modern mixed-media
Organic materials treated with modern technology give rise to eclectic modern furnishing. Abaca-hemp is plaited and molded to wood, or wrapped around wrought iron; wicker-rattan takes on a sinuous grace clinging to metal. Bamboo is turned, smoothed, melded with aluminum.
rattan and cane
There are some 600 species of rattan palms native to the rainforests of Southeast Asia, but only a handful of varieties remain for modern furnishings - younger, shorter, and thinner rattan vines. Filipino designers have produced wondrous furnishings off the dwindling vine. The fascination starts with rattan's prime characteristic - its flexibility. Also, its many sizes and varieties: from the yantoc, a field rattan, to the pithy, dense arurog, to the new rattan sica, the young smooth and white rattan grown in Palawan.
contemporary furniture
Given wide exposures to the modern furniture of Europe and North America, Filipino designers have absorbed and recreated modernist designs for their private spaces. They are making pieces which blend comfort with style and aesthetics with luxury, in designs that are local and original. They combine wood and bamboo, steel and leather, to produce distinctive furniture.
rustic-eclectic collections
Traditional Philippine furniture, evolved in the late 19th centure from models that originated in rural homesteads; or were adapted from ornate church furniture, or were learned from Chinese craftsmen. |
