International buyers, industry insiders, and design enthusiasts can look forward to an exciting edition of Manila FAME, the Philippines’ premier home, fashion, and lifestyle trade show, as it sets to open its doors once again at the World Trade Center Metro Manila in Pasay City on October 17-19, 2024. Carrying the theme “ReimagiNATION,” Manila FAME 2024 leverages the Filipino artisans’ penchant for constant evolution—whether in terms of material, process, style, or presentation—to remain relevant, practical, and attuned to global tastes. The show will feature newly developed products, creative settings, and delightful displays.
Close to 400 original designs, a collaboration between select Manila FAME exhibitors and renowned product development specialists, will be exclusively launched across different pavilions at the three-day sourcing show. Going beyond reality for home and lighting pieces Design Commune, the culmination of the product development program for Manila FAME, will be presented in two pavilions for this edition. The home and lighting sector will be curated by Rita Nazareno and Gabby Lichauco.
Together with 25 local companies, they will develop a total of 150 new prototypes. Nazareno said that they are very excited to be back with CITEM and Manila FAME in the Design Commune Home section. “There will be playful, imaginative, and inventive pieces so we hope that the people can come and enjoy the craftsmanship and design of the different manufacturers .
