I have captured a lot of things in my lens during my visit in Cebu City last March though it was a gloomy afternoon when I arrived yet it is nice to be back in Cebu again. What I have seen mostly is the completion of skyscrapers and some are having their finishing touches. I would say that there are no economic crises in Cebu considering the influx of skyscrapers around the city and its neighboring cities. It’s been sprouting here and there from the last 6 years or so and there’s no stopping yet. I will be featuring some of them in my next post.
The structure above is one of the newly completed edifice that houses mostly dining and resto establishments. And at one point while we were dining at one of the restaurants there, I saw a piece of decor inside the restaurant that instantly became an eye sore to me. What you can see below is one of the interior furnishings which I think has structural flaw. Perhaps the one who plan it don’t have the concept of aesthetics (sorry for my use of word and being blatant) or probably was in hurry to make things done.
The concept and the design of the furnishing are good and even elegant at some angle but only if the electrical cord is hidden and not hanging in front of it. It just destroys its image.
Interesting designs you’ve captured there! Maybe the owners and designers of these will be able to read this and be able to make some improvements!

whenever i design (i studied product design) a lamp, the second thing i think about is the placement of the wires. it could really really ruin a piece if the wires are really exposed (unless “tastefully” done). in this case, it’s an interior detail gone bad. tsktsk.

I’ve been to cebu last year, and yes, they look like the new Manila. The city is really clean
I think the decoration is misplaced and the wire should be hidden.

the cord hanging in front of it doesn’t look nice at all haha
Imagine all the walls that looks like that!

Haha.. That’s definitely a structural flaw!
Even the most stylish pieces can get ugly with a very visible electrical cord hanging in front of it.. XD

I consider that as the epic fail of interiors. You’d know (and most of the time it’s obvious) if a place is built in a RUSH.

That is something! I thought it was pointing to the message below!

Hear, hear! The electrical cord is not really good. I thought the structure is already almost perfect.

wow namiss q bigla ang Cebu. Mango Avenue is our tambayan for almost 3 years na jan aq naka assign sa Cebu:)
I believe that this is not included in the original design of the store and that they just added, that’s why it looks so odd and a truly an epic fail..
Thats a FAIL to me. They should have checked their cabling thoroughly.

I stayed in Cebu for almost 3yrs and I have seen a lot of these in several buildings there. Even in some known malls. Haha! Funny but it seems to be juust ignored by the locals there.

Yeah the lamp’s a bit of an eyesore. I hope they’ll fix it.

Fascinating! If the owner of the resto read this one he might collapsed! Joke!

I do agree on that being an eye sore. The design is good but it went bad with the cable hanging in front of it. I wish whoever installed that will be able to read your post so that they can do something about it.

interior designing is really a science as well as an art.

I personally think that they did not plan in putting that lamp there. Some people who just rent a space don’t give too much planning on their interior design. So, even if the intention is to place that lamp to improve the aesthetic appearance of their space, it defeats the purpose.

The reason why designs are planned is to ensure that minor things do not destroy the overall results in a major way.
Teresa Martinez recently posted..Coping With Everyday Stresses In Life
the design is cute and i hope they would do something about that hanging cable
that is so….ugly. they should have used switches for their lamps. even the outlet should not be there. isn’t that against the building code?
I agree that it destroys the image and design, the wire should hidden since the design is modern lighting.

hahahaha..speechless.. tsk tsk.. i think this is an after thought.. nevertheless the should have fixed or if its a column they just have properly lined it at the back of the lighting fixture and plugged it internally inside the ceiling.. hahaha.. just great..

HAHAHAHAHA! What the? They should have used a different lamp/lighting.
I miss Cebu! It’s been ages since I last went there.

I agree it’s really a structural flaw… or maybe they were in a hurry to meet the deadline.

Sayang nga naman yung ganda ng view.
you’ve a good critical eye. you’ve noticed the flaw of a structure. Cebu is really a good commercial place to visit. She was once considered the queen city of the south.

tsk tsk… it could have been a last-minute decision to place that lamp. otherwise, this is just so wrong…
