So happy to visit one of the Top Filipino designers, Rajo Laurel. He has his own beautiful 5-storey building which has his office, his staff of 270 people, his manufacturing (all handmade) and his showroom. 
Art installation by Rajo Laurel 🙂 right by the entrance of the building
Rajo is only 43 years old and he is so accomplished and successful – More power to you Rajo!! Come visit him here everyday except Sundays – House of Laurel 6013 Villena cor. Mañalac Street, Poblacion, Makati City
OMG! Rajo is OC and I love it 🙂 Appointment book which is so busy yet so neat and organized,
his pin cushion which is an artwork on its own the way he organizes it by color
and his pencils on his desk.
Overall everything in his space is so neat, organized and clean.
Rajo has a library on the second floor of his building 
A batya with a Vermeer which he bought in Art in the Park
and in one shelf he has a collection of Vogue magazines since 1984- so that is 30 years worth of Vogue ( last two rows of this shelf)
A vintage Apple computer!!!
Some of Rajo’s Artworks!! Rajo told me that his art mentor is Dr. Cuanang. He is also a Board Director of the ACCP Asian Cultural Council of the Philippines and he also patronizes the artists. John Marin an ACCP artist, 
Eugenia Alcaide’s thread art
and Tom Dixon chair with a vintage Gucci bag

Across Rajo’s building is another lot. He told me he bought this lot too! 
More in store in Rajo’s future!! Another building, another chapter. More new things in store. So looking forward. He calls his area ( Poblacion) a gentrification of Williamsburgos 🙂
