DORNBRACHT Celebrates Diamond Jubilee, Showcases ATELIER Line

DORNBRACHT is a German luxury bath and spa fittings brand founded in the 50's by Aloys Dornbracht and son Helmut. They are celebrating their 75th year and had a showcase of their best ware at their showrooms in Twenty Four Seven Building in BGC. They are supplied in the Philippines by Focus Global under their Bath brand together with other premium names in the market. 

At the event, they showcased DORNBRACHT's Atelier line to exhibit the various ways they can do fixtures. What we got from that is simple, they can do anything you can imagine. The faucet and knobs that have been exquisitely designed was added with layers of brass, gold, feather, egg shells, leather, mother of pearl and more. The finishes were stunning. reminiscent of bubble reflections, draped blue fowl feathers, and leather from the best craftsmen in Germany, Switzerland and other EU countries.

Here's a short tour of the showroom. If you fancy it, get in touch with them through their social channels to arrange an appointment, or just visit the Twenty Four Seven building on office hours.

They also held a short program to commemorate DORNBRACHT's Diamond Jubilee. Stephen Sy of Focus Global says "This is a reflection of the 75 years of Dornbracht. It marks more than 12 years of partnership with Focus Global. Water is now part of design and wellness because of them. They always set new standards, and as partners we see that together with designers, architects, engineers and consumers. We are grateful for the trust and excited for the opportunities ahead in the years to come. Here's to many more with Dornbracht!"

Kevin the Regional Head or Dornbracht says "75 years is a long time, but we are the only brand to continue and focus on taps and showers. We are the luxury brand producing it from Germany to the region. We are focused on maintaining presence in this segment. Thank you for being here!"

They also shared how their pieces have been installed in several hotels in the country as part of their spa centers. If you have something in mind, a dream or two, they can do it. Tell them and they've got folks who can source everything, and make that possible. Their current collection speaks volume of what design, craftsmanship and passion can do. 

Congratulations to DORNBRACHT! Congratulations on 12 years in the Philippines, and 75 years around the world! 

Our Quezon City Blogventure!

Quezon City's 75th Diamond Jubilee just had to be seen online and we're up to something good this weekend so we roamed the streets of this glorious city. We went to three different places yesterday with my fellow Team Suspects (Rodel, Earth and Ruth) plus a couple more bloggers (Angelyn and Marco Demo, Gracee, Iyane, Kat) so people could see the nice things the city has to offer. Here's a rundown of things we went to yesterday. ETON Centris, Bantayog ng mga Bayani and Banawe's Chinatown. Although I wasn't able to hop on to Chinatown, I was able to cover the Mardi Gras thingy in Tomas Morato which is equally spectacular!

See what I mean? Now this is just the tip of the iceberg, we're also going to watch a rock concert with Parokya Ni Edgar and Rocksteddy this 7PM at the Quezon City Memorial Circle. Best of all, it's FREE so just bring your friends and family. Come one, come all!

It's My City: Quezon City on it's Diamond Jubilee

I've lived in this city my whole life. A dream actually sparked its inception when Manuel L. Quezon thought of putting all the government agencies, several residential and housing projects in one place. This is Quezon City - and we're celebrating it's 75th year with a grand Diamond Jubilee celebration. The local government kicked it off a few days ago in Quezon City Memorial Circle. 

The New Manila house of the great former president now has an exact replica at the QCMC grounds and sits right across the Quezon City Hall. It's accessible via the underpass right in front of it. It's called the Quezon Heritage House and it'll serve as a museum to house memorabilia and tours from hereon.

Aside from these new structures, there will be several events in various places inside the city that you should watch out for. Tomorrow October 6 til October 9 is the start of Quezon City International Pink Festival which will happen in Gateway Mall Cinema 1. Today until the 11th, Novena masses will be done in the QC Hall lobby every 12 noon dedicated to QC's patron Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary of La Naval Manila. The state of the city address with Mayor Herbert Bautista will be on October 12 at the Carlos Albert Hall in Quezon City Hall. On the 19th is the Manuel L. Quezon Gawad Parangal Night where the city's most outstanding citizens will be awarded at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. The Diamond Jubilee Mardi Gras where you can see 500 costumed festival dancers from all over the Philippines in a parade right in Tomas Morato (I'll be there btw!). Plus the QC Grand Parade of Lights from 7PM to 11PM on the same day. The same parade of lights will take a different route on October 11 and will culminate un a QCROCKS@75 celebration in Quezon Memorial Circle where they'll put up a stage where Parokya ni Edgar, Rocksteddy, stand up comedians and various artists to end the night. We'll be posting live updates for that btw! So follow kumagcow on twitter, instagram, facebook and youtube!

We also did a photoshoot during the event last week and we can't wait to tell you more about my city! Are you guys excited?! I know I am! :)
