Italian brands are typically at the cutting edge of furniture design, but there’s one Italian brand that prides itself on going against the grain, not following trends, and using materials so precious and rare that Michelangelo himself once used them.
That brand is called Henge , and Casa Bella Home and Living owners Joseph Tay and Stephanie “Stenie” Coyiuto-Tay were so blown away by their pieces that they had to bring the brand to the Philippines.
The Tays were so taken by Henge that they have a handful of the brand’s pieces in their home. “So I like all the different kinds of stone for the tabletops, but even at home, our chandelier is from Henge,” Stenie reveals.
Henge was founded a decade ago by Paolo Tormena and his wife, architect and interior designer Isabella Genovese, in a remote area of Italy between Venice and Cortina, the Dolomites and the sea in the Prosecco hills, according to Henge’s sales director Patrizio Baldi Papini. For their raw materials Henge doesn’t go to suppliers but directly to mountain quarries to buy blocks of marble and stone, and once the slabs are finished, they’re gone forever, making the pieces crafted with them unique and exclusive.
