beauty.
His skill in manipulating unwieldy metal into fine works of art got the admiration of an Italian firm that specializes in the production of jewelry. The rest, as they say, is history.
Armed with experience and knowledge, Arden and his wife Jen established Arden Classic in 1993 and started the production of miniature furniture. Soon, the company became the foremost subcontractor in wrought iron furniture. Having gained a mastery of metal, Arden started creating miniature nature-inspired metal sculptures accented by seashells in 2000.
Today, Arden’s miniature metal furniture pieces have found a market not only here but abroad. His works have been carried by some of the world’s most prestigious art and decor houses.
