I first stumbled upon Heima when I visited a photographer’s studio a couple of years ago. I asked the photographer where he had his place designed & he handed me a postcard with the interior designer’s details on it. That night, I fell asleep with a smile on my face knowing that there was actually a interior design & furniture company that shared my love for color! ‘Heima’ means “at home” in Icelandic and it has always been a treat to visit Heima‘s Cubao & Makati branches because the place looks different each time depending on the theme of their collection.

Fast forward to two years later, during the launch of their Stockholm St. x Heima neon scarves & pillows, I met a schoolmate whom I’ve interned with at an ad agency. She is now a fashion editor for a local paper. She asked me why I was there at an event. I didn’t know what to answer. I knew I was there because I loved Heima’s works so I just said, “Fan girl.” 🙂
Fan girl indeed. Hihi. If you have been following The Googly Gooeys on Instagram, you would have probably come across some Heima stuff:
1. MT Washi Tapes from Heima
2. Adobrable pastel-colored buntings at their Cubao branch during Fozzy’s calligraphy workshop
3. Electrolychee & Aleyn Comprendio’s postcards which are all with my friends by now 🙂
4. Ponggo (unshaven) posing with the Polaroid cam at their store 🙂
I always wanted to draw Heima furniture in one of the Googly Gooey posts. So, I wrote Rossy Yabut, Heima’s creative director, for a collab 🙂 I’m so happy she said yes! The pieces featured above are just some of my favorites across all Heima catalogs and the tall blue, teal, grey & orange drawer on #4 is a piece Ponggo & I bought just recently. 🙂 Yay! Finally, a Heima furniture piece here at home!
Ponggo & I will be seeing Rossy & Bong of Heima again later, along with some of my favorite artists and friends at the Bloom Arts Festival in Cubao! Some 90+ artists will be participating here and out of excitement, I actually volunteered to write about this for WheninManila. Haha. Bloom (or Bloom Chuchubelles as Dan Matutina calls it) will be from 5:30pm today until 1:30am tomorrow!
Ponggo & I are hoping to see some of you later..and yes, you’ll most probably find us at Heima. 😉
XOXO,
Tipsy
