Celebrating National Arts Month, Vibal Foundation launches the new Fifty Shades of Philippine Art book by lifestyle and design duo Chito Vijandre and Ricky Toledo on 19 February 2021
We have admired the window displays of the stores Firma and AC+632. It seems these tableaus have become a new art form—one that has piqued the attention of people walking past the streets in New York, London, Paris, and Tokyo. It is an art form that the creative duo Chito Vijandre and Ricky Toledo have mastered over the years in their stores. Thankfully, this pair has decided to share this experience—along with more delightful pieces—in the newly launched book The Fifty Shades of Philippine Art series: The Art of Window, Display, and Design.
Ricky and Chito share a passion for the visual and performing arts. This mutual love allows them to succeed as life and work partners. “It never seems like work when you are enjoying one another’s company and the things you do together,” Toledo shares.
They seem to complement each other’s style. “I am always astonished by how Chito’s mind works, how he always has another way of seeing things. Just when I thought a concept or window is done, he adds a new unexpected twist.”
