Industria won for Best Booth Display while the “Paper Wall Decor” by Far East Manufacturing Corporation won the Eco-Design Award, a special distinction conferred to a product developed with respect for a healthier and more sustainable environment.

The Katha Awards is considered as the most prestigious award in the Philippine design scene and is a significant platform where product design innovation and excellence is recognized. Its goal is to give distinction to ingenious designs and encourage exporters to raise their design standards for Philippine export products as well as to pursue a skillful exploration of earth-friendly materials and processes.

“The Katha Awards is an emblem and a statement of the highest standards of design and quality that seeks to inspire and challenge exporters and designers to constantly create and develop original designs for furniture, houseware and furnishings, holiday décor and gifts, and fashion complements,” said Rosvi C. Gaetos, Executive Director of the Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (CITEM), the export promotions arm of the Philippine Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), and organizer of Manila FAME.

The winners were announced by Patricia Fernandez, host, model, and beauty queen and were handed by Executive Director Gaetos, DTI Undersecretary for Trade and Investments Promotions Group Ponciano C. Manalo Jr. and DTI Undersecretary for Management Services Group Nora Terado.

The selection and evaluation of all the Katha Awardees is a collaborative effort of the Manila FAME Secretariat and the National Council of Industrial Designers of the Philippines (NCIDP). The winners were chosen by an esteemed board of judges from the fields of architecture, design, fashion, and the visual arts and communications fields led by NCIDP’s Rino Datuin, including Amina Aranaz, Isabelle Berenguer – Asuncion, Jean Dee, Gwyn Guanzon, Nikki Laurel, Loejai Lopez, Rachelle Medina, Eric Pineda, and Mitch Shivers.
