00:53.3
So when we say Scandinavian, it is this style ng design that focuses on functionalism and minimalism.
01:00.0
So Ikea products are the best representation of that kasi yung products nila malinis tignan, very functional,
01:07.3
and it makes small spaces like this look much larger.
01:11.9
And not to mention, sustainable pa ito at a relatively affordable price which pag-uusapan natin yun mamaya.
01:18.7
Anywho, let's move on dito sa unang work surface ni Crystal.
01:22.5
So this is where she prepares and packs yung mga candle orders for shipping.
01:27.6
So for the table surface, we bought this.
01:30.0
Ikea Linman table top.
01:32.1
To be honest, medyo naingit ako dito sa tables niya.
01:35.7
Tapos, dalawa pa yung binili niyang tables.
01:39.0
So that's a pretty good move, my dudes. I'm not gonna lie.
01:41.3
Now, at first, medyo nabahala ako kasi medyo magaan itong ating table top.
01:46.6
But upon closer inspection and testing, nagulat ako na very, very sturdy siya.
01:52.1
And the reason for that is because gumamit sila ng honeycomb structure sa loob nitong table top na ito
01:58.6
para less ang romance.
02:00.0
So for this one table, it costs 1,190 pesos para sa ating table top and then another 1,200 pesos para sa apat na legs.
02:17.3
A little under 2,500 pesos for this whole table and I'm pretty happy sa presyo na yan.
02:23.8
Affordable and sustainable.
02:25.8
Now, above this table, andyan yung packaging paper holders ni Crystal.
02:30.0
Hindi ko talaga alam yung tawag sa papel na yan.
02:34.1
Invento ko lang yun.
02:35.4
For all I know, this could be called sunburned Manila paper.
02:39.0
But you know, for now, we'll just call it packaging paper.
02:41.6
Anyway, yung holders na humahawak dyan sa ating packaging paper ay yung Nerebi from Ikea
02:47.8
which costs around 250 pesos.
02:50.9
And I love the way it looks.
02:53.2
Very, very functional.
02:54.8
So pag sinabi nating functional, it means isang tingin mo pa lang.
02:58.5
Alam mo na yung gamit.
03:00.0
Function ng isang bagay.
03:02.0
So ito mukha siyang sabitan ng papel and mga tapes.
03:06.4
That's because it is a sabitan.
03:09.1
So straightforward and simple.
03:11.6
Moving on sa tabi nito, we have the tower of printers ni Crystal.
03:15.8
So from the top, we have some speakers, a CNC cutter, pangkat ng mga stickers and whatnots.
03:21.6
And then sa ilalim nito, we have the Cavizel letter tray.
03:25.1
Of course, galing Ikea rin.
03:27.0
So this one looks really, really sleek.
03:30.0
And nagulat ako kasi nung binuhat ko siya, medyo mapigat pala ito.
03:33.6
And surprisingly matibay.
03:35.0
That is because gawa ito sa bakal, my dudes.
03:38.6
So isang advantage ng bakal yung pagkakagawa nito ay hindi siya ganung kadali masira.
03:44.3
And mas matibay siya, meaning less waste para sa ating environment.
03:48.6
So pagdating naman natin dito sa baba, oh my God, what the emotional damage.
03:54.7
The cable management, my dudes, like what do you, where do you,
04:00.0
how do you, ayusin ko ito.
04:04.0
Pag nagka-time ako, I deeply apologize for that.
04:07.1
Order na lang ulit siguro kami ng Ikea cable management doodads para may tagoy ang mga yan.
04:12.0
Which by the way, my dudes, pwede na kayong magpabudol sa Ikea online.
04:16.4
Kung saan pwede kayong umorder, then have it delivered directly sa bahay nyo.
04:20.6
Or you can pick them up yourself at certain Ikea collection points.
04:25.3
Okay, moving on from that wiring disaster which I am now going to block with my body.
04:29.8
So that you don't see it.
04:31.9
Dito naman na tayo sa workstation ni Crystal.
04:34.8
And oh my goodness, what is that?
04:38.2
Bakit naka-portrait yung kanyang mousepad?
04:42.5
Okay, so aside from that, I really like what Crystal did here.
04:46.4
As you can see, naka-elevate yung kanyang laptop.
04:49.7
Then, mayroon din siyang drawer dito for organizational purposes.
04:53.5
So this is a great use of space pag di natin ginagamit yung keyboard.
04:56.6
Naka-tuck in siya dyan.
04:58.3
Then labas lang natin.
04:59.5
And dahil nga nakaangat itong ating laptop, mas ergonomic na siya kasi halos ka-eye level ko ito.
05:06.2
Which is typically what you want your screen to be at is ka-eye level para makaiwas tayo sa back pain.
