Essentials for the ‘uptown’ lifestyle
The search for the perfect accent, warm lighting, or design piece can be quite tedious.
As if choosing a home that best suits you and your family’s needs isn’t hard enough, there comes the challenge of selecting the right pieces to create a warm, cozy home.
What’s good though is that there are now a number of shops offering a mix of the modern, classic, elegant, or quirky finds that can fit right in any home—thus catering to whatever decór one may fancy.
Head over to the Uptown Mall in Fort Bonifacio and you’ll find home stores that offer a wide range of furniture, furnishings and accents—from the ultra luxurious tables and chairs, to the most economical lighting fixtures, and stylish cribs and beds for kids. Here are two of Uptown’s home stores.
DESIGN STORY
Design Story offers furniture pieces, accessories, and even lighting with excellent design and good quality at a reasonable price point.
Among the brands that it carries include Hay, a Danish brand that manufactures aesthetic yet functional furniture, accessories and lighting, and Stellar Works, which is known for designs that combine the influences of the East and West.
The designs of Hay products are Scandinavian with interesting twists in terms of colors, materials, and other details. As for Stellar Works, the designs are quite unique in the sense that the influences are a mix of the different cultures such as European and Japanese.
Both brands have worked with some of the most talented designers in the world such as the Bouroullec brothers, Doshi Levien, Hee Welling among others for Hay, while Stellar Works products are designed by Neri & Hu, Yabu Pushelberg, and Space Copenhagen, to name a few.

KRAKKI
“Krakki” is the Icelandic word for “kid” which is the main focus of the store.
The goal is to not only provide best quality beds for kids, but also offer a cheerful and playful vibe in every room through its products.
Krakki offers an assorted furniture for kids, specializing on bunk beds. The materials used were meticulously selected wood from Finland pine, treated and tested to be safe for kids using eco-friendly water based paints that passed international standards.
