Its unwise to pay too much, but it is worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little moneythats all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lotit cant be done. John Ruskin

The quotation sums up what Jigs Ranada Adefuin is all about. For him, its all about investing hard earned money and valuable time to achieve the extraordinary. And yes, there are no shortcuts. His fifteen years in the business is a tale of hard work and a commitment to strive for excellence.

Ranking 10th in the Philippine Interior Design Board Examination was a fitting start to his career. Instead of letting this get to his head, Jigs knew that for excellence to be reaped, he needed to further his skills. For almost five years, he underwent an extensive training at the Nardy Aquino Interior Design Studio, one of the countrys leading design firms. It was through this experience that he developed his skills in creating and presenting floor plans, perspectives and other working drawings. Up to this day, Jigss clients are able to receive hand-drawn renderings of his designs, providing a more intimate and sincere service.

When it was time for him to venture out into his own practice, he capitalized on his design principle of creating timeless and sophisticated design. Equipped with almost six years of training under Ethan Allen, he developed a knack for the classic, elegant look that is chic and warm at the same time.

A continued search for excellence later led him to find another niche to fill in in the design arena. Like zeitgeist that dawned on him, he specialized in space planning and ergonomic designs. His keen eye for details and proportions helped him create intelligent tailored designs. This has soon captured loyal clients, entrusting him with multi-million peso design projects.

It didnt take long before the industry finally recognized Jigss exceptional skills. In 2011, he was recognized as one of the PSID 10 Iconoclasts. This elevated him to an iconic status that further defined him as the designer that demonstrates design excellence.

Today, Jigss career is ever-soaring and expanding. His new office at LRI Design Plaza marks another milestone to his career as he opens the AdOr Interiors featuring unique and innovative accessories for the market. Being very good at maximizing space, Jigs has been known for transforming high end condominiums, townhouses and loft spaces into a roomy and functional space. With his versatility, he also designs commercial spaces from concept to installation. Jigs hopes to share his passion and knowledge of interior design. For him, it is a world that can never have enough room for continuous learning experience. He still upholds the value of striving for excellence despite already making it big in the industry. His projects have already been featured in Urbanzone, MyHome, CondoLiving, Cocoon and Philippine Star, among several other media outfits.

Philosophy

Design Excellence in Every Interior

Creating interiors is creating lifestyles. With this awareness, he approaches his designs with care and caution; creativity and skill; excellence and perfection. Design that endures the test of time Jigs believes that for a design to be able to transcend time, it requires the use of tried and tested design elements. For him, to be a good designer does not necessarily mean that you invent your own. You have the benefit of history to tell you what works and what doesnt. Consequently, you choose what best suit your clients needs and preferences. Function is of top priority, aesthetics follow. The simple formula equates to a design that is both distinctive and well-designed. Clients deserve no less than well-crafted bespoke designs to match their distinct characters He defies the one-size-fits-all-attitude by tailoring each piece according to the end-user. Hes notorious for ergonomic designs both in interiors and in the furniture pieces he designs.For instance, he studies the users average body size and posture, and then applies them accordingly to the measurement of the chairs armrests and backrests.

Spaces are home to meaningful memories and are also fuel for them to happen. This is encapsulated with what he would like to call the well-travelled look. His choice of accessories is inspired by the dwellers travels or aspirationssomething that would illicit conversations among guests and evoke happy memories. Again it goes back to interior design as a lifestyleregardless of whether it reiterates an existing one or it establishes a new one.
