Casa Euro Brings Luxury Home Furnishings to The Podium
Expanding its presence in the high-end homeware retail scene, Casa Euro opens its first flagship store at 3F The Podium. This spacious retail haven offers a wider, discerning edit of the world’s most esteemed home and kitchen brands, bringing international luxury to Filipino shores.
Treading a Path to Fine Living
Since its establishment in 2022, Casa Euro has dedicated itself to be a premier destination of authentic home products with exceptional design, craftsmanship, and innovation. The brand collective made its mark with three physical stores and four brand showrooms in Taguig, Makati, Mandaluyong, and Pasay. Each location houses a carefully selected assortment of their heritage homeware lines, showcasing a unique perspective on fine living.
And with this new expansive flagship, Casa Euro created a broader and more immersive shopping experience featuring five of their seven distributed brands.
The store launch event began with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Lucerne Managing Directors Emerson Yao and Ivan Yao, Assistant Vice President of Leasing Camie Salting, SM Supermalls Mall Manager Von Tan, and Casa Euro Brand Director May Yao-Que. This was followed by Yao-Que’s opening speech and a champagne toast to conclude the formal part of the night.
Guests were then treated to a delightful array of hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, and champagne, with techno performances by DJ Jimmy Nocon and Slori.
Inside the New Casa Euro Store
Unlike its previous stores focusing on one to four homeware lines at most, Casa Euro’s spot at The Podium lets you explore a richer variety of luxurious home items. This includes four timeless European brands and a Southeast Asian premier name.
Alessi
This Italian design factory has collaborated with more than 900 designers to craft over 1,400 unique and quirky everyday home items. Founded by Giovanni Alessi and Fratelli Alessi Omegna, it offers eclectic kitchen appliances, tools, and tabletop accessories. It’s “the dream factory” of unexpected and contemporary designs that spark joy and creativity in every homeowner’s life.
Wolf
Founded in 1834 by German jeweler and silversmith Philipp Wolf, the brand began by crafting boxes for his own products. Five generations of skilled artisans in the family have continued this tradition of boxmaking. And now it has become globally recognized for its exquisite watch storage boxes and rotators, fine quality gift items, and jewelry cases with patented technology.
EuroCave
Dubbed as the “creator of the wine cabinet,” this French manufacturing brand takes pride in wine and wine cellaring. Since 1976, it has elevated the bar in wine storage and service with its world-pioneering handmade wine cabinet. Through its mastery of wine preservation, it has become the lone wine cabinet manufacturer to earn the Origine France Garantie and Living Heritage Company (EPV) labels. Now, it also offers customized wine cellars and cigar humidors.
Villeroy & Boch
This French-German ceramic producer has been producing innovative and stylish dinnerware since 1748. With a great focus on the enjoyment of meals steeped in European tradition, you’ll find an extensive range of unique and timeless tableware, glassware, and cutlery collections.
Orient Crown
Born in the vibrant city-state of Singapore in 2010, it’s the crown jewel of Southeast Asia’s watch winder industry. Renowned for its state-of-the-art technology and elegant designs, it has established itself as the premier choice for customized watch winders, safes, and jewelry vaults.
Casa Euro: Your New Christmas Shopping Destination
Serving as the Filipino connoisseur’s answer to world-class home adornment, Casa Euro isn’t simply a home for luxury everyday home items. Arriving in time for the festive season, this new flagship store could also be your essential stop for gifts with distinct and discriminating taste.
