You have to feel good about it.\"\u003cbr/\u003e34. Tilt down from leaf-like structure of a stool to its seat\u003cbr/\u003eThe Filipino design alliance 'Movement 8' are celebrating their tenth anniversary with a retrospective exhibition in Manila.\u003cbr/\u003eThe group of designers have become internationally renown for their use of traditional craftsmanship and commitment to home grown materials such as bamboo and wicker. \u003cbr/\u003eWhen eight Filipino designers got together in 1999 the furniture produced from the Philippines was relatively unknown on the international circuit.\u003cbr/\u003eThe group called themselves Movement 8 and started to represent  the Philippines in trade fairs and international expos. \u003cbr/\u003e\"There were eight members in the beginning and we went everywhere from New York to Paris to Shanghai, showing the best of what the Philippines has to offer. Those were wonderful times, because the whole world woke up to the fact that there was a real Filipino design scene. Because the Philippines was always known as a producer for foreign brands without its own original design, and Movement 8 changed everyone's perception,\" says Kenneth Cobonpue, one of the movement's members.\u003cbr/\u003eWhat followed was an influx of buyers from around the world and not just from the run-of-the-mill furniture shops. \u003cbr/\u003eDesigner Budji Layug's work for example is carried by Bloomingdale's and Cobonpue counts Brad Pitt as one of his customers.\u003cbr/\u003e\"The moment people knew that there was really original design, that was very modern and global, people started to come in to the Philippines,\" says Cobonpue.\u003cbr/\u003eOn their tenth anniversary, they are back home in the Philippines for a retrospective exhibition.\u003cbr/\u003eThe designs reflect the philosophy that has pushed this group's members to the A-list of designers in the world.\u003cbr/\u003eAn effort to use local materials sourced in their native country seems to run in the collective consciousness of the group. \u003cbr/\u003eRattan for example is still abundant in the countryside and is still widely used in everyday furniture such as tables and chairs by common people.\u003cbr/\u003eBut what the Movement 8's designers have done is raise the design level to an art form.\u003cbr/\u003eTake for example Kenneth Cobonpue's transformation of doodles into what he now calls the Noodle collection. \u003cbr/\u003eHis obsession with making the lowly rattan into a fashionable item, means he has worked to transform it into colourful and vibrant designs.\u003cbr/\u003e\"In a way they are actually very common materials, because the rattan has been around with us for a long, long time, but what I wanted to do was to make rattan chic again and I think the rattan has fallen into disrepute because there were so many cheap imports coming from China and from Indonesia, and people used to think it is discarded furniture you throw away after a couple of years. But I want to make it fashionable,\" he explains.\u003cbr/\u003eDesigner Budji Layug favourite material is bamboo.  \"In the beginning, when I first designed, I fell in love with the material, the bamboo, the characteristic of it being very flexible, it has its characters with its nodes and everything, and I try to bring (out) the simplicity of the material in the design,\" he says. \u003cbr/\u003eOther members of the group used an abundance of materials like wicker, textile and even wire mesh.\u003cbr/\u003eDesigners Tes Pasola and Luisa Robinson, however, share a common passion for paper.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Every time I make my design it is always using that material because I love using it,\" says Pasola.\u003cbr/\u003eRobinson points out that the seahorse-looking paper lamps hanging from the ceiling are actually what she calls \"dragon tails.\"  \u003cbr/\u003eShe says she gets her inspirations from everyday life.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I also have a son who I play with a lot. So a lot of my inspirations actually come from his toys. Like I said, the Lego.\"\u003cbr/\u003eIt is the conscious effort to find ordinary materials around them and find inspiration to turn these into a whole new design level, some would even consider art, that sets this group apart.\u003cbr/\u003eDespite the worldwide acclaim, Cobonpue, assesses his work with humility.\u003cbr/\u003e\"A real good design has to function well, has to be comfortable. I do not believe in making art for art's sake. I am a designer and it should really serve its function, which is to let people sit on it comfortably in the case of a chair, or if it is a bed then people have to be comfortable lying down. You have to feel good about it,\" he says.\u003cbr/\u003eAlthough one of the original eight founders passed away (died), the group that simply started as eight maintains the label of Movement 8.\u003cbr/\u003eFor them, the number eight also represents infinity, which is what the future holds for them.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex
