MANILA, Philippines - Acknowledging the substantial aesthetic contribution of local interior designers, this year’s WORLDBEX includes a display of works by the country’s most respected authorities in the industry. Leo Almeria, Natalia Benitez, Suzette Cocuaco, Lot Hilvano, Hubilla Design Group, Celynn Imperial IDO-IDS, Chat Fores -Lozano , Michael Pizarro, and Tessa Prieto-Valdes will be those featured in WORLDBEX’s landmark 15th year.
Renowned for their flexibility and inimitable style, these designers have always invested considerable time and effort into every project, making the final result a masterpiece that clients will enjoy and make good use of for many years.
