Cebu welcomes a new space for thoughtful design with the opening of Prestige. This lighting showroom brings together pieces from around the world alongside works by Filipino artists and makers. The space is meant to feel more like a gallery than a store—somewhere you can wander, linger, and see how light changes a room or an object.

Prestige offers clients the option to personalize or customize lighting, making the experience less about choosing from a catalog and more about shaping something that fits a home or project. The layout encourages that kind of exploration, with each corner showing a different way light can set a tone or mood.

The showroom features a mix of international brands known for their craft and design approach. From the Czech Republic, Bomma brings mouth-blown crystal pieces with sculptural forms. Italy’s Leucos offers Murano glass lighting that blends long- standing glassmaking traditions with contemporary lines. Spanish brands Mantra and Olè add modern collections that focus on clean shapes and materials chosen with care for the environment.

Prestige also showcases Filipino craftsmanship through pieces by Hacienda Crafts and Industria, both of which use local materials and techniques while supporting artisan communities.

A notable part of the showroom is its focus on artist-designed lighting— pieces in which light and artwork are inseparable. The Fleur collection by French-Filipino textile artist Olivia d’Aboville features pleated handwoven Cebu raffia shaped into soft, organic forms supported by metal stems with integrated lighting. Prestige also presents exclusive works by multidisciplinary artist Leeroy New, including his Nautilidae and Whorl collections, which use buri, freshwater shells, and raffia to create expressive, almost creature-like silhouettes. His one-of-a-kind Sacred Heart lamps and sculpted mirrors are also on display, each accompanied by an artist’s certificate.

Through its mix of global design, local craft, and artist-led pieces, Prestige offers Cebu a place to explore lighting not just as a functional element, but as something that can shape atmosphere, texture, and character.
