Exhibit Progress. Week 3 ++

whew! i can't believe it's almost a month now since the start of construction. we started working in this venue that was originally a warehouse/ storage house and now the progress is unbelievable! anyway, back to our booth...

as i've mentioned before, the theme of our exhibit is Sustainability.

and we're assigned to create a Dining Room that is 60-80% made of Plastic!

i know right?

Plastic?

but here's the progress so far :)

 i'm really happy how the mural has turned out :) it's so refreshing, and the logs i think fits perfectly too. we're trying to create a space that doesn't literally look like "the plastic booth", we want people to stop and guess for a while what our booth theme is.

so we made our design, Earth Friendly - Nature Inspired, to contradict how plastics are perceived as something that kills the planet earth slowly... mmm

 

and having installed these ceiling design made of PVC is actually a breather... YEAH. its THAT crucial you.could.kill.yourself.anytime. :p

 

 

wait for it.... :)

Exhibit Progress. Week 2 ++

what i never hoped for, happened last week -  i got sick :( and i just hate the feeling of being stuck in bed... when you know you have to go out and move your ass, cos if you slack off a little - you'll get piled up with work! but thank God that's the past :) i'm on my better health now, and i have been pretty busy scouting for stuff for this week's styling/ photo shoot (reveal soon), canvassing for exhibit, and looking for future, potential suppliers. and as always, i ended up buying tons of fabric/stuff i don't know where to use yet! *erk*

anyway, construction for our exhibit should be done end of next week *gasp* i know... we're kind of behind! but yeah, i'm having my fingers crossed and still hoping for the best. I honestly, at this point of being too stressed out, wish and want to get this done and over with! expenses are too much! and i just can't wait to not stay in the construction site for hoursss anymore, i want to paaarrtty! lol.

 These giant build-up letters are as LITERAL as they can be.

 being artistic with recycled pvc's

 wait for it... :)

Exhibit Progress. Week 1 ++

While everyone in Manila is engrossed with their long-weekend vacation, we on the other hand, are working - manning construction that is, on a Holiday... don't you just love it? :) *sarcasm*

But it's such a breather to have actually seen progress, like right now, we're painting.

 

 and though i'm really excited about how this booth is gonna turn out, i'm still having mixed emotions since we decided to alter changes and edit our original design (financial & time limit problems :( we don't have that much sponsors, so we're shouldering the cost ourselves *sigh* but oh well, in 2-3 week's time, it'll ll be over. and i'm just way too excited to work and focus on my real-life design projects after this :)

wait for it.... :)

Exhibit Progress. Week 1

Each year, the Philippine School of Interior Design holds an exhibit to showcase the graduating batch's design/ work. And each year has a different theme. For our batch, it's 

Sustainability.

The Challenge.

You have to create a room/ booth where 50%-80% of the material you will use is made up of the one that was assigned to you.

Paper. Stone. Cement. Metal. Glass. Plastic. Rubber. Clay. Bamboo. Wood.

And the room will also be assigned in Random.

Living Room. Dining Room. Kitchen. Bedroom. Bathroom.

 And this box here, will be the Plastic Dining Room.

Excited much? Not really.

Only a few knows of the stress & pressure the students get during these period...

After our finals, we had our thesis.

After thesis, we need to have already presented our booth's design.

That was less than a week.

But i won't bore you with the details :)

In the meantime, just enjoy the pictures,

Table Setting

The Requirement.

1. Pick a client (made-up client is okay)

2. Choose  an Event and Location where the event will be held.

3. Arrange a Table Setting based on the client's profile, status, etc.

The Result.

"Our Love is like a Tree"  

Client: Newly-wed couples celebrating their 1st anniversary. 

The couples are high school sweethearts :)

Location: The couple have an old family home in Batangas, 

the setting was arranged under a tree, where the husband also proposed to his then girlfriend.

 Theme: Rustic Shabby chic. Casual yet formal.

 

 

 I was lucky enough to have my friend lend me her shabby chic plates and utensils. She graduated culinary, so she had some kind of a collection herself too :)

We added a white charger for contrast.
