Company Background

Ann Tiukinhuy Pamintuan is a multi-awarded furniture, home accessories and jewelry designer.

With a design sensibility deeply rooted in respect for materials, confident shapes and clean lines, and highly influenced by an Asian modernist aesthetic, Ann Pamintuan belongs to a new wave of Filipino designers gaining worldwide recognition from Manila to New York, Milan, Frankfurt, Paris, Tokyo, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan.

Pamintuan’s serious work as an artist began with her experiments with roots, leaves and flowers. She shaped these botanicals and gave them permanence by casting them in gold, silver and copper. Without prior training or apprenticeship, she made her early works through trial & error, building & tearing down, learning and relearning. The fusion of organic material and metal brought about her jewelry line. From jewelry, she ventured into vases and bowls, and naturally progressed to furniture and sculptures, for which she began to receive both local and international recognition.
