BUYERS were not the only ones who came out lightheaded from a recent cocktail party that organizers of the Cebu International Furniture and Furnishings Exhibition (CEBUNEXT) threw for show participants. Several designers and furniture manufacturers also left the party in high spirits after winning the Mugna Awards.
Mugna Awards are given to exemplary designs for exhibitors at CEBUNEXT, which has been known for 20 years as Cebu X. Awards are given to the best designs for traditional, transitional, contemporary and outdoor furniture pieces; home accessory; design by a student under the Student Internship Program (SIP); booth; material innovation; eco-friendly product; and Mugna heritage. The best promotional tool is also given a Mugna award.
This year’s Mugna winners are: the “occasional chair” by Winsor White for Mehitabel Furniture Co. for traditional furniture; “transitional accent chair” by Casa Cebuana Incorporada for transitional furniture; Vito Selma’s “GEO” for Stonesets International, contemporary furniture; Oliver Romano’s “Oliver Rock” for Woven Furniture Designs Inc., outdoor furniture; the “chambered nautilus” by Arden Siarot of Arden Classic in the home accessory category; and Joseph Mari Laxina’s “Cantary” chair for Coast Pacific Manufacturing, the winner in the student category.
Other Mugna winners are: for booth design, Detalia Aurora by Luisa Robinson; for material innovation; Selma’s “Wrinkle” for Stonesets International; for eco-friendly product, “Dune Wall,” by Pete Delantar for Nature’s Legacy Eximport; for Mugna heritage, “Ripples,” by Debbie Palao for Design Ventures Cebu.
The promotional tools used by Design Ventures Cebu, conceptualized by Karla Batiquin, won a Mugna as well.
For this year, the Mugna panel of judges is composed of Elizabeth Reyes, author of Tropical Interiors, as chairperson with Rino Datuin of the Industrial Design College of the De La Salle University-St. Benilde and Prof. Katsuyoku Matsuura, architect and interior planner, as members.
The Mugna Awards is organized by the Cebu Furniture Industries Foundation, also the organizer of CEBUNEXT, in cooperation with the Department of Trade and Industry-Cebu Provincial Office.
