Cebu is furniture haven so don't miss...

2 Customwood (P.C. Suico St., Tingub, Mandaue City, + 6332/ 236 8603, 236 8746, wavi@pldtdsl.net). Torralba swears that Customwood is “by far, is the best custom-furniture manufacturer I've come across in the country: world-class, ISO certified; their factory is computerized. If you have a dream furniture piece in mind, just give them your ideas, your specs; and they will make it come to life. A tad costlier than your usual custom supplier but they are worth every penny. They specialize in veneering and other wood and iron techniques.” Their other world-famous company is Wicker & Vine, Inc.
3 Vito Selma (www.vitoselma.com). “This is the next name to watch in furniture design, with his mixing of wood and "sleek and swanky" design concepts. He's young, hip and bursting with promise,” Torralba gushes. You can check out his pieces at Ito Kish in LRI Plaza on Nicanor Garcia St., Makati.

Vito, thanks for dropping by. I think much of the credit goes to Kate who shared her insider info with our writer, Andrea and my art director, Jocas. Kudos and keep up the good work bai.
Pinoymom, thanks, my pleasure to have met you yesterday.
I admire unique and quality furniture.
Cebu furniture is really well-made and the designs are really something else. Yun nga lang, kinda pricey but what the hey, they make us proud.
