A living atelier: Cultivating craft, community and couture

The anticipated four-day trunk show, The Living Atelier, concluded its spectacular run with an overwhelming turnout of design aficionados, art patrons and tastemakers. The bustling event transformed high-end showrooms from B&B Italia and Ethan Allen into a vibrant, living gallery. Weaving fine fashion, bespoke jewelry, and contemporary art directly into world-class furniture setups, the immersive total-lifestyle experience created a thrilling dialogue between luxury international living and brilliant Filipino craftsmanship — all while raising significant proceeds for the Metropolitan Museum of Manila.

The palpable energy throughout the four days gathered to celebrate and shop an extraordinary collective of local talent. The star-studded lineup of participating brands and designers featured Alta Home, Arnel Papa, Atelier Carlene, Fine Bone, Flabelus, J.Lloren Editions, Jor-el Espina, Ken Samudio, Marana Tha, Matthew and Melka, Mele + Marie, Melecio, Paperbound, Sari Lazaro, S.C. Vizcarra, Sofia Yulo Fine Jewelry, SPRUCE, Studio IF and Zarah Juan.

With packed showrooms and a shared passion for homegrown innovation, The Living Atelier established itself as an unforgettable milestone of cultural pride, collaborative luxury and high-impact creative synergy.
