GUNITA was designed to store thoughts, ideas, and stories. Gunita translates to “a memory or recollection.” This is a piece was made for those who love literature and a sense of nostalgia.

HABILING, was designed to be our most versatile piece. Habiling translates to “something given to someone for safe keeping.” While this piece is tall enough to be used as a chair or stool, the shelf below is made to keep things dear to you even closer. Whether you use it as storage, a bedside table, or a chair, the things you’d like to keep near will always be close.

Our most traditional design, YUGTO, was also our first. Yugto translates to “a fundamental transition in a story.” Since this was the first piece made that brought momentum to the vision of Depart Studio, it was only fitting that it was named Yugto.

Humaling side table/mini bench. Inspired by an early commission for my friend, Jason Annas . This piece was made from the concept of being fond of someone. Sitting at 2ft wide makes it wide enough for two, and enough storage for two.

Side table/storage. Inspired by traditional Filipino love songs. A nice piece for literature and records.

Ligtas - meaning safe and free from danger. A place of rest is where we’d hope to find solace. The Ligtas platform bed is offered in both Baltic Birch and Douglas Fir Plywood.
