Both gave short talks that offered an intimate view into their rich design heritage.</p><div><br/></div><p>Have a look at the show&#x27;s highlights in the gallery below:</p><div><br/></div><div class="article-content" itemProp="articleBody"><div class="media-content"><div class="slider-for"><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/c0399431-fb93-451b-9a8e-3cc9298ebe24_cwc east meets west_landscape.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/e3a82bd9-d37d-46d2-bab2-2303161e35d6_east meets west cwc eames calma 3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/4fb18907-50e5-4688-8f02-dc1addbdbe06_east meets west cwc eames calma 2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/4fbe4edb-f84c-406e-9ee3-6436505de95d_east meets west cwc eames calma 4.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/456018c6-52b8-4362-ba72-72a5ecf44350_east meets west cwc eames calma 5.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/5ddcb47f-9899-4948-b82c-a0aaa5746797_east meets west cwc eames calma 7.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/e2da5f92-4e98-47fd-b7cb-98b8173b2e00_east meets west cwc eames calma 6.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/d9875f89-6e7b-44d0-a7b6-596508089719_east meets west cwc eames calma 8.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/59c4c383-97ab-491c-8aae-b3fab2954809_east meets west cwc eames calma 9.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/93cd30f2-25fd-46bb-91c9-0b8298465df1_east meets west cwc eames calma 10.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/8220beec-3969-4c5e-b7e0-7bc9b151dae1_east meets west cwc eames calma 11.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/428e206e-810f-4f3f-bb34-d696d70fe7f3_east meets west cwc eames calma 12.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/7883f917-6a5f-4692-87fb-91e64ee84ff3_east meets west cwc eames calma 13.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/bfab0a87-2740-4ea2-856b-d82793715ea0_east meets west cwc eames calma 15.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/c821f7ff-9324-4848-a9ba-31c1596e88eb_east meets west cwc eames calma 14.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/2aefddbf-a03b-47e2-9780-9e071aef41b6_east meets west cwc eames calma 16.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/94d53581-a030-4aa1-8ab1-dee8f2df68b6_east meets west cwc eames calma 17.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/e2c50b8f-13e8-41a4-8909-e9565f8b2429_east meets west cwc eames calma 18.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div></div><div class="media-content slider-desc"><div class="item-desc"><div></div></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Inside CWC&#x27;s &#x27;East Meets West&#x27;
