  • Discover Filipino craftsmanship at KaPAMANA: The 2024 ArteFino Fair at Rockwell Center Makati

    ArteFino once again returns to Rockwell Center this year with the theme KaPAMANA, as a testament to the Filipino people’s enduring spirit and rich legacy. The theme will not only highlight homegrown brands through bespoke creations but also revitalize local traditions by incorporating modern perspectives into their community. Running from August 22 to 25, the renowned fair will be held at The Fifth at Rockwell.

    Guests can also catch a glimpse of this modern touch to ArteFino’s offerings when they drop by their preview pop-up at the Rockwell Sales Lounge at Power Plant Mall, starting August 9.

    Rockwell and ArteFino have had a long-standing relationship ever since the fair was introduced in 2017 at Penthouse of 8 Rockwell. This served as the first venue of what has become a highly-anticipated event in the Filipino design scene, shining a light on modern Filipino craftsmanship. Since then, the event has been staged in different venues around Rockwell Center. Their shared passion for curated experiences allows guests to immerse in the intricacies of local culture, and its potential to evolve through unique designs in fashion and lifestyle pieces.  

    In 2018, ArteFino centered on the theme of PAMANA, which highlighted Philippine heritage through generational connections — showcasing relationships like best friends, grandparents and grandchildren, and parents and children. The fair continues to honor cultural heritage this year but infuses a modern twist to it. As Marimel Francisco explains, “The focus remains the same, but we are turning the spotlight on contemporary expressions that are rooted in our history. It’s essentially heritage, but not in an old-fashioned way.”
