The Philippines is home to a new generation of craftsmen, be they furniture makers, artists, sculptors or weavers. Their specialty is taking the indigenous materials of the country - pina, abaca, capiz shell, bamboo, rattan to name just a few- to produce contemporary items that are as at home in a New York loft as a tropical verandah. Harnessing both Asian - and - Latin inspired style and modern techniques. The result is a cornucoppia of fine contemporary furniture and "Authentic" furnishing items.
