The International Furniture Fair Singapore, held in conjunction with the ASEAN Furniture Show (IFFS/AFS) The Décor Show and furniPRO Asia, is regarded by industry experts as Asia's most exciting sourcing platform.
With over three decades of experience since its inaugural event in 1981, the IFFS/AFS remains the most distinctive channel for regional and international companies to penetrate the global market, connecting design, inspiration and trade.
The events – The IFFS/AFS and The Décor Show – feature a comprehensive range of furniture, furnishing, decorative accessories, interiors and fittings by a diverse portfolio of quality exhibitors, and attracts a healthy and well-represented attendance of trade buyers and visitors. To make it a holistic trade event, the various design initiatives (SingaPlural – Celebrating Design and Furniture Design Award) offer added depth and dimension to this Singapore-anchored trade event, raising its profile as a show not-to-be-missed in the industry calendar.
The themes for 2016 look at sources of inspiration, and how creating designs that are relevant to the trends of today connects inspiration to trade. The three themes are: Smart Living Smart living is designing of furniture and spaces that go beyond aesthetics, to challenge the way we see furniture and how it enables people. With a deep understanding of the users, the environment and context, and meaningful incorporation of new technology, design can "think for the users" and empower them to live better. Convivial In the twilight of a society based on data, people increasingly place value on experiences, emotion and interaction. Convivial revolves around how the design of furniture and spaces can help people to fulfil their emotional needs by bringing them together and encouraging interaction and companionship. Design Forward Drawing from trends, design, and principles from outside of furniture and interior design, Design Forward examines sources of inspiration and how to use them as catalysts to drive new ideas and fresh perspectives to create design forward pieces.
