Philux opens its doors to a newly expanded showroom in Power Plant Mall. The space is home to signature elements including an architectural desk design featuring woven veneer with solid brass rods, juxtaposed with strategically placed dividers, sophisticated flooring, a swatch wall and built-in accessories shelving. Philux’s collaborations with JVAZCO and Metro Tiles add a touch of personality, while new designs such as the Renzo Pedestal Side Table and the Liwa Table Lamp liven up the scene, being standout pieces for any home.

Philux also introduces a theme of Patina and Polish into their aesthetic vocabulary, apparent in details such as the Farra Commode in the storefront vitrine and a cloud of classic-looking throw pillows.

As Stephanie Kienle Gonzalez, managing director of Philux, comments, “An intentional mix of materials can really make for stimulating and inspired spaces.”
