第一届 MANIFESTO Fair 以「各有所长」FLAIR IN FOCUS 为策展命题,从时装、家具与生活方式领域的具体创作出发,汇集国内外品牌、设计师、艺术家及文化出版单位,探索设计、艺术、工艺与商业之间的多元关系。
展览以脚手架作为核心空间语言,通过可延展的工业结构串联品牌展区、经典家具、艺术装置、设计图书馆、工作坊与餐饮体验。不同创作者依据各自擅长的材料、工艺和表达方式展开创作,在保持独立性的同时,共同组成一个开放而持续生长的设计场域。
MANIFESTO Fair 由此成为一块共同创作的画布:让成熟品牌与新兴力量彼此并置,让设计从物件展示进入文化、生活和交流的真实现场,也为尚未被充分看见的创造力提供发声与继续出发的平台。
The first edition of MANIFESTO Fair, titled “FLAIR IN FOCUS,” took the creative practices of fashion, furniture, and contemporary lifestyle as its point of departure. Bringing together international and local brands, designers, artists, and independent publishers, the fair explored the diverse relationships between design, art, craftsmanship, and commerce.
Scaffolding served as the exhibition’s central spatial language. Its adaptable industrial structure connected brand presentations, iconic furniture, art installations, a design library, workshops, and culinary experiences. Working with their own materials, techniques, and modes of expression, participating creatives maintained their distinct identities while collectively shaping an open and continuously evolving design environment.
MANIFESTO Fair thus became a shared canvas for creation—bringing established brands into dialogue with emerging voices, moving design beyond the display of objects and into the lived contexts of culture, everyday life, and exchange, while offering a platform for overlooked creative practices to be seen, heard, and carried forward.
