Once again, the innovative, conscious Filipino has proven to all that beyond the country’s current circumstances, we are still a race worthy of international acclamation. Cara Sumabat and Rocco Sumabat, pioneering minds behind HALOHALO Inc.—the recently proclaimed “Product of the Year 2017” at the ArteFino local design fair, is an example of the latter.
For those of you who aren’t in the loop, HALOHALO Inc. is a brand that magnifies the vibrance and creativity of our multi-dimensional Filipino heritage. Their roster of signature products such as the banig, bayong, and sopa—while made from recycled, eco-friendly materials such as plastic and cushion grade foam, exude a unique type of luxurious energy that only Filipino culture and traditions can offer.
In line with this, we urge you to block off November 21 for the HALOHALO limited edition pop-up concept at The Alley at Karrivin, done in collaboration with the luxury purveyor and lifestyle emporium Lanai Manila. Experience the refreshing array of products HALOHALO has to offer with the theme #HaloHaloHome: a gift-ready offering of small goods, handbags and home accessories perfect for the holiday season.
“I feel incredibly humbled by the simple idea that we get to do what we do. Our passion is putting together functional design, hand-in-hand with Filipino craft and ethically conscious decisions — I’m still in shock with the amount of attention and crazy response our small brand is getting. So when the opportunity for a small holiday pop-up came up with Lanai, I saw #HaloHaloHome as a chance to say thank you to our loyal clients and customers,” states Cara.
In an ideal world, the ultimate end-goal is to have a HALOHALO piece in every Filipino household.
Exclusively sold offline for the moment, #HaloHaloHome is open one-day-only on November 21, 2017 at Lanai Manila at The Alley at Karrivin, 2316 Chino Roces Extension, Makati, Metro Manila
