about international furniture fair singapore/ASEAN furniture show (IFFS/AFS)

the international furniture fair singapore, held in conjunction with the ASEAN furniture show (IFFS/AFS) began in 1981
and has since grown to be regarded by industry experts as asia's most prestigious furniture trade show. IFFS/AFS provides
an effective marketing platform for regional companies to venture into global markets. as a testimony to the quality of the show,
IFFS/AFS is the first asian-based international furniture fair to be accepted as a member of the elite union des foires internationales,
a paris-based international authority on trade fairs. in addition, it is the only furniture trade event in singapore to be awarded
the 'approved international fair' status by the singapore tourism board. IFFS/AFS is set to become even more comprehensive
for the furniture players, with the addition of the inaugural deco asia and hospitality asia to expand the scope of the show.
