Mirei Ong will be displaying her products at the DesignCircus XMas edition 2018 on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 November 2018 in Corso Venezia 6, Milan, Italy.

Mirei Ong is a designer who lives and works in Milan, but who began her career in her native country, the Philippines. Working in her country of origin exposed her to the world of traditional furniture production, where everything is done by hand. In addition, this environment made her aware of problems related to the use of limited resources and ancient design traditions. Feeling the need to learn more about the technical aspects of design, she chose to move to Italy to attend the university course in Design and Engineering at the Milan Polytechnic. As a designer and as a person, her ambition is to explore all areas of design in order to view the world from different perspectives.
