CIFM / interzum guangzhou 2012
Green Home Design Forum
I. Forum background
"Low-carbon" and "environment protection" have become the buzz words in the furniture industry after the Copenhagen conferences. Furniture makers are all standing in line to establish these two factors as the basis and lifeline of enterprise development. In the meantime, green design has become the new philosophy in furniture innovation. Free of pollution and methanol, green furniture is now in demand, and green design has also gained the attention of domestic furniture manufacturers and designers. It is a new concept to be materialized, as consumers focus on stylish and cultural fusion furniture. Green concept is now more of a requirement for the enterprises to survive and develop rather than just a feature of time.
To suit the needs of furniture enterprises, CIFM / interzum guangzhou 2012 presents you with the Green Home Design Forum as part of the exhibition highlights. At the Forum, experts from national and international associations, senior managers and technicians from furniture enterprises and suppliers, and renowned designers will gather together to discuss and share their thoughts on the issue, as well as the concept and culture of green design.
