Design Commune presents a curated showcase featuring home and fashion pieces from CITEM’s product development program.

In collaboration with award-winning design authorities, local brands and manufacturers undergo a series of meetings, an exchange of design ideas, consultation of drawings and prototypes, and actual manufacturing. These products are then showcased in a curated set up at the Design Commune special setting.

Beyond Reality

PLAYFUL, IMAGINATIVE, AND INVENTIVE

This year, their pieces in collaboration with 25 Philippine manufacturers and brands are inspired by instruments, ubiquitous materials, and life forms, such as extinct animals and plants, reinterpreted as functional homeware.
