Elon Musk's HYPERLOOP is a breakthrough for Science, Physics, and Design rolled into one. The machine will take a commuter from Los Angeles to New York in just 35 minutes. It boasts of a modern futuristic, fashionable and functional design making you travel faster with comfort than any transportation available in the whole world. Hyperloop fashion is rendered with impressive commuter benefits as designed by Elon Musk. Fashion is applied everywhere, be it consumer or industrial. Unbelievable but true, no one can ever appreciate something without its fashion attributes. Fashion Trend setters inspire us in trying out the latest products and services available in the market, the ones that will best suit one's need and satisfy the want all together.
Philippines on the other side of the globe, the South East Asia, is haven for renowned Artisans' innovation and ingenuity when it comes to Home and Apparel fashion. After some years of absence in the much acclaimed design trend setter event for Home Fashion, Maison et Objet, the Philippine exporters and designers finally united themselves to form a delegation and showed their designer home crafts made from raw materials endemic to the Philippines. Artistic and eccentric, traditionally ethnic yet modern inspired, with function and aesthetic combined - home fashion products from the Philippines were sensationally striking and was the talk of the industry in the recently concluded Maison et Object in Paris, France. Held in Paris Nordic Villepinte last 6-10 September 2013, organized by the Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (CITEM), an attached agency of the Philippine Department of Trade and Industry in collaboration with the Foreign Trade Service Corps France and the Philippine Embassy.
The relaunch in Maison et Objet featured twelve upcoming Philippine young designers and export manufacturers, under the Design.ph brand, paraded their most acclaimed home collections: Betis Crafts' Gustavian chair; Celso Advincula Jr and Kenneth Cobonpue's Nature inspired lamps; Industria's Jude Tiotuico and Eric Paras' Living Room Bee Web accent pieces; Ito Kish' Gregoria Lounge Chair and Basilica Side Table; Luisa Robinson's decorative vases made of shell; Wataru Sakuma's wall paper art made of salago and paper mulberry fiber; CSM Philippines' Mayumi Fine Bone China dinnerware collection; Rene Alcala's Domicillo wall metal votive holders; Kalikasan Krafts' Schema Octa trays, jars, and lamps; Tadeco's T'nalak pillows and Mangrove bowls and trays; Triboa Bay's wood chairs and lamps; and Vito Selma's Geo furniture pieces. Working with Interior Designers, Industrial Designers, Architects, and Engineers during my past jobs in private corporations gave me an eye for reviewing home and hospitality products based on aesthetic and performance. Product Features and advantages likewise play major roles in selecting raw materials to come up with a finished good for selling. I have witnessed actual production of home products in other Asian countries and I could say that the Philippine designers and manufacturers have more passion for unique designs with western Influence on product specifications. With this sensibility, Philippine design evolved in hybrid types of home pieces without sacrificing the performance. Our Artisans would always come up with amazing product innovations, even with minimal source of raw materials available at hand. Each piece of their collection tells a story of whom, how, and why they were made.
All twelve exporters delicately handcrafted their masterpieces and collections with expertise that awed most buyers, guests, industry influencers, and media who visited the Philippine pavilion in Maison et Objet. These products will be remounted in the upcoming 58th edition of Manila FAME in SMX Convention Center, Philippines on 17-20 October 2013. Manila FAME is the only design and lifestyle event all over Asia. Organized as well by CITEM, DTI. More information about Design.ph on www.manilafame.com.
