A’KIN-ATIN, a furniture design exhibition, explores how Filipino creativity can transform public spaces into environments that inspire connection, interaction and cultural pride.
It will be available on view until Friday, Nov. 29, 2024, at the Activity Center of Ayala Mall Manila Bay along Macapagal Boulevard, Parañaque City.
The showcase presents over 30 innovative and sustainable pieces that blend form and function seamlessly to celebrate Filipino heritage and contemporary design.

The collection, a combination of chairs and side tables, embodies the tradition of communal unity. Each piece attracts kinship and highlights multifunctionality and inclusivity to address modern needs.
Conceptualized and developed by the Interior Design students of the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB), the works champion environmental consciousness and turn the spotlight on natural and locally sourced materials. The apprentices were mentored by IDr. Randy Pabona, IDr. Khammile Manansala, IDr. Regina Cello-Caboborac and IDr. Jasmine Cruz.

The young artists are set to render their talent to transform the living spaces of the Philippine Navy into an adaptable, nurturing and comfortable environment that fosters unity and resilience.
A’kin-atin presents the top entries from McDonald’s ReClassified Student Design Competition, where enterprising talents from the Interior and Industrial Design Programs transformed discarded store furniture into multipurpose chairs, modular furnishings, and school laboratory needs. These are all to be donated to public schools. For updates, visit facebook.com/akinatin.exhibit.
