"Old World" craftsmanship using exciting and eclectic mix of materials. P & B's signature style of combining hardwood, hand forged brass and selected leather hides achieve a standard of detail and meticulous craftsmanship that has all but disappeared in a world of increasing manufacture of ubiquitous pieces. The uniqueness of P & B products lie in their ability to work with equal virtuosity in a variety of visually interactive and durable (not to mention sustainable) materials such as recycled aluminum, brass, rattan, glass and textiles. Since 1986, P & B has created a reputation for re-interpreting and improvising on classic designs, continuously keeping them fresh and alluring.
All of P&B's product lines are handcrafted using traditional skills, methods and materials. These included handwoven natural fibers, recycled hardwood, hand forged steel end tooled brass, and embossed vegetable tanned hides. All hardware and fittings are exact reproductions of examples from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is the combination of functionality and history with art that sets the P&B product apart. Its appeal transcends time, ethnic and establishment barriers and reflects a sense of nostalgia and romance associated with a time and tradition that are now timeless icons of the present. P&B products are designed and marketed as exclusive products lines for leading international furnishing companies specializing in period designer product. They have had a significant impact on the industry and have captured a significant share of the high end home furnishings and commercial market.
P&B maintains a flagship retail store and showroom at Greenbelt 5, a luxury shopping mall in Makati City, Manila. The retail store and showroom operates as a display venue for P&B’s retail branding. And it promotes P&B’s otherwise outbound products within the domestic market. The exportation and distribution of P&B’s products is world-wide, with major wholesalers and retailers in the United States, Europe and Asia. As a result of this, P&B devotes a significant share of its production to fulfilling contract business with luxury hotels and resorts. At the same time, however, P&B does entertain custom orders, with a robust and flexible private label program open to all. But in spite of P&B’s global reach, P&B’s customer base remains limited and exclusive to long-term relationships.
