“Work hard, play harder.” The appeal of every work-life balance dreamer is to have both professional growth and personal enjoyment, and if you’re a gamer at heart, you don’t want to miss out on the golden age of gaming today. Everyone deserves a good, comfortable throne behind their desk; that’s why I’m happy to share with all of you that TTRacing, the esteemed gaming chair company from Malaysia, has officially opened its base in the Philippines – the TTRacing Homegrounds.
On February 15, TTRacing Philippines held its Homegrounds Grand Opening and introduced its first-of-its-kind immersive showroom experience. The venue, with its glass aesthetic and high ceiling, boasted an interactive and engaging display of elegant, handsome, and trendy gaming chairs. There were multiple designs inspired by Star Wars, Disney, Marvel, and ONE PIECE franchises. All of them had different sizes and shapes, but all were exceptionally comfortable. It was just impossible not to geek out.
Although the second floor was still a work in progress, the country head shared their big plans for the future – to create a welcoming and community-driven space designed not just for shopping but for relaxation, interaction, and comfort. In short, it will be your special “third place” outside of home and work.
Anime Corner had the honor of being a part of this momentous event. It was a privilege as well to share this celebration with some very special pop culture and gaming personalities, influencers, and companies in the Philippines. And so, it is with utmost pleasure that I get to share my experience with you.
The Story Behind the Name
There’s an interesting story to the name “TTRacing.” The “TT” comes from the legacy of the founders, the Ting brothers, who were passionate about innovation and comfort. Meanwhile, “Racing” is a nod to the origins of gaming chairs and how they were inspired by the sleek, ergonomic design of racing seats. Their mission and vision is to ensure that every gamer, creator, and corporate professional experiences the empowering perfect balance of comfort, durability, and competitive edge.
“The best way to understand TTRacing is to experience it. We have always been about more than just chairs and desks—it’s about elevating the way people work, play, and create. The TTRacing Homegrounds is our commitment to that vision, a space where innovation and grounded experience come together.”
– Henry Ting, CEO, TTRacing
Since 2017, TTRacing has become a trusted brand across Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia, the Maldives, and now, the Philippines, with their newly launched TTRacing Homegrounds.
The TTRacing Homegrounds Showroom Experience
TTRacing Homegrounds, designed by KD Studio and ZYA Builders, is not just a showroom. It’s a space for dreamers to connect, create, and thrive. During my chat with David, the Country Director, and Arnel, the General Manager, they mentioned how they plan to make that dream a reality:
- Use-and-Experience Concept – Guests can practically use and experience the ergonomic benefits of our chairs within the confines of our showroom for hours before making a purchase.
- Blending Work & Play – Our showroom is designed to cater to both gaming and professional workspaces, showing versatility across different setups.
- Pet-Friendly Space – We welcome visitors to bring their furry companions, making it a relaxing and inclusive experience for everyone.
- Free Coffee & Refreshments – Guests can enjoy complimentary coffee (pods from YARDSTICK) and drinks, encouraging them to stay, unwind, and truly experience TTRacing Homegrounds as a community hub.
- Community Hub & Third Place – Having the intentions to conduct multiple routine events spanning from music, gaming, and productivity genres, the Homegrounds is more than just a retail space. It serves as a hub for esports enthusiasts, content creators, professionals, and casual visitors to gather, work, or simply relax.
“We genuinely care about every customer we serve. Each individual has their own story, their own purpose, and their own reason for pursuing what they do. Our reach spans across diverse markets—from gamers and creators to designers, virtual assistants, and corporate professionals. But beyond their professions, they all share a common denominator: they have a dream. And for us, it is a privilege to be part of their journey in achieving that dream.”
– Arnel Guiron, General Manager, TTRacing Philippines
Needless to say, the dream that TTRacing Homegrounds announced is seemingly already underway. The elegant grand opening was brimming with cheer and excitement (the food was great), not to mention the cool DJ performing live.
My favorite part about this showroom is how it welcomes and inspires curious wonder. You see, unlike the plastic-wrapped chairs (with the “thank you for not sitting” signs) at the malls, these chairs are here for you to fully experience and interact.
Of course, the anime fan in me saw nothing else (and looked forward to nothing else) but the ONE PIECE chair collections. I fangirled so hard! In the TTRACING Maxx Gaming Chair Luffy Edition Review that I made last year, I mentioned how the texture, craftsmanship, comfortability, and design swept me off the floor, and I instantly became a TTRacing fan.
So, when I heard that TTRacing Homegrounds was opening in the Philippines, I was very excited! I was so giddy and happy to see their collection in person (and much more hyped for the upcoming JJK collaboration). I rambled on and on to my brother about the amazing Air Threads Fabric, the leather, back and neck support, arm rests, wheelbase, and how all the character designs were so impressive. Maybe I looked like a silly gremlin while hopping from one seat to another, but I genuinely was having a once-in-a-lifetime cool experience!

Redefining Ergonomics for the Better
I always believed that small things make big differences, so even though it’s “just a chair,” it should be something we all put more thought into. Comfort is proportional to productivity, after all. I can see how TTRacing highlights and values that, and that’s why their innovative craftmanship becomes a love letter to everyone who deserves a level up. The TTRacing chairs are more than just any ordinary furniture; they are THE chairs that comfortably support and hold you while you pursue your work, hobbies, and lifestyle.
All in all, it’s nice to see such original, high-quality chairs, wide selections, friendly prices, a pleasant community, and the enthusiastic staff that makes it all possible. Although the place was not yet in its polished form, I was not at all disappointed. It’s the opposite. You see, there’s a certain charm in things unfinished; it reflects opportunity and a story waiting to be told. It’s akin to a blank canvas, waiting for the chance to bring life, purpose, warmth, and identity.
“There is a deep purpose behind the way we built the TTRacing Homegrounds. It’s not just a showroom—it’s a space where dreamers can come together. We’re not here just to sell; our products speak for themselves. What truly matters to us are the individuals who use them—their aspirations, their growth, and their passion.By fostering an environment where people can connect, create, and thrive, we aim to be more than just a brand. We want to be a part of their journey, their success, and their story.”
– David Ang Reyes, Country Director, TTRacing Philippines
To be able to witness the TTRacing Homegrounds in its humble beginnings is a profound experience more than words could ever express. That said, its finished setup is something I truly look forward to. Without a doubt, with the way the TTRacing PH and Filipinos carry their overflowing enthusiasm into the future, the showroom is bound to become a memorable and thriving place.
Congratulations, and thank you again to everyone at TTRacing Philippines!