05:13.0
Kasi pag mababa yan, tendency mo nakaganon ka.
05:16.4
So this mahiwagang ergonomic bagay na pang padiretso ng likod is another item from Ikea.
05:22.4
So this is the 11 monitor stand.
05:24.7
I believe ganon yung pagkakapronounce.
05:30.1
Naka-elevate na yung jokes natin.
05:33.3
Anyway, kung titignan natin dito is naka-mechanical keyboard din pala si Crystal.
05:37.3
So props for using a mechanical keyboard.
05:39.7
All in all, I would give this desk setup a 12 over 10.
05:44.0
Kasi dati meron siyang heavy black looking table na gawa sa bakal dito.
05:49.5
But now, pinalitan na namin.
05:51.1
It looks much more maaliwalas and magaan sa pakiramdam.
05:54.7
All thanks to these items that we got from Ikea.
05:59.5
All of these items, napansin ko na naging mas passionate si Crystal mag-work.
06:03.8
So she spends more time working here now.
06:06.9
Moving on, sa tabi niyang table na yan is we have this fiddle leaf fig.
06:12.7
So this fiddle leaf fig, estimate ko around 8 feet tall to.
06:16.1
As you can see, halos kahit ko na siya.
06:18.8
Around 7 foot 3 lang kasi ako eh.
06:21.2
Medyo nabansot ako ng onte.
06:24.1
Ayon yung maniwala, sukatin natin.
06:26.4
We have a metal right here.
06:29.3
Oh no, nasira yung metro.
06:30.8
Hindi ko na masukat.
06:32.1
Obvious kasi nungalik yan.
06:33.5
Aside sa likod ng workstation ni Crystal, may kita natin na meron tayong malaking window
06:38.7
which provides tons of natural light dito sa studio space ni Crystal.
06:43.4
Kaya mukhang maaliwalas dito sa umaga.
06:47.0
Sa gabi, close mo na lang yan kasi baka merong manananggal na makakita sa'yo.
06:54.9
So aside from the manananggal, another downside ng manalaking windows tulad nito,
07:01.0
Luckily, north facing windows ito.
07:03.6
Ibig sabihin, north yan.
07:06.0
And because of that, limited lang indirect sunlight na papasok dito sa kwarto na ito.
07:11.5
Pero marami pa rin nice soft diffused light na pumapasok.
07:15.9
So yung mga diffused light is perfect for indoor plants like this fiddle leaf fig.
07:20.5
Now, let us proceed dito sa candle pouring station ni Crystal.
07:25.1
So on this side, meron tayong Ikea eket cabinets.
07:29.3
And sa loob nito, we have some of Crystal's candle pouring stuff.
07:33.1
Some madud candles, pampabango ng buhay nyo.
07:36.2
Hurry, while stocks last.
07:37.8
Shameful plug aside, itong eket cabinets, I believe, cost around 6,300 pesos each.
07:44.0
So meron tayong tatlo dyan.
07:48.8
Pero in my opinion, sulit naman siya since madali lang namin ito na-assemble.
07:53.9
And yung material nito, gawa siya sa particle board, which is made out of recycled wood.
07:59.3
Wood from sawmill waste na kinukompress nila.
08:02.9
Then, ginagaw ang boards.
08:04.9
Tapos, papatungan lang nila ng veneer tulad nitong white na veneer dito to make it durable and longer lasting.
08:12.3
And isa pang kaganda ng particle boards, my dudes, ay madali itong ma-recycle to be repurposed as a different type of product in the future.
08:20.6
So ang Ikea products get a 12 over 9 score for me dahil sa sustainability nila, ease of assembly,
08:27.3
and syempre, yung itsura.
08:29.3
Now, sa taas nitong ating sideboard cabinets, we have some plants and...
08:35.6
Andito pala nakalagay yung sabaw ng mang inasal.
08:40.0
Kaya pala, never ako nabigyan ng sabaw.
08:42.6
Napakalayo ng pagkukuhana nila.
08:44.6
Actually, itong mga ito, my dudes, ay yung wax melters ni Crystal na ginagamit niya for melting her candle wax.
08:53.7
So I like it. Very, very bulalo chic.
08:56.2
Also, yung mga yan ay nakapatong dito sa...
08:59.3
Ikea Variera Shelf Inserts, which we repurposed para gawing platform dito sa ating wax melters.
09:07.4
So according to Crystal, maganda itong mga platform na ito dahil kahit puno itong dalawang ito ng wax,
09:12.5
ay hindi siya nagwi-wiggle, jiggle, jiggle for sure.
09:16.8
Also, kaya namin tinaas ay para pag nagbubuhos ng wax, boom! Sakto yung pitcher sa ilalim.
