xO is a French furniture company founded by Gérard Mialet and Philippe Starck back in 1984.
It's great that more than 25 years later, it has finally reached our shores through Kuysen Enterprises, Inc.
Kuysen has the latest pieces from xO, including The Tooth, The Baby Bite and The Bonze

The great thing about these pieces is they work indoors and outdoors.
We no longer have to use those round and funky '60s wrought iron furniture with the scary glass top, or the wooden ones that can't weather the weather.
The xO Collection is now available at the Kuysen Showroom
236 E. Rodriguez Avenue, Barangay Don Manuel, Quezon City.
For more information call 740-7509 or 411- 9571
or email info@kuysen.com.

I love the Bite Me stool and the rocking chair. Too bad I don't have space for it...and I can't afford it. :P

Ms. C, when I read this: "The Bubu II, and more", ang basa ko was "Bubuli". :P

marcel wanders looks kinda like alec baldwin, dontcha think?

Nice furniture! Marcel came here to the Philippines a few years ago and did a short training (daw) on wood weaving under Kenneth Cobonpue. =)

wow shushal!! i want to visit Cebu

Go. Kenneth's showroom is open for viewing naman. Just get an appointment in advance. A lot to see in Cebu. Visit the Avatar Atelier (the shop beside Aranaz in GB5). Their factory is in Cebu. Bring Grace with you. I think she'll love it there. =)

what's a nice hotel?

Probably Shang Mactan. I like the Deluxe Rooms of Maribago Bluewater Resort. Huge clean bathroom .

Wow! I didnt know you can go, can you pleassseeee send me an address and number? Sayang i just got back from cebu 2 weeks ago. :)

Karim Rashid also visited manila a few years ago. :)

They're my top favorite product designers.....i've been wishing to meet them and see them face to face.....haaaays

Wow I'm really liking the Bonze! So Kelly Wearstler. Had just read her feature in Town & Country recently.

"Now we no longer have to use those round and funky '60s cast iron furniture with the scary glass top"
LOL everyone can relate! Can we have a contest for the best [wrought] iron garden set in existence? There are lots of variations ha.


Haha! Syet. Wrought iron nga

Hehe. Tao lang! :)

Hmm wow much did they retail it here? If Net prices are true, it would be quite affordable. For me at least, considering it looks like a piece of art and it's pretty formidable.
