His talent has a solid following and he had been entrusted with multi-million peso design projects by a diverse clientele. His trademark is the classic and elegant look that is simply chic and warm at the same time.Rather than relying on complex structures, he believes that a timeless piece can go a long way. The result is a clean sophisticate look at is definitely Jigs Ranada Adefuin.

I was able to ask some questions to Mr. Jigs and here how it goes:

Q: What's the role of interion designer?
A: Basically, interior designers is here to guide the clients on what will looks best on their house.

Q: Is designing your childhood dream?
A: When I'm still young, I'd always love to design our own house and I love to draw my designs on paper. Looking back I will always says: Hey! this one looks like the one I draw when I'm still young.

A: Simple but elegant and classic.

Q: Where do you get inspiration when you design?
A: First, I asked what the client want and then I worked from there.

Q: What if your client want a something in her home, but you think it will not fit, how will you tell to them?
A: At first, I will insist that it's not bagay but if they still want it then I have no choice. Sometimes, I will take a picture of the house without the thing that they insist, just to show the client that I'm right :)

Q: What's PIID?
A: It's Philippine Institute of Interior Designer. Which has been around since August of 1992.

Jigs hope that he will be able to share his passion and knowledge of interior design and believes that a home should always be a reflection of who you are as a person: your style, your taste, and the kind of lifestyle that you lead. Besides, your home should feel like your own.
