Each year, Lifestyle Asia releases a coffee table book to capture what “living at its finest” truly means. For 2018, we have released “Millennials. Travel. Entertaining,” a book inspired by a “curated Instagram feed.” We have collected photographs from outstanding travel stories, the most exemplary parties in town, and millennials who are making a difference in the world through the lives they chose to live.
The first chapter of the book focuses on millennial artists and designers who are using their craft to contribute to the Philippines as a whole. These exemplary individuals don’t only have an eye for beauty and design, but are also using their talents responsibly by supporting local craftsmen or using their brand to promote the country in a global scale.
Scroll down to see a sneak peek of our book, featuring six excellent millennials chosen amongst hundreds that populate our pages. To read more and to see the complete list, you can purchase the “Lifestyle Asia’s Millennials. Travel. Entertaining” coffee table book by sending us a private message on Instagram (@lifestyle_asia) or on our Facebook page. The book is also available in leading bookstands.
