Matimco's House of Wood

*These are camera phone shots.

Check out Matimco's House of Wood in the just concluded Worldbex exhibit. A mesmerizing installation by Matimco. Here's Philippine Star article about this.

The house is 75% made of wood and guests were able to explore the different parts of the house that uses Matimco’s wood brands like Matwood, PCW and Weatherwood. Every piece of wood that is used in building the house is made from recycled, treated and engineered wood products that come from registered tree-farms around Asia, New Zealand and Australia. Matimco shared the experience of luxury, warmth and durability through its House of Wood.

I had few hours to see the whole exhibit, and it is in Matimco's house that I stayed the longest. Great job guys.

Ikea @ Amazon

Ikea products are now available on Amazon. Still dunno if they can bring down the shipping & handling of big & bulky Ikea furniture to acceptable cost. Because if the SH fee is high, buyers might just as well make a trip to Ikea showroom (and get free meatballs and interior design ideas as well) and do the shopping live.

Online furniture shopping isn't new in the US or here in the Philippines.

Even in the Philippines - Ikea or not - buyers are now embracing online furniture shopping. It's the first time that IKEA is available via Amazon, so it's news for us. For US buyers, you may want to check it out. Spend a little more time and you can find free shipping coupon. Please check our Leoque Philippines' A-Store (Amazon Store), we have an Ikea products section. We have there over 60 select IKEA products! Feel free to browse and if its economical to order online, please do so. Double check & compare Amazon prices with the main Ikea site.

Again, here is the A-Store Ikea link.
