ZARATE MANILA was established in the Philippines in 2015 and today is a proudly Filipino retail lifestyle brand. Founded by Jim Zarate-Torres, the main focus of his designs is to disrupt the limitation of simplicity - to redefine and push the boundaries of perception and composition. With his passion for furniture design, art and objects, he takes a graphic, structured or architectural approach. Most of his concepts are defined by a reference to something - infused with design codes that are translated differently - elevating, reworking, and reconstructing the original to a more contemporary, imaginative, and vibrant aesthetic.
Zarate exemplifies bold, progressive ideals with a textural aesthetic. Seeking inspiration through the art of crafting unforeseen notions, the studio searches for a balance between minimalism and traditional crafting. From subtle detail to bold signature elements, the brand is infused with seamless design discipline in each handcrafted piece. These factors are expressed in a range of furniture, lighting, and home accessories that are used in everyday living.
