PSID presents - "Caleidoscope"


I have been working in Eastwood City for more than two years now.. One of the perks I enjoy (aside from a gargantuan food choice) is my close proximity to PSID. So when they transferred to Fort Bonifacio, words are not enough to describe how awwwww I felt.
So the minute I found out that the Advanced Class of 2010 will have an exhibit at Athena Building in Eastwood, I wholeheartedly sacrificed lunch just to have a peek on what the future movers and shakers of the Interior Design industry are up to.
This year's focus is the "Eighteen booths showcasing interiors featuring a myriad of Colors, to each its own Character and Cause, grounded by its Cost".
And my .. my.. these students really don't know how to disappoint. I can sleep soundly at night knowing that our country's future on Interior Design is safe. And kicking ass!
They showcased colors that I didn't know existed. Colors like Heliotrope, Midnight, Cerise, Cinnabar, Sangue de Beouf, Persimmon, and Cornflower. 
Now, where do I start? First let me tell you that I went to the exhibit 3 times.. Yes. I know. 
I took notes and I think its fair to share my thoughts on it which we are all entitled to. The students were very warm and welcoming (had a lil crush on someone from the chartreuse team har har!). They will hand you a paper at the reception and you will vote which ones are your favorite, the most unique, and well lighted etc etc. I voted for Sage, Cornflower, Cinnamon, and Tomato for their Design, Lighting, Use of Space (which is very important to me since I live in a condo), and how they utilized the Color assigned to them. Each of the design I mentioned was cohesive, believable, and its something that you would expect out of an Interior Designer. I also factored in the Cost incurred and was so impressed with how they handled their budget. 
The most unique for me goes to the egg-shaped dining room by the Indigo team. They had it custom made and painted with urethane (car paint). Its walk way is filled with volcanic soil. I'll try to post pics the moment I can. 
Well, overall the exhibit is a Major Success! I would like to congratulate the students for a job well done. I am very confident that your skills and talent will take you places!
