Philippine Tatler – August 2018

(ff) #1
ROOM WITH A VIEW The master’s bedroom looks
out onto the forest canopy; A relaxing soak with
a view; (opposite) Much of the art on display is
Robinson’s own, which he creates in a studio upstairs

“I am a napkin freak, I have 50,000 napkins,” before
presenting hand-dyed vintage linens from New York-
based Samatha Verrone Textiles, acquired on a visit
to the Big Apple.
Upstairs, the bedroom is the ultimate refuge.
Panoramic vistas over the forest canopy instill a
profound feeling of peace, which is echoed in the
reclaimed wood and sensational, spa-like bathroom.
However, it remains an extension of Robinson’s
irresistible aesthetic—one that is full of personality,
and, like any individual, constantly evolving. “Where
am I getting inspiration? It’s from travelling and seeing
and trying to take itallin.”He concludes, “Youhave
to embrace the new.”

“WHERE AM I GETTING


INSPIRATION? IT’S FROM


TRAVELLING AND SEEING


AND TRYING TO TAKE IT


ALL IN.” HE CONCLUDES,


“YOU HAVE TO EMBRACE


THE NEW”
