To be held at the Tan Binh Exhibition and Convention Centre, the fair also includes a dialogue between designers, architects and local producers of wood and interior decor products.
Hanh said more Vietnamese were buying local furniture products.
The fair will provide a good platform for producers, interior consultants, designers and distributors to exchange information and form linkages to create a complete chain from the factory to consumers in a bid to provide consumers with good quality products at reasonable prices.
The furniture and home decor industry’s domestic sales are expected to reach US$2 billion this year, he said.

“The government’s focus on improving infrastructure in Myanmar will see the major development of new roads, buildings, pipelines and electrical grids. At the same time, a sharp rise in foreign direct investment has seen a big growth in demand for new office space as well as housing for expatriates.”
Organised by Sphere Exhibits, a subsidiary of Singapore Press Holdings, and co-organised by the Myanmar Construction Entrepreneurs Association, the show is expected to attract over 4,500 visitors.