09:23.2
Now, katabi naman ito, we have the Ikea Scadis Pegboard.
09:27.7
Of course, nung nakita ko,
09:29.3
bumili si Crystal nito, ay bumili rin ako para sa akin, pero hindi ko pa namamag.
09:33.9
But you know, yung kagandahan nitong Scadis ay gawa siya sa fiberboard, which is a durable material na gawa sa leftover wood.
09:42.1
So, imbis na masasayang yung kahoy na yun, nire-purpose ng Ikea pang gawa nitong Scadis Pegboards nila.
09:48.9
So, sa harap naman niyang ating Scadis Pegboard, meron tayo nitong lucky hand-waving pusa ni Crystal,
09:55.2
which every business owner needs this.
09:57.9
Pang-attract daw yan ng swerte.
09:59.3
Like, hindi ko talaga sure kung para saan yan.
10:01.3
So, let's just move on dito sa central workspace ni Crystal.
10:05.7
So, dito, makikita natin ay meron tayong adjustable na work table with a lag cap, 10 table top,
10:12.5
and some mid-back adjustable legs from Ikea.
10:15.8
So, itong mid-back na legs ay pwede natin siya gawing seating position.
10:19.9
So, naibababa siya, and naitataas din siya, katulad nito, to a standing position.
10:24.5
So, titignan natin ang malapitan, meron tayong adjustment holes.
10:27.6
Ililipat lang natin itong peg dyan para maibaba itong buong ito.
10:31.7
You can adjust this, depende kung gaano kahaba yung leeg mo.
10:35.2
And also, pwede din itong gawing slanted table para sa mga drawerists and artists out there.
10:42.1
Now, this table costs around Php 1,390 para sa table top and around Php 3,600 para sa ating legs.
10:52.2
So, kung papansinin natin itong mid-back ay mukha siyang harang sa sidewalk,
10:57.6
but actually, yung ganitong form is called a trestle, and it is very, very sturdy.
11:04.5
Kaya nga mataas yung grades nito, because it's always sturdy.
11:14.5
Anyway, gawa din nito sa birch, so makikita.
11:22.8
So, makikita natin, maganda yung kahoy niya.
11:25.3
So, gawa ito sa birch, which is a really...
11:27.6
really nice type of wood, so very, very durable type of wood, renewable, and recyclable.
11:33.0
Okay, so 100% ng wood na ginagamit ng IKEA is sourced from sustainable sources,
11:38.7
meaning, may dinaanang matinding requirements para masiguro nilang galing ito
11:44.0
sa responsibly managed forest na hindi nakakasama sa environment.
11:49.1
So, isa yun sa mga rason kung bakit IKEA furniture and accessories yung pinili namin ilagay dito,
11:54.5
because they make an effort to make sure na sustainable,
11:57.4
yet affordable ang kanilang mga products.
12:00.0
Actually, pag binisita nyo yung website, I'm sure ma-addict din kayo mag-add to cart.
12:05.1
They have so much products for every space ng bahay nyo.
12:08.4
I mean, look how Crystal Studio turned out.
12:11.8
Nakakaingan nyo talaga magtrabaho dito.
12:14.6
Pinadali nitong furniture na ito yung workflow niya.
12:18.0
So, from receiving orders dito, what? May order ako.
12:22.3
Naka-off yung screen, how do I know?
12:25.2
Business-mindedness.
12:27.4
So, bad Tito jokes aside, tulad ng sinasabi ko,
12:29.7
yung workflow ni Crystal is makaka-receive ng orders dito, ibe-verify,
12:34.1
and then from there, mag-move on to creating your orders.
12:37.8
So, ipopore na yung wax dito sa likod.
12:43.3
And then, from there, hahaluan ng scents yung kanyang wax,
12:47.4
and ipopore na into these candle containers tulad nito.
12:52.3
And then, pag fully cured na yung candles na yan, ititrim yung kanyang wicks,
12:56.3
ilalagay dito sa order.
12:57.4
Baskets, and then dadalhin dito sa area na ito for packaging and printing of labels.
13:04.6
Magmula dito, boom! Tapos, your order is sent out.
13:10.7
Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
13:12.5
So, for now, maliit lang itong studio ni Crystal for our small business,
13:16.7
pero tulad din yan ng sustainability.
13:18.8
What better way than to start small and start here?
13:22.4
And eventually, yung maliliit na steps mo will bring you to a much bigger,
13:27.4
So, kung gusto nyo mag-shopping but still abide by the hashtag sustainable life code,
13:33.1
go and visit ikea.ph to shop online or go to their Pasay City physical store
13:38.6
and experience the IKEA furnitures and accessories in person.
