DF.STUDIO

DF.STUDIO is an interdisciplinary design practice based in Manila, Philippines.

Working at the intersection of architecture, interior, and product design, the studio examines how material, proportion, and context shape the way space is inhabited, used, and experienced. This inquiry spans scales, from spatial interventions and interiors to furniture and scenography, applied to residential, hospitality, F&B, and commercial projects.

“I'm drawn to ICC's vision of design as a shared, evolving story rather than a competitive marketplace, where studios remain distinct in perspective yet aligned in pursuit of quality and craft. My own aesthetic, built around minimal, structured forms and honest materials, would bring a Southeast Asian architectural voice into ICC's global network, one shaped equally by Filipino sensibility and international training. I see ICC's model of curated collaboration, from Edizioni to Design Partner studios, as a natural extension of how DF.STUDIO already works: precise, collaborative, and rooted in cultural specificity rather than generic luxury.”
