Manila FAME 2025 is Now Open: Here’s What You Need to See
Good news for design lovers. The much-awaited Manila FAME 2025 has officially opened its doors. It is happening right now, from October 16 to 18, at the World Trade Center in Pasay City. If you are a fan of beautiful, locally-made items, this is the place to be.
This year’s theme is “Objects of Nature.” The whole event celebrates Filipino craftsmanship. Think designs inspired by the country’s landscapes, plants, and animals, all reinterpreted with a modern, artistic touch.
What Is the Vibe This Year?
This is the 73rd edition of the show, and it is organized by CITEM (the export arm of the DTI). They kicked things off with a nature-inspired centerpiece that really sets the tone. The show is built around a few key areas, and here is what you should look out for.
Design Commune: Nature Meets Modern Art
This is where you will see some of the most creative pieces. Curated by top product specialists, this section features furniture and decor that merge natural inspiration with modern function.
Some of the highlights include:
- Lamps inspired by Poppy flowers.
- Rugs that look like Anahaw leaves.
- Lighting fixtures that look like birds’ nests.
- Furniture that mimics the pattern of ocean waves.
Artisans Village: Celebrating Regional Crafts
This section is all about regional artistry. It shines a light on makers from provinces like Bohol, Ilocos Sur, Quirino, and Tarlac. You will find stone-based home pieces, designs made from fossilized flowers, and amazing woven accessories. It really shows how local communities can turn raw, sustainable materials into high-end design.
You will also find the Philippine Components showcase. This section features architectural craftsmanship, like laminated rattan claddings that mix natural textures with modern forms.
Why You Should Go
The show is only open until October 18. Manila FAME 2025 is a great look at where Filipino design is heading. It honors our heritage while still pushing forward with new ideas. It is a must-visit if you love interior design, support local makers, or just want to see some beautiful, creative work.
