 “This is my first trip to the Hong Kong Houseware Fair and the International Home textiles and Furnishings Fair. I didn’t know what to expect and l have been pleasantly surprised.
To walk around the four floors and experience the wide range of unique products on offer for prospective buyers is quite overwhelming.
All elements you need for your home are covered, from pet products, to household slippers, kitchenware, storage…there is no element not covered! There was even a section for children’s household items, chairs, cutlery and even party products.
I attended a presentation by WGSN Futures who discussed up and coming trends in furnishings and interior design and one of the topics they covered included multi coloured cutlery. During my walk around the show l was fascinated to see the “L.I.F.E” themes with bronze, gold and opal coloured cutlery, only to discover after this presentation it was very much “on trend”.
I was fascinated to see how far and wide exhibitors had come to display their wares, which are unique to their country thus offering products not seen before. Countries outside of Asia, like Poland and New Zealand.
The most fascinating meeting was with the representative from HancDesign (under Easia Designs) the craftsmanship of their products is second to none. The company philosophy of appreciating and maintaining the Chinese culture and heritage through quality furniture showed in the finishes and designs of their pieces. The video on their website brings a personal element to the designs and creates a story and a background to every piece of furniture and the philosophy of the design process. They are only a young company, but they have huge potential. The passion they impart is what furniture design, manufacture and craftsmanship is all about and ultimately what we look for in the furniture industry.”

 “Export Promotion Board Bangladesh has set up a group pavilion at the Hong Kong Houseware Fair for many times to showcase handmade houseware produced by Bangladesh manufacturers. As the Hong Kong Houseware Fair provides an important platform for Bangladesh manufacturers to promote their products to international buyers and to get new orders, the number of exhibitors in the Bangladesh pavilion at this year’s fair has increased to 21 from 15 last year. This year Bangladesh exhibitors are showcasing a wide range of handicraft products, home decorations, kitchenware, tableware, table linens and pillows. As our products are renowned for their good quality, unique designs, fine craftsmanship and eco-friendliness, our exhibitors have received many buyer enquiries and have met with new buyers from Europe, Japan and Korea.”

 “Shigaraki is a town in Japan which is famous for producing pottery. At this year’s Hong Kong Houseware Fair, the Association of Shigaraki Ceramic Company has converted a standard booth into a Japanese garden decorated with different kinds of pottery ware provided by eight members of the Association. Our main goals are to introduce Japanese lifestyle and culture and to promote the exports of Shigaraki pottery ware. One of the attractive exhibits is a huge ceramic bathtub which has a diameter of 110cm and a height of 60cm. Many buyers like our Japanese garden and Shigaraki pottery. Buyers from the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong have expressed their interest in buying our pottery. One of our exhibitors will visit a retailer in Hong Kong to have further negotiations on the third day of the fair.”

 “Based in Turkey, our company is an importer, wholesaler and retailer of kitchenware, tableware, home textiles, lighting products and gifts. We have 20 corner shops in well-known department stores and operate an online store in Turkey. We have visited the Hong Kong Houseware Fair for many times. We like to come every year because suppliers here can offer high quality and good designs and many of them have lowered their MOQ requirement to 500 pieces. At the fair, we have found more than 10 potential suppliers from the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and India for the provision of cutlery sets and knives. We plan to buy one container of cutlery sets and knives from each of the new suppliers after getting their quotations and it’ll take one week for us to finalise our orders.”

 “Our company is a one-stop shop for all kinds of hotel supplies in Malaysia. Apart from supplying to boutique hotels, we also sell bedding, bathroom products and decorations to consumers through our online store. We have been to the Hong Kong Houseware Fair for several times because it is a good place for us to look for high-quality, innovative and durable products to meet the needs of boutique hotels and consumers. So far, we have identified about 10 potential suppliers who will send us the quotations after the fair. After collecting their quotations, we’ll check the requirements of our hotel clients and place orders. We notice that the HKTDC has produced an attractive promotional leaflet highlighting the theme of this year’s fair ‒ “L.I.F.E.”, which stands for four themed zones: Lifestyle, Interior, Feast and Enrich. It helps us to find what we want and locate the right suppliers.”

 “In business for 15 years, Home Zone is a home textiles manufacturer in India. Our products are made of 100% cotton covering table linen, living linen, kitchen towels and bed linen. This is our first participation in Home Textiles Fair to grow our business. We are keen to reach out to more importers and retailers from all over the world. So far, we have met with two serious customers from Belgium and Greece. They expressed interest in our table linen and kitchen towels. Further negotiation will be conducted and we will send samples and pricing details to them. The fair offers a great opportunity for us to gain more exposure. The organiser has provided good support. We really like this exhibition.”

 “J-Tex produces a great variety of bedding collections under licensed brands like Hallmark and Disney as well as our own brand J-Tex. Major markets cover Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta area including Shenzhen of the Chinese mainland and Macau. We have been participating in Home Textiles Fair for many years. This is an excellent platform to expand business. Our new bedding series of Hallmark made of Tencel and premium fabrics is among the highlights for this year’s exhibition. We have already met with some new customers from USA, UAE, India and Portugal. Some of them are exploring OEM cooperation. Further negotiation will get underway after the fair and samples will be sent over for buyers’ assessment. This fair is really a good place to meet different customers all under one roof. We can always secure new buyers every year.”

 “We are engaged in the e-tailing business in Russia selling primarily fashion and accessories. Our shopping platform has been in operation for two years and we are expanding our business to cover home furnishings and household items. We are visiting Home Textiles Fair for the first time to find new suppliers. This is really an eye-opening experience. We have found a lot of interesting home furnishings here including mattresses and bed linens. There are many Indian exhibitors and they are showcasing an amazing mix of well-designed collections. We have also spotted some attractive items such as garden decorative products and small home items at Houseware Fair. We have collected a lot of information about different products. We will go through them carefully to choose the most suitable items. This is a great fair and we will definitely come again.”

 “We specialise in the supply of home furnishings as well as textiles and interior décor for the hotel industry. Based in Dubai, our business covers the markets of UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait. We also deal with some hotels in Africa. I am visiting Home Textiles Fair to find bed linen, table linen and decorative products for homes and hotels. I have identified two new suppliers from the Chinese mainland for table linen, bed linen and chair covers. I’ve also got in touch with Indonesia exhibitor PT. Indah Jaya Textile Industry that produces quality textiles for the hotel industry. I will meet the new suppliers in the Chinese mainland and Indonesia after the fair to discuss business cooperation. Our orders will be at least US$50,000-US$100,000 with each supplier. Talks are also underway with an Italian supplier of kitchen appliances at Houseware Fair. The hotel industry is booming worldwide driving demand for hotel-related textiles. I hope to see more textiles for the hospitality business at the fair.”
