The relationship between a mother and her daughter is one of the powerful bonds in the world—it impacts the way the latter brings up her own children. Spending time together is vital in strengthening such bond.

Doctor to the stars Vicki Belo is a big believer of the importance of spending time with her kids and doing things together daily. Fortunately for her, she can do it with her youngest, Scarlet Snow. 

She had Quark at 23 when she was too young to be a mom, and two years later she gave birth to Cristalle while she was busy in med school.  

“With Scarlet, I’m already settled, my career is okay. I have more time,” shared Dr. Belo.

Over the years, Dr. Belo’s parenting style has evolved, with the help of constant prayer that she will be a good mother who can balance discipline with a lot of love. 

During a shoot for B & B Italia’s iconic Serie Up Armchair (fondly known as Mama Chair), which marks its 50 years, Dr. Belo shared the fulfilling journey of motherhood and how she’s going through it with her rising star daughter. 

“Scarlet is a combination of an adult and a child. Her thinking process is so advanced; she picks up on things quickly and is very observant. In fact, upon seeing the iconic Mama Chair at the B&B Italia BGC showroom, Scarlet immediately exclaimed that her Tita Virgie (Ramos of Swatch) has the same chair,” she related. 

For Dr. Belo and her husband, Hayden, character formation is more important than anything else. “This is why we’re sending her to a Christian school, even if logic would dictate to send her to an international school. If she comes out the most intelligent person, a summa cum laude and her character is not kind, loving, and God-fearing, it would be again not worth it,” she shared.

Like a mother’s hug

As she plans to spend more quality time with her daughter, Dr. Vicki Belo shared she plans on putting the Mama Chair in Scarlet’s playroom. 

She said fell in love with the Mama Chair because it reminds her of her mother-daughter bond with Scarlet. “I also like its shape which is so round, I feel that it wraps around me, making me feel secure. It has no edges,” she explained. 

Dr. Belo added, “I love the way that the ball is attached to the chair because the ball cannot go far away so the baby would always be attached to the mom. They can roll around but not too far away.”

Created by avant-garde Italian architect Gaetano Pesce, the Mama Chair was the designer’s abstract depiction of a mother and child and a critique of women’s oppression when it was first introduced in Italy in 1969. Fifty years later, it has become a work of art and a symbol of women empowerment.

Pondering on the chair’s history, Dr. Belo said she believes that all women are empowered differently. “The trick is, you find what it is that you’re really good at. Always search why God put you here. Find something that will contribute to people’s lives and that will enrich and empower you as a woman in the process.”
