Explore a thriving community of Filipino artisans and their creative works at Manila FAME, the second-largest trade show for home, furnishing, and lifestyle. Happening at the World Trade Center until Oct. 21, the event aims to bring together micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), and local designers under one roof.
Officially opening its doors to the public on Oct. 19, the trade show boasts exhibition halls highlighting a wide range of product offerings. These zones are dedicated to showcasing material manipulation, innovation, creative collaboration, and eco-sustainable production in the world of design and craftsmanship.
The Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions, or CITEM, also prepared a special spot where visitors can have a "multisensory experience" in celebration of the event's return after its two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Included in these are the Design Commune, featuring exclusive collections from CITEM, endless innovative coconut-based products at the Coconut Pavilion, the rich craftsmanship of artists from different parts of the country at Artisans Village, Network Hubs for a one-stop place to build your connections in the industry, and more special events.
The Manila FAME trade show is open from 9 AM until 6 PM and runs until Oct. 21 at the World Trade Center. Priced at P500, you can register and get passes through their website.
