IFFS 2015 Expands Horizons

Pre-registration is open for the March 13-16 International Furniture Fair Singapore 2015/32nd ASEAN Furniture Show, The Décor Show, and Hospitality 360°.

More than 1,500 industry professionals already have registered for access, according to show organizers. The trio of design-led events will occupy interconnected Halls 1 through 6, and visitors can expect to enjoy a seamless experience while browsing the comprehensive range of furniture presented by a diverse portfolio of quality exhibitors.
 
“The show’s primary objective has been to facilitate conversations and create business opportunities between manufacturers and designers, distributors, retailers, and hoteliers,” said Ernie Koh, Chairman of IFFS. “Each year, the team endeavours to make the event even better and more relevant for all attendees. And for 2015, buyers can look forward to a wider offering with the addition of exhibitors from two new countries, while those seeking inspiration can keep their eyes peeled for our brand new SingaPlural Design Hall.”
 
This year's IFFS show trio boasts a total of 12 country pavilions--including Belgium, China, France, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, The Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam--as well as new representation from Portugal and Turkey, bringing the total country count to 28.
 
IFFS also continues to facilitate the melding of design with the furniture business. While the show traditionally devotes an entire gallery to design, audiences can expect a novel approach to celebrating design at IFFS 2015.
 
For one, George Soo of FLIQ will curate a thematic showcase of carefully selected pieces taken from collections that will be presented by a group of 15 crème-de-la-crème exhibitors from the SingaPlural Design Hall. Located in Hall 1, this installation will give visitors a sneak peek of the exclusive designs offered by notable companies, including d-Bodhi (Singapore), Far East Furniture (The Philippines), Resource Décor (Hong Kong), HALO (Hong Kong), Woven+ (The Netherlands), Tropical Outdoor (Hong Kong), and Kare Design (Germany).
 
Also worth on tap at IFFS 2015 are two light installations exclusively crafted for the show. Through the clever use of innovative printed lighting technology, Singapore designers Kenny Hong of 11H and Andre Tan of XOPO will each present their unique creations at various locations, enhancing the show experience for attendees.
 
SingaPlural is a showcase of the best design elements from the multiple facets of Singapore’s creative spectrum, including Advertising, Architecture, Urban Planning, Landscape Architecture, as well as Interior, Furniture, Graphic and Fashion Design. An event organised by SFIC, SingaPlural 2015 that runs from 10 – 16 March is the anchor event of the Singapore Design Week. Several components of the event will also grace the SingaPlural Design Hall in IFFS, including the Asian STAR Showcase, a themed display featuring pieces under the Furniture Design Awards (FDA), as well as the latest designs from international studios, associations, and institutions.
