Prizmic and Brill's signature style of combining hardwood, hand forged brass and selected leather hides achieve a standard of detail and meticulous craftsmanship that has all but disappeared in a world of increasing manufacture of ubiquitous pieces.
The uniqueness of Prizmic and Brill products lie in their ability to work with equal virtuosity in a variety of visually interactive and durable (not to mention sustainable) materials such as recycled aluminium, brass, rattan, glass and textiles.
Since 1986, Prizmic and Brill has created a reputation for re-interpreting and improvising on classic designs, continuously keeping them fresh and alluring.
Of the hundreds of thousands of companies worldwide, many are newborn and many are in their last phase of life. It is as if they have a human existence. No doubt though, all companies want to leave their mark in the book of fortune. A man that knows what he wants stands with conviction by his company like he stands by his woman. The dream we had to fulfill was to become the furniture company that matured into the beauty of a woman that lives and breathes self-confidence. To become the she that births every new product with the excitement and wonderment that a new life brings. Yes...to be a factory of distinction. This life is the creation of a vision seen by two day dreamers...the founders of PRIZMIC & BRILL VALISES AND COMPANIES. The young Matthew Sven Brill, a New York born designer and philanthropist, hugged his best friend,Vinko Mario Prizmic 23 years ago and announced emphatically, "We are going to make our dreams come true. I will probably, no- forget “probably”- I WILL make the most amazing furniture and you WILLwrite the most amazing books...and, we ARE doing that now." One only has to see and touch the furniture and products designed and manufactured by M.S. Brill to feel the soul of PRIZMIC & BRILL VALISES AND COMPANIES. And so we make our mark…
It’s hard to imagine storing the day’s catch in this exquisitely crafted Arurog wicker trunk, though its name may have more to do with its resemblance to fishing trunks of old than with its actual use. The leather-topped basket would be better off holding heirloom lace than the old day halibut.
