Nippon Paint (Coatings) Philippines joined the recently concluded Philippine World Building and Construction Exposition
(Worldbex) held at the World Trade Center, Metro Manila.
Themed “Worldbex 2016: Uniting Strong Foundations,” the
event put a spotlight on interior design luminaries who mounted
gallery vignettes that showcased their design philosophies, and reflected the prolific development of the country’s construction and
design industry.
Nippon Paint (Coatings) Philippines collaborated with notable
interior designers such as Johnny Hubilla, Michael Pizzaro and
Rogelio Caringal, who used the innovative Nippon Paint Momento Special Effect Paint to bring more life to their respective
gallery designs.

Textured Paint Series, a premium line of opaque paint featuring
Elegant, Sparkle Pearl, Sparkle Silver and Sparkle Gold special effects; as well as the Enhancer Series, a semi-transparent glaze-over
featuring Frost and Cloud special effects.
Nippon Paint also partnered with the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), Chennai (China) to create design patterns
using Momento special effect paint.
The Elegant range will help to create a stylish impression with
luxurious matt textures and rich colors. Innovative and enchanting, Elegant is formed with gelatine pigments and rich colors to
evoke the essence of Italian renaissance. Its thick formation spreads
across any surface to create an exquisite texture. With odorless
and water-based features, it transforms any interior environment
into a rustic masterpiece.
The Enhancer range will provide a glazed-look over the walls
to create serene winter masterpieces of frost texture bathed in snow,
pearl or gold luster. The entire range focuses on providing homes
with a soothing and spacey appearance.
The Dzine range will bring an out-of-the-box, unorthodox approach to painting walls. This variant is easy-to-use and enable’s
homeowners to be able to design their own homes.
