Destonos introduces a sculptural furniture collection inspired by volcanic ash, spirit, and time. The collection captures the raw power of volcanic ash, transforming it into beautiful and collective memory pieces. Destonos’ design philosophy is rooted in the material, collected after an eruption in Pampanga, Zambales, and Bataan provinces. The collection transforms chaos into sculpture and destruction into design, showcasing the company’s deep reverence for nature and craft.
“In every fragment of ash, there’s a trace of story, of land reshaped, of people who rebuilt, and of spirit that endured,” shares Shirley Dy, co-founder of Destonos. “We saw an opportunity not just to create furniture, but to crystallize these lived experiences into lasting, tactile memory.”
More than objects of beauty, Destonos pieces are living mementos of the natural world—each one a fusion of sculptural elegance. Their tactile depth, careful material choices, and evocative silhouettes invite viewers and collectors into a multisensory dialogue between design and nature.
Destonos was born in Concepcion, Tarlac, a place shaped, like its materials, by layers of history, upheaval, and quiet reinvention. Each piece draws from this landscape, an ongoing memory, cultural continuity carried in matter.
“Every shape we cast, every texture we preserve is a quiet homage to time itself,” says Douglas Dy, co-founder of Destonos. “The hands of our craftsmen carry the gestures of those who came before, merging generations of regional knowledge and contemporary vision into timeless pieces.
By drawing from the geographical and cultural tapestry of the Philippines, Destonos bridges heritage with design innovation. The pieces serve as temporal markers—capturing the essence of place, the touch of its artisans, and the spirit of moments both fleeting and enduring.
At its core, Destonos is an act of transformation, turning nature’s entropy into harmony. The collection reflects an artistic commitment to global design excellence while remaining firmly rooted in the local.
This balance of heritage and innovation speaks to a cross-continental synthesis of design. Filipino ingenuity has long existed. What we’re doing is giving it a new global language,” Shirley shares. “We want Destonos to speak to anyone who understands beauty, regardless of where they come from.”
From the interplay of raw textures to the sculptural precision of form, each Destonos creation invites conversation. These are not merely furniture pieces, they are fragments of geography, timekeepers of history, and vessels of spirit.
Destonos redefines design paradigms by pushing the boundaries of furniture through a deliberate interplay of nature, culture, and artistic mastery. The collection is a quiet yet powerful homage to transformation, anchored in Filipino identity and shaped by modern craftsmanship.
Each piece is made with reverence for people, for place, for time. These are not just objects to occupy space; they are objects that hold space, telling stories, honoring moments, and shaping new ones.
