The idea of synergy, where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, has been widely embraced by scientists and engineers worldwide. This idea suggests that the "interaction of two or more agents or forces, and their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects."  Defined simply, synergy is the process of combining different elements to produce a unique result.

Don’t be surprised that Brangelina are rocking little Shiloh to sleep in a bed designed by a Filipino and manufactured in Cebu.


TIME’s Global Adviser, in the magazine’s July 24 issue, featured Cebu-based designer Kenneth Cobonpue’s award-winning pieces, including the Voyager bed, which Brad Pitt recently purchased. Pitt also picked up his Pigalle and Croissant chairs.

                    [Summary] => History books reveal that furniture craft came to the Philippines through the Galleon Trade in the 16th century.  Owing to a culture with diverse influences, the existence of native artisans with deft hands and a flair for design, and a rich countryside with a wealth and variety of materials, furniture making has evolved into a form of art that is as opulent as the flourishing industry it is today.  These, plus the Filipinos’ entrepreneurial spirit, are the main reasons for the industry’s growth.
