From Modest Origins to Generations of Craftsmanship
Philux was founded in 1980 by Max and Zelda Kienle on a simple belief: that Filipino craftsmanship deserves a place among the world's finest.
What began with a husband and wife working alongside two carpenters has grown into a house of more than 200 artisans, designers, and specialists, with a central workshop and showrooms strategically located across Metro Manila.
The Process Behind Every Piece
The majority of Philux pieces are designed and produced in-house, shaped by traditional Filipino techniques and refined through decades of collective knowledge. Alongside these are curated finds and collaborations that complement the brand’s evolving design language.
Philux furniture is defined by clarity of form, material integrity, and a considered balance of function and refinement. Each piece reflects the character of its selected materials, the skill of its artisans, and processes refined over time.
Four Decades of Turning Houses Into Homes
Today, the second generation, Stephanie and Jessica Kienle, continues to shape Philux, building on decades of knowledge while bringing a contemporary perspective to Filipino craftsmanship.
The result is enduring furniture that carries the Filipino story forward, celebrating a culture of craftsmanship shaped by the Philippines and shared with a global audience.
