Five Things We Love at Modernbrands Cebu

From modular sofas to daybeds, below are the five pieces we love from Modernbrands Cebu’s collection from the Danish sofa bed specialist, Innovation Living.

There’s a new furniture company in Cebu! The Zee editorial team got to test out their offerings during an afternoon of oooh-inducing demonstrations and pleasant conversations.

From modular sofas to daybeds, below are the five pieces we love from Modernbrands Cebu’s collection from the Danish sofa bed specialist, Innovation Living. Try not to order them straight to your door.

Ghia Laser HH Legs

Ghia in 520 Mixed Dance Grey

It doesn’t hurt to expect unexpected sleepovers. With the Ghia daybed, you don’t have to look for an extra bed because it is the extra bed. It has a three-step elevation on each side that allows you to lounge (or fall asleep) in different angles.

Filuca

Filuca in 519 Elegance Petrol

Filuca will help you make the most of your square meters. This oval-shaped sofa bed transforms into a lounger, a double bed, or two single beds. And what’s more, two of its legs have wheels. Talk about ease and comfort!

LOB Sofa Bed

LOB Sofa Bed in 216 Flashtex Slight Grey

This simple yet stylish sofa bed turns into a double bed using a slide-and-flip mechanism. Its mattress is comfortable and supportive but not deep. It comes with a hidden storage for sheets and blankets, too.

Gyda Puff Foldable Bed Quilt

Gyda Puff in 541 Velvet Dark blue

This multipurpose ottoman is proof that appearances can be deceiving. Using a simple folding mechanism, the Gyda transforms into a bed. It has a memory foam mattress, which relieves pain and evenly supports each part of your body by contouring to your curves. A good night’s sleep (or an afternoon nap) is guaranteed.

Cubed 90

Cubed 90 in 528 Mixed Dance Blue

If you don’t feel like sharing your personal space (we all have those days), Cubed 90 is for you. When not used as a chair to relax on, it converts into a bed.

If you need more options for the perfect sofa bed to sprawl on for a Netflix marathon or a reading session, check out the Modernbrands Cebu showroom. They have what you’re looking for, and more!

The Homes of Zee–Holiday Edition: Christmas House No. 12

Christmas House No. 12 – Heart-felt Holidays at the Hofers’

Check out why this holiday home is on our list of 12 Cebu homes this season. Zee.ph offers a glimpse of Cebu’s holiday homes from far and wide. Please follow our series as we bring you a different home in the next few days!

Nestled in Banilad, Cebu City, the George Hofer residence stands as testament to enduring elegance. Constructed in the late sixties to early seventies, the mansion exudes timeless charm with warm brown molave wood panels and pristine white marble floors.

Stepping into this grand abode during the Christmas season unveils a journey into a beautifully storied past. This season, Molave wooden entance, intricately carved with the Hofer couple’s monogram, are adorned with opulent yuletide garlands. White velvet poinsettias and persimmon peonies alongside mother of pearl camellias are interspersed with pearlescent berries. Archangel Michael showers the guests with blessings from above, while a macassar ebony wooden effigy of Saint George (slaying the dragon) pays homage to the house owner’s namesake.

Adjacent to a private elevator, a grandiose Christmas tree stands tall, welcoming guests into a sprawling waiting hall. Here, an angel in teal and gold lamé cloth grouped together with exotic blooms gracefully plays the lyre; seemingly entertaining those who await entry.

Further down the hall is an ecru grand piano, where the lady of the house, a skilled pianist, performs Monti’s Czardas, Schubert’s Ständchen, and other rhapsodies on special occasions. A commissioned portrait of George and Dulce hangs on a wall above a console table that separates the hall from the formal dining area.

The Hofer home exudes old-world elegance that is seldom found today, yet its true charm lies in the joyous laughter and warm greetings of the Hofers, who gather annually to share Christmas cheer and delightful yuletide stories in this vibrant space.

The Homes of Zee–Holiday Edition: Christmas House No. 11

Christmas House No. 11 – Christine Pelaez

Designed by the noted Cebu architect Teng Jacinto, this expansive residence stands as a testament to the artful curation of Jun Pelaez. Over the years, he has meticulously assembled a collection of artworks, transforming the home into a gallery that reflects his discerning taste and appreciation for the aesthetic.

As the holiday season graces the air, the residence undergoes a festive tone under the artful touch of Jun’s wife, Christine. Embracing tradition, she bathes the home in the classic Christmas palette of reds and greens, infusing each corner with warmth and seasonal charm. The interior becomes a canvas for the holiday spirit, adorned with wreaths, ornaments, and the timeless glow of twinkling lights.

However, the true heart of this home lies in its welcoming spirit. There are two dining rooms, with chairs adorned with red bows and festive centerpieces, where family and friends converge for an equally sumptuous meal.

Christmas House No. 10 – The Hudsons’ Christmas Chronicles

The Hudson’s household buzzes with enthusiasm each time the holiday season unfolds. The heart of their Tokyo home, the Hudson Christmas tree, stands tall and proud, adorned with tinsel and cherished trimmings that span the years of their family’s growth. Each ornament tells a story, marking the arrival of a new family member with the annual addition of baubles bearing their names: Mary, George, Victoria and Charles.

Charles, the youngest Hudson at twelve, beams with joy as he proudly places the Christmas star atop the tree. No longer reliant on his father’s shoulders, Charles revels in his newfound height and the welcomed responsibility that comes with it.

In addition to the twinkling blue lights, the festive icons and the white-and-silvery ornaments, another cherished tradition had been completed at the beginning of the joyful season. The Hudson’s much-anticipated Christmas cards, an exciting accountof the family’s adventures, had been creatively crafted by Rose and Karl. The lively narrative chronicles the milestones and quests of each family member, with Karl’s animated storytelling and Rose’s artistic touch bringing the tales to life.

Rose shares, “by mid-November we print two hundred post cards of the Hudson family chronicles. The entire family, from the oldest to the youngest, gathers around to sign each card. Envelopes are lovingly addressed, and the kids lend a hand in labeling.”

In a heartwarming shift of roles, the Hudson parents, Karl and Rose, prepare to pass the baton. The careful planning and distribution of the Christmas cards are soon to become the responsibility of the eager younger generation.

With laughter, love, and a touch of adventure, the Hudson family embraces the season, creating and sharing memories that they and their friends treasure for life.
