The rise of wireless connectivity, laptops, and tablets allowed today’s workforce to become flexible and mobile at work. Most recently, the workplace is not confined into office corners anymore as more versatile work arrangements are on the rise like working from home and co-working spaces. Adjusting to meet this change, modular designs that feature flexible pieces are put into the spotlight.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

The world around us is changing and so should the way we feel inside our homes. Establishing a calm tranquil abode goes beyond design aesthetic and the elements in it; it starts with simple, mindful home practices that allow you to re-energize and stay stress-free. Think of the living room as our indoor escape, a living breathing space where we feel the most relaxed. The way we design and style this space pulls everything together and makes a house a home.

Being cocooned in the safety of our living spaces made us rethink the way we live and work indoors. Lines between rooms are now blurring. Open floor plans require functional pieces where the living room can be a personal workspace as well as a communal space where the family can take a break, linger, and rest. The kitchen as the heart of the home can double as a dining space, one area where we prepare and share food. Although shifted to fit the new normal standards with multi-functional spaces, our homes are first and foremost our place of solace. We now give as much importance to living and breathing spaces and as we do to our home offices and working corners.

The everyday life in recent years has been perpetually preoccupied with piles of work, buzzing mobile devices, and notification alerts from different social applications. Having to miss out on recent trends is not an option. As everyone yearns for a work-life balance, it tends to leave them multitasking and ironically, actually miss out on the present; to be in the moment.

An artful taste does not always require impractical utility, and the modern home proves that décor is function. For this year's edition of Manila FAME, Triboa Bay Living introduces a new collection of chairs, tables, case goods, and lighting fixtures that goes beyond mere functionality.
