Family and friends gather around the Atoll Sofa by Antonio Citterio — its clean lines softened by plush cushions, perfect for cozy conversations. The Alanda ’18 Coffee Table by Paolo Piva adds a touch of sparkle, its geometric frame twinkling under candlelight and holiday décor. Above, the PH Artichoke Pendant from Louis Poulsen casts a soft, golden glow — like a modern take on Christmas lights.

Tucked to the side, the den becomes a favorite hideaway, anchored by the iconic Camaleonda Sofa by Mario Bellini. Its playful curves invite you to sink in with a cup of hot chocolate while watching a Christmas movie. The Button Table and Grande Papilio Armchair add both comfort and character.

The formal dining area sets the stage for holiday feasts, where the family comes together around a table framed by Acanto Chairs by Antonio Citterio — classic in form yet comfortable enough for long conversations over festive dishes. Nearby, the breakfast nook offers a more casual spot to enjoy morning coffee or merienda, with Husk Chairs by Patricia Urquiola bringing both comfort and contemporary charm to the everyday moments that make the holidays feel even more special.
For IDr. Chris, the beauty of Christmas at home lies in the details — the warmth of good design, the glow of familiar spaces, and the memories made around timeless pieces. With B&B Italia, this Filipino home celebrates not just the holidays, but a way of living that’s beautiful all year long.
