The Philippine Institute of Interior Designers (PIID) has taken a bold step forward at this year’s WORLDBEX, The Philippine World Building and Construction Exposition. The ONE PIID exhibit, designed to transform perceptions and illuminate the rich, yet often underappreciated world of interior design, marks a significant milestone: the celebration of sixty years of interior design excellence.
A New Era of Experiential Design
Idr. Cyndi Beltran, the National Vice President of PIID, underscores the shift from traditional visual exhibits to immersive experiences. “Our booth is designed to be experiential, blending the tactile with the visual to convey the essence of Philippine interior design,” she explains. This innovative approach transcends mere aesthetics, offering a deep dive into the intricate process and scientific principles that underpin effective interior design.
Raising Awareness and Building Connections
Idr. Beltran stresses PIID’s mission, “We strive to enlighten the public about the importance of engaging licensed interior designers and to connect the community with our members.” The booth at WORLDBEX symbolizes a portal for those seeking professional interior design services, from local homes to international ventures.
A Call to Action for Future Designers
With a storied history and a progressive outlook, PIID not only champions the recognition of interior designers but also fosters the emergence of new talent on the global stage. The PIID exhibit stands as a beacon of the organization’s dedication to education, professionalism, and innovation in the field of interior design.
