Mian Kashif Ashfaq, President of the PFC, said the exhibition will also provide the younger designers and architects to study the market trends and display their own work alongside that of more established professionals.
The exhibition had now opened new vistas and venues to the amazing potential and caliber of Pakistani furniture, fixtures and respective furnishing goods with high quality, said the official.
The essence of this mega furniture exhibition was to promote the furniture and associated Pakistan made products at the local and international level, said Ashfaq, adding that it would be a great platform for all small, medium and large furniture manufacturing companies in the country to promote their business and furniture related accessories.
Pakistan still lags behind many countries in making good, attractive and modern furniture, but its hand-made furniture is quite famous because of its unique designs.
The wooden furniture exports of Pakistan reportedly amount to over 70 million US dollars per annum. However, according to the All Pakistan Furniture Exporters Association, the country’s local furniture market is much stronger with an annual sale of over three billion US dollars, which offers a big room for foreign companies to enter.
