Rustan’s, the country’s premier destination for luxury goods and quality products, has long been a supporter of the arts through its partnership with notable personalities from the local and international art scenes.

 

Last year, a limited-edition home merchandise collection was launched in collaboration with legendary Philippine National Artist Benedicto “BenCab” Cabrera. Rustan’s celebrated the painter’s 50 years in visual art by showcasing his works in a well-loved artisan home collection.

 

This November, Rustan’s continues to promulgate its passion for the arts and commemorate the significant contributions of the National Artist  with the launch of a new collection under Our Very Own.

Embedded artworks of BenCab’s “Blue Sabel” (2005), “Images of the Past” (1999), “Madonna” (2014), “Pillow Vendor” (2012) and “Kutohan” (2014) have been added to the retail giant’s new collection of home decor and accents.

From the sophisticated-looking porcelain plates to unconventional mugs, extraordinary cushion covers, attractive fans, decorative trays  and pretty  utility boxes, the collection features classic visual interpretations of  Filipino culture in the olden times through design elements of mother and child, monumental figures, traditional masks and different portrayals of women at work.
