Prizmic & Brill: Heritage and Artistry Shine at Manila FAME 2024
Prizmic & Brill recently showcased their luxury furniture and décor at Manila FAME 2024, expertly exemplifying the event’s theme of “Reimagination.” This year’s fair spotlighted Filipino creativity, heritage, and sustainability, providing an ideal stage for Prizmic & Brill to highlight their unique fusion of historical design and modern elegance. Their collection, inspired by traditional campaign furniture, reflected Prizmic & Brill’s quality and artistry, which aligns with Manila FAME’s mission of elevating Filipino design to a global audience.
Timeless Craftsmanship Meets Modern Style
Prizmic & Brill’s participation was met with high praise, earning two KATHA Awards for their exceptional work in both decor and presentation. Their Nutcracker Ornaments won for Best Holiday Décor & Gifts, reflecting the brand’s signature merging of local artistry with contemporary flair. Each masterfully handcrafted showcases the intricate skill of Filipino artisans.
Additionally, they received the award for Best Booth Display. Prizmic & Brill welcomed fair-goers into a truly immersive experience. Their intricately crafted, vintage-inspired pieces filled a large tent which invoked a sense of rustic, yet classic refinement. The arrangement inside centered around a sofa with “Vive L’Amour” pillows and surrounded by leather and woven chairs. Carefully placed lighting casting dramatic shadows invited viewers to experience Prizmic & Brill’s vision of sophisticated, functional design that feels both nostalgic and relevant.
Championing Local Artisans
Since 1986, Prizmic & Brill, also known as P&B Valises et Compagnie Inc., has transformed campaign furniture into luxury pieces for high-end homes, resorts, and clubs worldwide. The company’s 7,000-square-meter facility in Pampanga functions as both a production hub and a center for Filipino craftsmanship, where artisans meticulously craft each design. Prizmic & Brill celebrates these skilled artisans, stating, “Our greatest asset lies not only in our craft but in our craftspeople,” underscoring their commitment to quality and cultural heritage.
Through their participation at Manila FAME, Prizmic & Brill continues to promote Filipino artistry on a global stage. Their award-winning collections blend tradition and innovation, setting new standards for luxury in home décor and showcasing the depth of Filipino design.
