HEART EVANGELISTA
On November 2, 2024, Heart offered viewers an exclusive tour of her Paris apartment on her GMA-7 reality series, Heart World.
During the episode, she referred to her Iceberg chair as “my favorite spot in the house.”
She said, “This is from a [Belgian] designer.
“The story was, they had a long-distance relationship and they would send each other stuffed toys. I love stuffed toys.
“And then, when they finally got married, they decided to bring all of their stuffed toys and create furniture.
“But this isn’t, ano, this is a replica or the idea, the concept of their love story. And I fell in love.”

Heart revealed that purchasing the chair was a way to heal her inner child, especially given her love for collecting stuffed toys. It was also one of the first pieces of furniture she bought when settling into her Paris home.
Heart said, “Siyempre dahil nga, inaalagaan natin yung inner child natin… na minsan yung inner child nga iyan, masyado nagwawala.
“Gustung-gusto ko siyang bilhin. Pero ang bigat-bigat niya. And then finally, noong nakuha ko yung apartment ko, yun talagang una kong kinuha.”
