Salone and Fuorisalone are returning
After Milano Design City and SuperSalone, the return of the real thing: Salone is back at Rho, along with hundreds of events across the city, albeit with an unusual summer slot.
When the pandemic first hit in 2020, Salone and FuoriSalone were among the first events cancelled (who thought then we still wouldn’t have an April visit to Milan by now), but both exhibitions return next month. Salone is celebrating its 60th edition with a focus on sustainability. Visit: www.salonemilano.it Visit: www.fuorisalone.it

Four bar Hexham
This variant to the established eight bar Hexham spindle aims to give a cleaner, more contemporary look yet remains also able to cross over into traditional. A winner with painters.

Our highly popular eight bar back plain spindle back chair is where modern meets the best of Victorian simple. Equally at home in town or country dining settings. Available in beech or oak.
Hoop back
An enormously popular and stylish hoop back with elegant good looks and features, robust enough even for contract. This is a quality beech chair that fits many bills.
Windsor Hoop Carver
We have taken a classic Georgian style an adapted it for modern living. The ageless lines evoke their traditional background but also harness a more modern edge. Great as a stand-alone chair in its own right or a carver complement to our hoop or Hexham’s.

MIFF returns in the summer
Spring Art Industries
The Malaysian International Furniture Fair (MIFF) returns from 6-9 July as the largest marketplace for Malaysian furniture exporters, held at the Malaysia International Trade & Exhibition Centre and World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur.
More than 400 suppliers are keenly anticipating showcasing their latest furniture products and reconnecting with buyers. Artwright, Ecomate, Euro Chairs, Future Manufacturer, Heveapac, Isella Sofa, Latitude Tree, Nova Talent, Sern Kou, TA Furniture and TITOV are among the active players that have booked ‘front-row seats’ for MIFF this year. China Pavilion, Thailand and Taiwan exhibitors are onboard too.
Catch the high-quality designs in home furniture, office furniture and wood furniture at this one-stop exhibition. From fittings to furnishing materials, the choices are wide-ranging and cater to all business needs.
Apart from the anticipated furniture exhibits, MIFF 2022 will furnish a platform for an enhanced business matching, allowing industry peers to finally reconnect prior, during and after the show. MIFF offers a hybrid experience enabling buyers to hold a discussion with suppliers before visiting the show in person.
More than a thousand serious buyers from 80 countries and regions have booked flights to MIFF. Buyer delegations from Japan, US, Canada, Europe and Turkey are looking forward to the chance to touch and feel products from the exhibiting companies.
‘Buyers now are longing for a physical exhibition experience, after two years online with no opportunity of feeling and touching products and textures.
‘We are ready to receive our global industry friends to experience the summer furniture sourcing in Kuala Lumpur, as the confidence of international visitors has increased with the reopening of the border,’ says Karen Goi, MIFF general manager.
‘With visitor numbers to the country steadily increasing, buyers can now travel with confidence and finally have a physical business gathering with industry peers, to catch up with new products, design and trends.’
The Valued Visitor Privilege Programme is offered to the first 200 international buyers to register with MIFF online, with a free three-night stay at the five-star Sofitel Kuala Lumpur hotel.
MIFF will be powered by renewable energy from this year, supporting initiatives to shape a sustainable future for the furniture industry. Visit: www.miff.com.my

Almost 2,600 companies took part
The 53rd edition of the IHGF Delhi Fair won support from buyers and the Indian PM
The 53rd edition of the IHGF Delhi Fair concluded with support from Indian prime minster Narendra Modi.
‘Our handicrafts sector reflects the unity in diversity, richness and vibrancy of our society and culture. The emphasis is on providing wider market opportunities for our hardworking craftsmen. Our government firmly believes that upgrading technology holds the key to its expansion. We have taken decisive measures to further research and innovation in the sector and help manufacturers produce even more user-friendly and durable products,’ he says.
The exhibition hosted 2,596 exhibitors, with sustainability at the fore as many buyers sought eco-friendly and compliant ranges in home and lifestyle products. Many said they loved the ‘raw’ and ‘natural’ look, and suppliers at the show offered more options in repurposed cast-off materials and derivatives drawn from nature. European buyers have sourced interesting regular-use bags as alternatives to plastics, among other home products. Many selected basketry and home utility items made from jute, hemp, river grass, cane and bamboo.
‘Our buyers have been happy to see that we share the global concern towards saving the environment. They have liked contemporary and stylish cane and bamboo crafts, home decoratives, furniture and furnishings, artisanal textiles, dry flowers and potpourri, natural fibre products, handcrafted fashion jewellery and accessories on display by our exhibitors, all conforming to prevalent and upcoming trends in international markets, because of which they are in high demand.’
‘While many established players in India have taken decisive steps to be socially as well as environmentally responsible and compliant, and are certified, there are many artisans and manufacturers at grassroots level whose business model is essentially centred on sustainability. We have brought them to the forefront through this fair,’ says Rakesh Kumar, EPCH director general.
The Autumn edition of IHGF is due to take place from 14-18 October. Visit: www.ihgfdelhifair.in
