Filipino heritage, sustainability take center stage in furniture exhibit

A'kin-atin, a furniture design exhibition, explores how Filipino creativity can transform public spaces into environments that inspire connection, interaction and cultural pride.
Filipino heritage, sustainability take center stage in furniture exhibit

The showcase presents over 30 innovative and sustainable pieces which seamlessly blend form and function in celebration of Filipino heritage and contemporary design.

The collection, a combination of chairs and side tables, embodies the tradition of communal unity. Each piece attracts kinship and highlights multi-functionality and inclusivity to address modern needs.

Conceptualized and developed by the Interior Design students of the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB), the works champion environmental consciousness and turn the spotlight on natural and locally sourced materials.

The apprentices were mentored by interior designers Randy Pabona, Khammile Manansala, Regina Cello-Caboborac and Jasmine Cruz.

A'kin-atin likewise introduces Daong, the latest service-learning initiative of the program. This segment provides the viewers with an overview of the forthcoming renovation project.

The young artists are set to render their talent and skills to transform the living spaces of the Philippine Navy into an adaptable, nurturing and comfortable environment that fosters unity and resilience.

The event also presents the top entries from McDonald's ReClassified Student Design Competition, where enterprising talents from the Interior and Industrial Design Programs transformed discarded store furniture into multipurpose chairs, modular furnishings and school laboratory needs. These are all to be donated to public schools.
