Chinese Original Design to Shine in Further Expanded Design Halls

The reason why Furniture China becomes the first choice for both domestic and foreign furni-ture buyers and wins better reputation year by year is because of the organizers’ constant strict control over exhibitor quality. This year, a total of 2,175 quality domestic and foreign furniture brands will participate in the exhibition in Shanghai New International Expo Center, of which 1,342 are modern furniture brands for home and design brands reach as many as 129. It must be extremely eye-catching.

In 2018, Furniture China will form a new layout of three design halls, E5, E6 and E7, to present the audience with more quality design brands. Hall E5 is the main part to be adjusted, where unqualified brands are eliminated and new original design brands are introduced.

 

As the modern design hall, E5 has a total of 46 brands, of which 14 will embrace their debut here, accounting for nearly 30%.
