This year, the theme for the exhibition of Design Commune is anchored on the theme, "Light the Way". The much-anticipated exhibition is inspired by the Filipino term, "maaliwalas" (bright), hence it invites audiences to look at these curated spaces that reflect positivity, balance, and hope in these challenging times.

This visual feast is under the direction of the creative director of FAME+ Vince Uy, curated by Architect Aya Maceda of New York-based design firm ALAO, Stephanie Coyiuto-Tay of Casa Bella, Architect Nicole Tan of interior designer Boon, and features the products designed by Rita Nazareno, Gabby Lichauco, Stanley Ruiz, and Rachelle Dagñalan.
