via GRAPHIC PLUS — The Philippine International Furniture Show (PIFS) and Interior Design Manila (IDM) come together once again to celebrate the strength and creativity of Filipino design, presenting a dynamic showcase that highlights both heritage craftsmanship and modern innovation.
This year’s exhibition brings together established exporters and emerging local designers, reinforcing the Philippines’ growing reputation as the “Milan of Asia.” Known for its creative use of natural materials such as rattan, bamboo, and abaca, Filipino design continues to evolve beyond traditional “native” aesthetics into sophisticated, globally competitive pieces admired by international markets.
Sustainability also takes center stage in the exhibition. Many participating designers and manufacturers are introducing furniture and décor crafted from upcycled materials and ethically sourced local fibers, reflecting the industry’s commitment to environmentally responsible design.
Beyond the visual appeal, the event also functions as a vital business platform. By bringing together international buyers, hospitality leaders, and real estate developers, the show creates meaningful opportunities for Filipino manufacturers to expand their presence in the global market.
Through curated galleries, design talks, and networking sessions, the collaboration between PIFS and IDM aims to inspire industry professionals while strengthening the global appreciation for Filipino craftsmanship.
Started in 1927, the Philippines Graphic is the longest-running printed magazine of national circulation that provides relevant news and features and promotes Philippine literature.
