Furniture and Design, Find leaves Singapore and lands in Bangkok

FIND - Design Fair Asia, the event dedicated to design and furnishing organised by Fiera Milano, changes venue and, after four editions in Singapore, moves to Bangkok, where it will be held from 26 to 28 November at the QSNCC - Queen Sirikit National Convention Center.

The choice of Thailand is no coincidence, explains a note from the exhibition scoiety: "In recent years, the country has established itself as one of the most dynamic markets in South-East Asia for design, hospitality and the furniture industry, as well as representing a strategic hub for access to the entire Asean region, which comprises more than 670 million inhabitants out of ten member countries.

According to leading industry analyses, the furniture and interior design market in the Asia-Pacific region (APAC) is today worth about USD 260 billion and could reach USD 470 billion by 2032, with some of the highest growth rates internationally. In particular, South-East Asia represents one of the most dynamic development poles: the region's furniture market is set to reach USD 248 billion by 2027, with an average annual growth rate of more than 8%. The interior design services sector also shows very positive prospects: the Asia-Pacific market is expected to reach USD 40-45 billion by 2030, supported by the expansion of residential construction, tourism and the development of new commercial and hospitality projects. Bangkok plays a central role in this scenario. Indeed, the city is at the centre of a rapid urban transformation, fuelled by major investments in real estate, hospitality and interior design projects.

The Thai edition will be organised by Fiera Milano Asia Pacific, the new Fiera Milano company set up last year with the aim of strengthening the group's presence in Asian markets and developing new exhibition platforms dedicated to design and the creative industries. The initiative also enjoys the strategic partnership of Tida (Thailand Interior Designers' Association), one of the main professional organisations in the country, which groups together the most important architecture studios, contractors and architects, involved in prestigious projects linked to the development of the hospitality and residential world.

The event will be conceived as a hub for networking and cultural exchange, with international exhibitors, B2B meetings, talks and in-depth moments dedicated to new trends in living, hospitality and contemporary architecture. Special attention will be devoted to Italia design, recognised globally as a reference point for quality, innovation and project culture. In fact, the event intends to strengthen relations between the European - and Italia in particular - design system and one of the most promising markets globally.
