Future-proofing Filipino society through design.
The Design Center of the Philippines mounted an event the other day at the Henry Hotel garden area, and it was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with Design Center Director Rhea Matute. The Design Center has been busy all throughout the pandemic, and the event was a way to highlight this and reacquaint ourselves to what the Design Center stands for, and why they’re such an integral part of shaping and strengthening our MSME’s as they future-proof themselves by design.
It’s unfortunate that in our country, when we speak of design, most will immediately think of fashion designers or interior designers, and thus, pigeonhole “design” as something elitist, or attached to an exorbitant price tag. As Director Matute was adamant in pointing out, the word ‘design’ can be far-reaching, practical, inclusive, sustainable, and compassionate, as well.
Over 774 MSME’s have been “touched” by the Design Center, as these MSME’s aspire to create sustainable Filipino products and solutions for export. Pinyapel and Bakong are just two such enterprises, great stories of how design plays an all-important role in the development of products that future-proof, and could be the answer for where the revival of our export markets will come from. It’s worthwhile to visit the Design Center website to learn more about these initiatives.
As for the Design Center, it strives to serve its purpose in these troubled times by concentrating on the five pillars of Skills Building, Enterprise Building, Innovation Building, Community Building, and promoting a Design Culture that’s tied in with the building of a nation.
