Home InStyle
Organised by the HKTDC, Home InStyle is a designed-focused trade fair curated to offer the industry a refreshing new experience. The fair aims to enable exhibitors and buyers to explore the latest houseware trends, source smart and unique home designs and products. Gathering more than 900 exhibitors from 15 countries and regions, it provides an ideal platform for exhibitors to showcase their latest products, while facilitating networking and collaboration among traders.
Home InStyle will feature several international group pavilions, including those from Bangladesh, Mainland China, Korea, Taiwan and Thailand. The celebrated Hall of Elegance will feature sought-after designer collections and brands such as TVS Spa (Italy), Lamart (Italy), Finamill (Hong Kong), Blinkmax (Mainland China) and more.
The World of Fine Dining will showcase the latest designs of tableware, kitchenware and accessories from top brands including Sunway Hardware Co., Ltd (Mainland China), Koopman International Hong Kong Limited (Hong Kong), Iljin Cookware Co., Ltd (Korea), and Mercanlar Mutfak Esyalari San. Tic. A.S. (Turkey). Another zone World of Fine Décor will also present a broad range of stylish and functional home decorations.
The fair will launch a new curated zone – the Cultural & Creative Corner with the concurrent Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair. The zone will feature over 30 exhibitors with a focus of Hong Kong designer brands and products imbued with cultural uniqueness. One of the exhibitors is Tsaoao Design, a Hong Kong company that produces home-made Chinese papercuttings using authentic traditional materials. The products are first drawn and cut by hand before being digitised and reproduced one-by-one using a blade-cutting machine. This innovative approach aspires to reintegrate traditional crafts into the digital age.
The Cultural & Creative Corner will also feature a line-up of 12 exhibitors and several series of design-led crossover products from the ReMIX Program, organised by the Industrial Designers Society of Hong Kong (IDSHK). One of the exhibitors is Sapiens Design Limited, a Hong Kong designer brand that aims to bring structural aesthetics into daily home products and explore the boundary between artificial and natural materials.
A range of events will be held during the fair period to keep visitors abreast of the latest market information and encourage exchanges between exhibitors and buyers. In particular, there will be seminars hosted by industry players and associations to share insights on key areas crucial to the sector’s development such as sustainability and creativity.
