During the Salone del Mobile 2024, HOST&HOME presents an exhibition dedicated to Thai design, between high craftsmanship and contemporary innovation
The HOST&HOME project was established in 2015 by the Thai Ministry of Commerce in collaboration with the Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP). This initiative was created to promote Thai design and support local entrepreneurs working in the hospitality sector in Italy and Europe.
