The Committee through the years
Back in 2004, these same values drove Jorge Consunji to start a competition that has become and industry staple – his brainchild, the Estilo De Vida Interior Design Competition.
Aside from supporting young interior designers, Estilo De Vida has also committed itself to promote the use of sustainable materials and the adaptation of 5Rs in the designs all while encouraging the use of locally-sourced materials.
“We take great pride in offering a competition that superbly presents the exceptional potential of young Filipinos in the field of interior design. Through this show, we hope to let everyone have a better grasp of the top-notch Filipino taste and see how our young interior designers do magic through color, texture and form”
“I encourage our young Interior Design students to become a part of this event. It will definitely open an opportunity for them to meet the biggest names in construction, architecture, and design world. The event, in the same manner, is visited by people from different walks of life who intend to build a home or a building on the future, giving them a chance to meet future clients. Together, let us contribute to make a better Philippines.”
“As one of the earlier chairwoman of the Estilo De Vida competition, I am amazed at how it evolved into what it is today. Estilo captured the essence of designing and has imparted to its participants the mode and difficulties of construction. In a way it is also a way of preparing them for the realities of construction and the discipline to adhere to schedules.”
“It is not every day that our young interior designers get the chance to showcase their talents in a venue as huge as the SMX. That is why we are proud to spearhead a competition that does not only promote their world-class brilliance in the field but also caters to their need to be recognized.”
“Estilo De Vida continues to be the avenue for the interior design students to showcase their talents, not only on stylish and aesthetic designs, but on functionality and cost reasonableness when their designs are transformed to real construction. Congratulations to the organizers of the Estilo De Vida. I am sure you’ll succeed in this endeavor.”
“The beauty of the Philippines shines from within – an admirable trait that one can never find anywhere else in the world. At the core of our beauty, are the talented and promising amateurs in interior design showcasing their globally- competitive skills. Therefore, everyone who joined in this year’s contest is a winner, no talent is wasted and through the efforts of PCA and PIID. I’m confident that our beauty will continue to shine through.”
“For a decade now, Estilo De Vida has never failed to recognize the best of our young interior designers and give them incentives to hone their talent. The construction industry is booming and we want the interior design industry to keep pace by elevating its value in the area of property development. This competition is truly one of a kind.”
“Estilo De Vida creates a refreshing vibe being a highlight at PHILCONSTRUCT. This competition has been a gathering of inspired young designers who took the challenge and stood up despite the pressure of having to complete their set up for four days. Estilo has truly become a platform for aspiring Interior Designers where they can discover how to stretch themselves with the challenges. Estilo will continue to support young enthusiasts to step up as a global talent that can change the world of design.”
“It’s an honor being one of the Past Chairs of Estilo De VIda. It was 2014 when I witnessed students moving up beyond their capacities to meet deadlines, and coordinating with their contractors. Not everyone is up to the challenge of mixing up another task with all the school requirements, but seeing Estilo De Vida accepting overwhelming number of entries every year is proof that our future Interior Designers are always ready to step up.”
“We continue to hold this event to support the young and talented student designers and hone them in becoming promising Interior Design professionals of their generation. Estilo De Vida is not just a competition; it is not just about the cash prize and pride. It is an avenue that molds the young and talented designers who will soon be the next leaders on this industry.”
“In celebration of Estilo De Vida’s 16th year, we enjoin PCA in celebrating the young Filipino talent in the interior design world. Through this competition, several interior design students around the country have been able to challenge their abilities and push their boundaries as they get exposed to realistic scenarios where they are driven to spread out their artistic faculties in creating designs for specific projects. I am confident that a bright future is awaiting our young designers.”
“We have had the honor of witnessing many young interior designers grow from bright-eyed amateurs to legitimate creative forces in the professional world, and that is the beauty of the Estilo de Vida, it shows us that even at a young age, they are capable of creating world-class masterpieces. Estilo De Vida will always be here to open up opportunities for our young designers and prepare them in their chosen career paths in a professional setting.”
