At the current “Index Interior Design & Furniture Exhibition” at the Dubai World Trade Centre, a delegation of Filipino furniture, furnishings, and fashion designers is taking part after a six-year break due to the restrictive Novel Coronavirus 2020.
In response to three of the biggest furniture manufacturing organisations’ requests to “return to Index,” the Department of Trade and Industry-Centre for International Trade and Expositions and Missions (DTI-CITEM) organised the 10 businesses under the theme “Handcrafted for the World,” which declares the Philippines as the destination for the coveted timeless strength of craftsmanship and charming yet universal creativity of handmade products.
At the 90-square-meter DESIGNPhilippines pavilion’s inauguration on Tuesday, DTI-CITEM-Service Business Department manager Marjo Evio told Gulf Today that the “largest of furniture manufacturers in Manila, Pampanga, and Cebu paid a courtesy call” to the then-newly appointed DTI-CITEM executive director Romleah Juliet Pulido Ocampo at some point in 2024.
The foreign trade shows the group would attend were one of the topics covered. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is “vibrant and promising, and all the contract hospitality taking place,” according to the Index.
