It was during that time that she was able to create the Float Table Lamp.

In addition to this, the opportunities kept coming her way, and rode with her flowing creativity. In 2014, she was one of the six selected artists to showcase at the “Asia’s Rising Talents” debut show of the prestigious interior design exhibition Maison et Objet Asia.

At the A Design Experience exhibit at the Galerie Joseph in Marais, Paris, France, Lilianna Manahan is the only Filipino designer hailing from the Philippines.
