Gonzales is a creative director, consultant, and curator of various projects, such as the Pinyapel of the Design Center of the Philippines. Inspired by the Scandinavian designers, Gonzales aims to push boundaries of the country’s natural materials and encourage Filipino craftsmen to create new products and designs to help them keep up with the trends.
Modern-classic colorways “Blues on Blue” and “Naturals and White” are the foundation of this upcoming collection. Highlighted in the designs are the natural, handicraft flair of Filipino products, which were reimagined and paired with clean lines, minimalism, and modern silhouettes and textures chosen for their demand in the mainstream market.
