Over five years ago, Bong and Rossy, an interior designer, opened their first concept store in Cubao X, an area dedicated to design innovation. "We decided to open the store with the goal of breathing a fresh air of our particular design aesthetic to the local design community," Bong says.

"We did not have long term plans, we just want to express the things that we like, to create home products using local craftsmanship with a global outlook," Bong says. Pictured, Heima's Geonna console.
Now with two stores in Manila and two sub-brands, My Apt. and Paper Club, a stationary line, Heima has built a reputation in the Philippines and beyond. Pictured, a wine cabinet in its closed position.

Travels abroad have helped the duo develop the brand's aesthetic, which they describe as a crossover between local innovation and global inspiraiton. Pictured here are a series of metal Gala planters.

"My Apt. is more masculine, industrial, and a little 'Brooklyn' in terms of inspiration," Bong says of the Heima sub-brand.
Along with its furniture and accessories, the Heima and My Apt. shops sell vinyl records, international design magazines, posters by Pop Chart Lab, audio gear, and more.
