When choosing and buying appliances for your kitchen, which do you usually prioritize, form or function? It is a dilemma all homeowners need to address first before finally deciding which equipment to furnish their stylishly designed kitchen spaces.
Here’s a piece of good news for all homeowners and interior designers who prefer a perfect balance between form and function in appliances. Slovenian brand Gorenje (pronounced as ‘Gor-enn-ya’) is finally entering the Philippine kitchen appliances market through establishing its first showroom in the country, located at 165 Legazpi Street, Legazpi Village in Makati City.
