Originally inspired from an exploration with discarded wood, Waiting Bench reimagines waiting as a shared experience rather than a solitary act. Built from assembled slats, its form reflects the way time and space are negotiated between people—somewhere to sit, to pause, to exist together. The varied grain and subtle irregularities embrace imperfection, reminding us that waiting is not just about patience but also presence.

Served as the staging table for the Escolta Memory Box instllation at the First United Building, Manuel table is a CNC cut plywood table that functions as surface for objects giving them their own nooks and corners to be appreciated from afar and up close.

This bedside table explores how far you can shift the center of gravity before you lose stability. Crafted in Tanguile, a hardwood also known as Philippine Mahogany. It features a sturdy foundation intersected by gentle corners. A strip of Mahogany interrupts the two larger planes to match the movement of the upper plane.
