Philippines International Furniture Show set on March 7 to 9

ON MARCH 7 to 9, the Philippines International Furniture Show (known to some simply as PIFS), one of Southeast Asia’s premier trade fairs, will once again offer an extensive range of furniture products, accessories, and décor at the SMX Convention Center Manila, Mall of Asia Complex.

This event is jointly organized by the Cebu Furniture Industries Foundation Inc. (CFIF), the Chamber of Furniture Industries of the Philippines (CFIP), and the Pampanga Furniture Industries Foundation (PFIF). Visitors are encouraged to register online at

www.pifs.ph to get a free 1-day pass. Known as the “Milan of Asia,” the Philippines has exhibited a strong reputation for innovative and original, often groundbreaking, ideas and design interpretation.

That is why PIFS continues to attract buyers from all over the world who want to see first-hand what Filipino design and craftsmanship has to offer. Some come from countries as far as the United States of America, Singapore, Japan, Malaysia, United Arab Emirates, China, Australia, Saudi Arabia, France, Thailand, Germany, India, and many more.

“As we organize PIFS, we organize one of the premier venues for all furniture and furnishing products that are up to par to world-class standards,” said Eduardo Zuluaga, overall event chairman for PIFS and president of the Chamber of Furniture Industries of the Philippines.

“It is where we show the world the ingenuity of our local manufacturers and designers, how we interpret the latest industry trends, and in many cases, take the lead in design innovation.”

Among the highlights is the iDisenyo Interior Design Competition which will be showcasing the teams’ final furniture pieces and awarding the winners during PIFS. iDisenyo is a contest for teams of interior design students and professionals and their corresponding furniture manufacturer as partner. Each team will be designing a furniture piece that fit their manufacturer’s mission and vision, taking into consideration the increasing limitation of space without sacrificing function, comfort and aesthetics. iDisenyo is organized by the University of the Philippines Interior Design Alumni Association (UPIDAA) and the Chamber of Furniture Industries of the Philippines (CFIP) in collaboration with Adams Philippines.
