After the inauguration, the officials toured the exhibition, where they were introduced to the pavilions and stands, and listened to an explanation from the exhibitors about the latest in the world of furnishings, furniture and smart home technologies. They also met with representatives of Emirati and local companies whose presence is eye-catching and who have distinguished offers on classic and modern home furnishings and antique furniture with modern touches.
HE Abdallah Sultan Al-Owais said: “The Furniture 360 exhibition is part of a series of commercial and marketing events that the SCCI and ECS are keen to organize with the aim of promoting and supporting the retail sector and attracting shoppers from inside and outside the UAE. The last edition of the event saw a turnout of more than 12,000 visitors, and we expect that this year will be a bigger hit, especially considering the large participation of major companies specialized in the furniture and furnishings sector, and the increase in demand for furniture and furnishings, particularly due to the recovery of the real-estate market in the UAE”.
