Principal Designers
IDr. Rhia and IDr. Kim are the visionary co-founders behind Rare Kith Studio, a design practice built on a shared passion for purposeful interiors and meaningful collaboration.
IDr. Rhia C Flordeliza & IDr. Kimberly C Tan
Both began their professional journeys in the corporate world— Rhia in banking and Kim in management consulting—before answering their creative calling in interior design. They graduated from the Philippine School of Interior Design (PSID) with distinction as Agustin Cancio Awardees, and both ranked in the Top 10 of the 2015 National Interior Design Boards—4th and 6th out of thousands.
Their professional paths, though unique, are marked by a commitment to continuous growth. Rhia deepened her expertise through global design education, studying Lighting Design at Instituto Marangoni in Milan and Constructed Environments at Parsons – The New School in New York, with a perfect 4.0 GPA. Kim built her practical foundation in two of the country’s top interior design firms, gaining valuable real-world professional experience with high-profile clients and leading complex projects and teams before starting her own practice.
In 2018 & 2019, they each launched their independent design firms—Rhia with New Maven De Studio based in Makati, Kim with Kune Design Studio and Klima Design Studio based in Ortigas, Pasig—before eventually joining forces to establish Rare Kith Studio. The name reflects their rare bond, as well as their shared philosophy: that great design emerges from genuine connections—with people, with place, and with purpose.
With over 20 years of combined experience and more than 200 completed projects, they bring a wealth of knowledge, creativity, and leadership to the firm.
