From March 14 to 29, LRI welcomes everyone with an enthusiasm
towards interior design with an exhibit on condo living dubbed
“Escaping Summer.” Designer Pinky Cruz-Peralta, also
proprietress of the restaurant cum atelier “The Room Upstairs,”
in collaboration with artistic entrepreneurs interprets a condo
environment with a touch of the outdoors.
Pinky, who has designed apartments in Paris, is
helped ably by the enthusiastic team of fellow LRI design shop
owners and artists Pynky Magsino of PKNY Collection, Beth Payte of
Elizabeth Payte, Gezette Mendoza of Simply Asian, and Louie Mendez
of Komodo Teak Furniture. The designer is very modest about her
Parisian design tryst with quiet sophistication reflected in the
colors and appointments of the room interior environments.
Strolling through each design module—a
kitchen, a living cum dining room, a bedroom—and one gets
sure-fire ideas on how to transform spaces into snappy and glamorous
areas. Peralta and her fellow designers are sure to evoke the
feelings that suit one’s artistic bent and flair for life.
Meanwhile, LRI Design Plaza has kicked off its
fourth Anniversary celebration with an Andrea Domingo art exhibit
“The Last Frontier: Emotions Evoked” at Galerie Astra is on its
last day today, March 9. The exhibit includes an interpretation of
the cliffs of Palawan in amazing candy colors with an entirely new
perspective on the subject. Also, Galerie Andrea owned by artist
Domingo located at the second floor of LRI is the exclusive
distributor in the Philippines of Daler-Rowney of England for fine
art and graphic materials trusted by artists worldwide.
LRI Design Plaza is at 210 Nicanor Garcia Street
(formerly Reposo), Bel Air II, Makati City, with over 35 stores
showcasing interesting finds to buy—highly functional, decorative
and quality furniture, and home accessories. Leaders in furniture
designs converged in this building and transformed it into a
world-class exhibit. Visiting the showrooms and galleries, one will
find new enthusiasm on how to reinvent one’s home with
irresistible and exquisite pieces of furniture and furnishings,
paintings and collectibles. The LRI Plaza’s small frontage is
deceiving. But it is a mile-long deep with so many nice stores
inside. Shoppers are in for a host of wonderful surprises.
“Summerscapes,” the theme of LRI’s fourth
anniversary, heralds a whole month of activities, and make March
truly memorable for local and foreign tourists, interior designers
and design students, art aficionados, collectors, and shopaholics.
Come visit.
