These are the hands that create and shape something natural into something elegant and striking, giving it a universal appeal. From the rich craft heritage we learned from the Spanish in the 16th century, to eclectic influences, variety of locally available materials, and local artisans with excellent design flair and deft hands, Filipino design is one of the best in the world. Designers and engineers with university degrees continue to introduce new technologies and innovations but the furniture and handicraft industries still depend largely on the handing down of skills from one generation to the next.
