Cebu has been known as one of the beautiful city of the Philippines. It is also one of the most progressive city, the land of talented and crafty people, and also splendid beaches and vacation spots.
I remember my first visit in Cebu years back, and am telling you it was an amazing experience. I’ve tried to mingle and managed to blend in the local scene, and appreciate their very accommodating gestures.
And one of the best part of visiting Cebu – I’ve learned that when you tried to learn their local language, your experience will be more pleasant, and the people tends to be more kind.
Cebu is also home of many famous designers both in fashion and interior designs.
And it was a great pleasure that the enterprises from Cebu have joined the recent 66th Manila FAME show here in Manila, to showcase the Cebuanos artistic and creative designs.
Having a huge 340sqm booth that they called Chambers, The Cebu Project which composed of 35 companies showcased their one of a kind designs, featuring new furniture designs, furnishings, fashion accessories, and food. The entire booth, which conceived from a hotel settings, also stressed the fact that Cebu is a resort destination.
Check the photos below during my visit at their humongous booth!
Ohh I couldn’t help but have than fan-girling feeling when I saw their booth! They managed to transform it into a boutique style hotel, which turns to be so gorgeous.
That hanging fibers are so beautiful and a perfect divider for home, your office or even your bedroom. Since it is lightweight and see-through, it could same space, and the air can easily pass through.
I love it!
This bed looks very luxurious! I always like that kind of bed, which I could also add some curtains around especially when it feels the weather a bit colder.
And one of the best part if this huge driftwood bar, made from a 70-year old dead tree!
I am so happy that I got a privileged to attend this season’s Manila FAME, and witnessed many designs from all over the Philippines.
I can’t wait for the next season, this coming April 2018. So please mark your calendar now!
Xoxo, Blair

DeleteOh, I so much loved this driftwood bar, I specially love wooden looks and this was aesthetically pleasing for me. Great to know Cebu as a home to designers.
ReplyDeleteYeah. This is a dead driftwood that was damaged due to strong typhoon. The artist decided to make a new life and now it is one of the famous driftwood bar in the exhibition.
DeleteSomeone already bought it before the show ended. They just displayed it until the end of the show.
It sounds like a fun trade show. Each show case looks unique and creative.

ReplyDeleteHello Racheal,
DeleteVisit Cebu soon and you will discover many workshops + all affordable pieces!
It looks beautiful and it looks like you had such an amazing time there. I can definitely see why trying to learn the language helps. Not only do you understand some but they appreciate you are trying to communicate with them and will be happy. I have found that true with most people where we don't speak the same language. If we put out the effort to learn about them and communicate with them, no matter how poorly we do it, they appreciate the effort.
ReplyDeleteCommunicating with locals even you are stammering to utter their local language is still the best way to communicate with them. Not all locals knows how to speak the Filipino language, so I tried my best to reached them out by learning the language. It breaks barriers and they became more welcoming to guests.
DeletePlus, there is no grammar-Nazis! Hahaha
Wow! gorgeous and stunning designs! and materials looks native - this is such a great way of show casing talents and amazing product.
ReplyDeleteI agree, and each event is a huge success. many small businesses and new creatives gained new contacts and buyers, and they are always happy.
DeleteI love interior designing and Chambers look like heaven for someone with the same interest. Aren't they creative to transform a space into a boutique hotel??
ReplyDeleteThese creatives became the suppliers of many boutique hotels and homes, around the Philippines and even across Asia. They have clients from Europe and even USA.
DeleteIt seems that you really had a great time there in Chamber Cebu Project. Those designs looks really unique and beautiful. Awesomeness!
ReplyDeleteThank you babe!
DeleteOmg these beds. Am I the only one so into the decor?! Love it! Yesssss girl!
ReplyDeleteI can feel the ZEN in there!
DeleteWhat a beautiful hotel! Honestly, I have never heard of this. WE will be going to Cebu in July and we will check this out. :D
ReplyDeleteHello Sigrid,
DeleteThanks dear, but this is not a hotel. :D
I can't keep my eyes off that pineapple tote bag ;-) . It is cute.
ReplyDeleteHahaha me too! But I regret not buying it last time. I'm praying that hopefully they join this month's exhibition.
DeleteBeautiful and Wonderful piece all in here. Such an amazing shoecase to have a close encounter with nature. I love this.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear!
DeleteI have been to Cebu before yet. Will check it out for my next visit
ReplyDeleteWow that's cool! Which part of Cebu is your favorite place?
DeleteLove the stylish visuals. And you're so right about learning the local language, I think that applies just about everywhere. It shows that you are respectful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle! Learning the language is a must, even if we have an odd accent or wrong grammar, it doesn't matter. Communication is the key.
