In this moodboard video, we show a playroom using a postmodernist’s playbook…which is what exactly, you may ask. Postmodern is a design style popular in the 70s and 80s that cleaves towards vibrant colors, asymmetry, and bold details. It can be strange and unconventional, although what we show in the…
Eating. A favorite Filipino pastime. Even if we don’t have much food, we still share. In fact, kain na po tayo can even function as saying hello sometimes. Eating is a social event for most of us. It’s a ritual that we treasure. We share, not only food, but lively conversations…
