The five-day annual event will see 500 exhibitors from 14 countries including China, Taiwan, Korea, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Spain, USA, Singapore, Italy and France flock to the show in Kuala Lumpur to display the latest Asian design trends to thousands of visitors.

A new showcase entitled "Designing with Malaysian Hardwood" will take the center stage for the first time this year, in a collaboration between the Malaysian Timber Council and MIFF.
