We make personal things, made to be kept.
ipohaus is a one-room studio in Alabang. We engrave everyday things, wood, leather, steel, card, made to order and one at a time.

05The studio
One room. A few hours a day. Slow on purpose.
A three-by-two-metre home studio. Warm local materials, acacia and veg-tan leather, finished by hand. Nothing is mass-produced; each piece is made for one person.
Every one is logged by serial and ships with a note on how it was made, the way something meant to be handed down should arrive.

07Questions
How long does a piece take?
Five to ten working days from the moment you approve the artwork. Bigger batches get their own timeline up front, so you can plan around a real date.
Can I send my own design or logo?
Yes. Send a name, a logo, or a rough sketch and we'll set it for the laser. You see a proof before anything is cut, so nothing's a surprise.
Is there a minimum order?
One is fine for a personal piece. For corporate work, tell us the headcount and we'll quote the batch.
Do you do corporate gifts?
Yes, that's the Concierge line: small batches, packaging, and a spec sheet per order, handled by one person. There's a page for it under Concierge.
How do prices work?
Each piece shows a quiet "from" price, the floor for the simplest version. Size, material, and artwork move it from there. Build a piece and we'll firm up the number by email.
Where are you, and do you ship?
We're a home studio in Alabang and ship nationwide. Meet-ups around the south and the metro can be arranged. Everything leaves logged and numbered.
What if something arrives wrong?
If we got it wrong, a misspelling or a fault, we remake it. Personalised pieces can't be resold, so change-of-mind returns aren't possible, but a genuine mistake is on us.
