An unmissable opportunity
The last edition provided a unique opportunity to learn about the latest trends in design, discover the novel aspects of Made in China furniture and its business potential, and create solid, profitable business relationships between professionals from all over the world and increasingly qualified exhibitors.
It was an international event in terms of visitor and exhibitor attendance. On show there were terms and products of growing sophistication in terms of materials and details, responding perfectly to recent market demands.
Visitors were met with an extremely wide range of exhibitions, lectures, and forums involving famous designers, journalists, and curators. This not only created an efficient communication platform positioned to lead the development of new trends but also provided important networking opportunities, facilitating fruitful exchanges and forging valuable collaborations.
