AD : HOW IS BONITO DESIGNS DEALING WITH THE RISING COMPETITION TODAY IN THE DESIGN FIELD ?
GABRIEL : Competition is constantly growing . But at Bonito , we look for inspiration from around the globe and try to learn and imbibe the best from everyone , locally and globally . We try to set high benchmarks to improve ourselves instead of focusing our energies on the competition . Our core philosophy revolves around design .
True to our tagline says , we Live Breathe Design . Our passion about design is what sets us apart from the rest . These days , everyone says they can do customizable or personalized designs . Our core differentiation is the extent to which we customize designs . We spend a lot of time understanding our customers - their passion , hobbies , interests , lifestyle etc to bring out spaces that truly reflect their personalities .
AD : CAN YOU DESCRIBE ONE PROJECT THAT TESTED THE DESIGN TEAM AT BONITO DESIGNS AND WHERE YOU WERE ABLE TO EXPLORE DESIGN POSSIBILITIES LIKE NO OTHER ?
GABRIEL : I remember this one project we had done for a couple who were well traveled and want the world to reflect in their home . The client ’ s stylish , smart , and modern characteristics were represented with classy , spacious and exclusive design elements in a Moroccan ocean theme setting .
Statement teal walls , hand-painted panels and patternedd tiles were the heroes of this project , aptly named Daphne .
This project was dreamlike : enriched in shades of blue , handcarved panels and beaded shutters - many items a very first for our design team .
