THE ART OF THE CRAFTSMAN The craftsman’s hands work materials to make it their own. Men and women working with fiber, shells, wood, dyes, bending their backs over looms, chipping away with their hands to reveal the design etched in their mind. This handiwork creates a connection that moves people. Visual and tactile impressions that pique curiosity, leading to a desire to connect. Even own. This spirit of craftsmanship is brought into the creation of Filipino products for the global market. Philippine design traditions, techniques and materials are being hewn to create new expressions and products that are made the Philippine way -- the craftsman’s way. With soul.
Vito Selma brand is quite adamant on its focus on the natural. It is this love for nature that has driven the brand to constantly look for design components that satisfy its inclinations, while relying on wood as a primary medium.
