Since 1983, Manila FAME has been expanding the possibilities of Filipino design.
At this year’s edition, running from October 15-17 at the World Trade Center Metro Manila in Pasay City, witness how the country’s lush flora and fauna, natural landscapes, rich waters, and vibrant wildlife inspire the creation of excellent Philippine design.
Showcasing over 400 brands and manufacturers, Manila FAME opens the door for sourcing the latest in Filipino furniture, home, accessories, and lifestyle, with customizable solutions tailored to your project’s specific needs.
Organized by the Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (CITEM), this year’s Manila FAME is populated with special settings and programs laid out across the show floor:
DESIGN COMMUNE
The 2026 edition marks a deliberate departure from the formulas and predictable processes of past showcases. Instead of structured trade booths, the Design Commune transforms into an immersive gallery and art installation space.
In an era increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, this edition champions an unapologetically human touch that breaks conventional design barriers to craft objects infused with raw emotion, passion, soul, and personal narrative that no machine can replicate.
Featured designers include Uzel Alconera, Jim Zarate Torres, Jaime Brias, Deya Tsyna, and Reineshih.
HOME AT FAME
Blending modern, minimalist, and organic design, the collection showcases how Filipino craftsmanship can take root in nature and flourish into globally relevant interiors. Home at FAME is where local materials like metal, wood, and natural textiles; inventive design; and human craftsmanship come into full bloom.
Under the direction of creative director and curator Milo Naval, Home at FAME brings together ten Philippine manufacturers from Pampanga, Manila, and Cebu in a cohesive presentation of furniture, home décor, and lighting.
Participating companies include A. Garcia, Calfurn, Coast Pacific, Destonos (South East Metro Arts), Jed Yabut, Maze Furniture, OMO Furniture, Catalina Embroideries, Schema, and South East Metro Arts.
