Collections of nature-inspired and handcrafted designs for the home, fashion and lifestyle sector were on display at Manila FAME 2025, which opened its doors on 16 October at the World Trade Centre Metro Manila in the Philippines.
The trade show is organised by the Centre for International Trade Expositions and Missions (CITEM), the export promotion arm of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
With Objects of Nature as the overarching theme, the exhibits at Manila FAME 2025 highlight the participating exporters’ nature-inspired designs made from locally sourced raw materials and produced using generations-old handcrafting techniques. The direction is in keeping with the rise of biophilic designs, signalling a growing consumer preference for natural, artisanal and less industrial-looking products.
