In the year 2000, the outdoor woven furniture trend started in Cebu. Riding on abaca's resurgent popularity with increasingly eco-conscious consumers, Cebu introduced stylish, contemporary outdoor woven furniture that encouraged people to experience the outdoors (more often than not) in a sitting or lounging position.
Why Cebu of all places? With our tropical weather, laid-back lifestyle and traditionally woven furniture, we are experts at taking in the views sitting down. This is the life! Clear blue skies reflected in the color of the sea, sitting in the shade, a warm breeze blowing, the sound of surf gently crashing on the sand, an ice cold drink in your hand.

Every piece of outdoor woven furniture that is made in Cebu and shipped the world over is created with this idyll in mind.
But that shouldn't surprise you. Here in Cebu, our traditional hand-weaving techniques, the best Asia has to offer, have been passed on from generation to generation. This know-how is combined with breakthroughs in materials that allow furniture pieces to withstand the harshest conditions that nature can unleash, including fabrics that won't easily fade, fray or foster unwanted microscopic creatures. Add to this mix a design sense that makes room for flights of fancy or contemporary whimsy - forget your grandmother's patio furniture - and we're talking award-winning pieces by Dedon, Kenneth Cobonpue and Lauralee.
This dedication to design, craftsmanship, and innovation is captured in every curve and corner of each furniture piece that is made in Cebu - not just the outdoor woven furniture pieces, mind you. These are pieces people want to be in and be seen in, whether relaxing at home or savoring every moment at a high-end holiday destination.
