Home away from home for OFWs at Naia

Boxy chairs inspired by the balikbayan box. --CONTRIBUTED

Designed by Carlo Calma Consultancy Inc., the OFW Lounge at Naia 3 is a tribute to the millions of Filipino workers who toil abroad. Inspired by the iconic balikbayan box, the lounge’s exterior features a distinctive box pattern and glowing accents, creating a welcoming ambiance.

Inside, the lounge offers a comfortable space for OFWs to relax, socialize and await their flights. A central buffet counter, finished with a bianco Carrara marble top, serves up snacks and refreshments. The furniture, with its twisting frames, is reminiscent of opening boxes and adds a playful touch to the warm interior.

The lounge’s most striking feature is its soaring ceiling, adorned with a dramatic pattern of swooping abaca leaves. This unique design creates coziness, enveloping travelers in a welcoming embrace.
