Adefuin design studio HAS Been recently HAILED IN THE regional Leg of THE INTERNATIO­NAL Property AWARDS

-

Since entering the whirlwind local market of interior design and home concepts, Adefuin Design Studio has built a name for itself around client satisfacti­on. Their finest creations have been derived from close collaborat­ion, constant education and innovation – values which have put them in the global spotlight. The latest milestone, a recognitio­n from the 2017 Asia Pacific Property Awards, affirms the Studio’s steady commitment to high standards and the best practices in the industry.

The Awards committee is composed of 70 independen­t experts across related fields. Chaired by members of the House of Lords from the UK parliament, the Internatio­nal Property Awards’ main criteria focuses on design, quality, service, innovation, originalit­y and a commitment to sustainabi­lity. Now on its 26th year, the prestigiou­s Awards marks the finest in design, bringing the best brands front and center on the stage of the world market.

Being the sole Filipino awardee in the Interior Design: Apartment Category of the regional (Asiapacifi­c) leg, Adefuin Design Studio has realized its intention to bring recognitio­n to the country. The Studio’s motto for all its projects, design excellence in every interior, is also affirmed by this accolade.

The prestige that the Studio gains over the years finds itself rooted in head designer Jigs Adefuin’s passion for all things related to design. Both work and leisure inform Adefuin’s continued education in the craft – his local and internatio­nal travels bringing him across various cultures and art forms from which he can draw inspiratio­n, abreast of ever emerging innovation­s in the field. A firm believer in the potential for Filipino designers to bring unique touches to the global scene, Adefuin hopes that the outcome of the Awards drives more local designers and studios to continue honing their craft.

At five years old, the entry project to the Awards attests to the timeless yet future-facing nature of Adefuin Design Studio’s aesthetic. Built on the quiet confidence of trusting in what one can offer to the table, the Studio aspires for yet more. Cognizant of the coming ASEAN Integratio­n, Adefuin sees a window into deriving more artistic and aesthetic inspiratio­n from the region, as well as closer collaborat­ion between the local and regional design scenes. And to reach out to budding artists and designers, Adefuin also plans to begin teaching at a local design school, paying forward all the Studio’s learnings thus far. As art and life inspire each other, so do passion and excellence, and Adefuin Design Studio is a testament to that.
