SAMBAYA is a purpose-driven venture based in Davao del Norte that bridges sustainable living with Filipino craftsmanship. We offer handcrafted home décor products—such as pendant lamps, placemats, and coasters—made from locally sourced abaca and other native materials such as bamboo, romblon and rattan. Our brand exists to solve two critical problems: the lack of access to eco-conscious and ethically made décor in the Philippine market, and the economic marginalization of local and indigenous artisans. SAMBAYA empowers rural communities by creating sustainable livelihood opportunities while offering urban homeowners, designers, and businesses stylish, meaningful, and eco-friendly alternatives.

The name “SAMBAYA” is rooted in Filipino language and culture. The word loosely relates to the Visayan term “sambaya” meaning to gather, to craft, or to unite, which perfectly captures the essence of our mission—to bring people together through culture, community, and handcrafted artistry. It reflects our core values of collaboration, heritage preservation, and sustainable living. Choosing a native name also honors the indigenous artisans we work with and positions the brand as proudly Filipino.
