32 CEMEX+ME 1st Half of 2004 /MANILA, PHILIPPINES "It's a matter of style, needs and tastes. Know what you are inclined at and then things will fall into place." Jonathan Matti
You can spot the signature red crystal even from a distance. Colors have a bold streak mixed with neutrals like browns and beiges. “It’s like that in fashion where we see a lot of neutrals with splashes of color. The monochromatic earth tone color is slowly fading. Fashion and interiors are intertwined,” says Jonathan. “The trend now is going back to what looks natural, like beautiful wood, natural stone, rich silk, and light velvets with a sheer feel," he says. Candles, a common fixture in many homes for many, many years now, will always be there according to Jonathan. He says “Every home should always have them and use them on a regular basis. I personally like tapered and tea candles for my candelabras at home." YOUR STYLE, YOUR PASSION Then again, Jonathan insists that these trends that he cites are just guides and are simply secondary to personal style or preference. Ultimately, it is the owner who will create the over-all look of his home. “It’s a matter of style, needs, and tastes,” says Jonathan. “Know what you are inclined to and then things will fall into place.” To cultivate style, Jonathan suggests being observant and being open. “Reading helps a lot to opening one’s eyes. Think out of the box. Eventually, your instinct will guide you.” When personal taste becomes the basis of what is beautiful and stylish, there will be no such thing as ugly or unattractive. “People have different tastes,” says Jonathan. “I think it’s unfair when something is labeled ugly. It would be more appropriate to say that it is not your taste. You could say that you would have done it in another way. You could still take it for its inherent style and the process that went through in putting together the whole look.” It’s all about knowing what you want. Take it from passionate design director/architect/ interior designer Jonathan G. Matti. “You should follow your passion; whatever motivates you will be reflected in one's design. Silver is very chic, says trendspotter Jonathan Matti.
