Designery x PUP

On April 3, 2018 the 44 students of the BS Interior Design 2018 Batch had launched their meaningful showcase of interior designs that advocated their home country’s cultural heritage and tourism.

The showcase entitled PUP Idestinasyon: An Itinerary of Philippine Tourist Spots through Hospitality Interiors, had 14 booths that were inspired by the 14 regions of the country; with each region to highlight the best of the country. We had the honor of working with some of the bright minds behind this year’s PUP Interior Design Exhibit. Check out some of the booths below:
