<div><br/></div><p>As trends come and go, ones that have stayed as classics are truly worth celebrating.  We can still remember when the name Ito Kish was synonymous with a humble boutique of finds for the home in Greenbelt.  The retail merchandiser turned furniture and interior designer then debuted a collection of furniture he called “Baluster.”  Fans of local design will surely recall its launch in Manila FAME a decade ago.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/c76764a7-1b8c-445d-bc1c-c2b0fb6ef999_basilisa, gregoria accent chair, arellano vases and santamaria stools.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/living/tips/curated-home-summer-2022/32620" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Escape To Nature With This Home Collection </a></div><div><br/></div><p>“I can still very much remember the feeling of excitement when I launched it a decade ago during the 56th edition of Manila F.A.M.E. At the heart of it is the Gregoria lounge and chair— an homage to my mother, my <em>Inay</em>. It has since became my magnum opus, winning awards both locally and internationally. A hallmark piece in the Philippine furniture vocabulary,” reveals Ito Kish.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/f1ac0ef2-0436-4e6c-898a-1f451dd09606_pav_5218.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>Today, the Ito Kish furniture line is comprised of 12 collections that celebrate the ethos of Filpino culture and craftsmanship.
