EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED Networking for New Buyers @ IFFS 2018 Global markets are picking up and we re here as a 17-company pavilion to bring Indonesia products to worldwide audiences. The IFFS platform helps our companies to gain good international visibility, so we hope to continue this collaboration at the new venue next year and beyond. MUGIANTO SUKADI ISMAN, CHAIRMAN INDONESIA FURNITURE INDUSTRY & HANDICRAFT ASSOCIATION (ASMINDO) (INDONESIA) I ve always dreamt of being able to design for companies around the globe, be it in Australia, Asia, the UK, or in Europe, and IFFS is helping me in my journey with its many international buyers and visitors. My friend was the one who introduced me to IFFS we were both very impressed by what IFFS offered, so I decided to participate. RYOTA YOKOZEKI / FOUNDER RYOTA YOKOZEKI STUDIO (JAPAN) We confirmed orders with a supplier from Turkey and another from Indonesia within the first 2 hours of the show, so I d say that we have been successful so far. We like the high-end, international offerings here, and find many exhibitors who offer a good combination of quality and price. MARION HORGAN / OWNER HORGANS (AUSTRALIA) I believe the new venue will pique people s curiosity, and a different audience will be keen to come see the fair. Some of our customers come specially to meet with us here, and we ve also received quality new leads from all over the world from as far as South America, South Africa, and Europe. It was a fruitful time here at IFFS, and we ll be there at MBS next year! JAN-WOUT HULSTEIN / FOUNDER ASIADES LTD (HONG KONG) I ve been here six years in a row now and continue to see a great cross section of suppliers from around the world here. Other shows in this region feature a majority of their own local manufacturers, but IFFS is different in a good way for me. I meet a lot of reputable companies here that offer high quality products. DAVID PEEZ,BOSS MAN, REPUBLIC HOME (NEW ZEALAND) I m a UAE-based interior designer, and this has been a great first-time experience for me here at IFFS. I ve expanded my supplier database, and discovered many quality products from countries like Thailand, Vietnam, and India. There are some very good options for custom or bespoke products here, and the lead times are really amazing! I made some valuable contacts this week, so I ll likely be back again next year.
