From abaca (Manila hemp), raffia, bamboo, rattan, coconut husk, mother of pearl, fine bone china, artisan communities of the Philippines transform their local materials with expert hands that carry generations of memories, guided by the spirit of today.

The result is an extraordinary collection of objects with colorful stories from distant tropical shores... creating a rich tapestry of passion and hope.
