Kathmandu: The eighth edition of the Furniture and Furnishing Expo has been slated to be held on second week of September. The expo that was not held for the past two years owing to the pandemic will be held from September 8-12 at Bhrikutimandap, Kathmandu.
The expo will be organized by the Nepal Furniture and Furnishing Association under the management of Event Solutions Pvt. Ltd. The organizers believe that the expo will help to revitalize the economy suffering from the impacts of the pandemic.
According to the Chairman of the association, Shubhendra Joshi, the furniture business that remained at a standstill for almost one and a half years is now returning to normal. “In this situation, the expo will play the role of a proper platform for businessmen and consumers,” said Joshi. “Not only this, but we believe that the expo will also contribute to making economic activities viable.”
The organizer said there will be more than 120 stalls at the expo which will last for five days. According to the organizer, the main attraction of the expo will be materials such as kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, outdoor furniture, interior designer, carpet and marble among others. Prestige Carpet will be the main sponsor of the eighth edition of the expo which will be attended by exhibitors from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and other countries.
It is expected that the expo will help to make the country self-reliant in furniture production by introducing modern technology in the furnishing business. It is said that the expo will play an important role in expanding the market of furniture products when the trend of modern lifestyle is increasing.
According to Event Solutions Pvt Ltd, bookings have been opened for participating in the expo. Vijay Sagar Pradhan, Managing Director of Event Solutions, said that a 10 percent discount on the total cost has been arranged for those who book stalls by July 8.
