Interior Lifestyle Tokyo Sets Dates for its Return in 2022
As a leading trade fair for the home décor and interior design market, Interior Lifestyle Tokyo is the ideal platform for exhibitors to meet new clients and expand their businesses. The fair, which was deferred for two years in a row due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will return from 1 - 3 June 2022 in the West Halls of Tokyo Big Sight for its 30th edition celebration. The 2022 show is poised to create an even more business-friendly environment through a strengthened business matching programme and a wider range of product zones.
After almost 30 years of industry service, Interior Lifestyle Tokyo has become adept at attracting the right mix of quality buyers, including specialty stores and large retailers. At the previous running in 2019, 85% of visitors had influence on purchasing decisions, which translated into plenty of sales negotiations and on-site orders at the fairground. Visitors value the fair as a place to meet collaborators and find new décor in a relaxed atmosphere. Trends that will shape the next season are the fair’s hallmark, and next year, after a two year gap, the fair will be back in the spotlight again.
Held in October 2021, IFFT/Interior Lifestyle Living, sister event of Interior Lifestyle Tokyo, demonstrated that the pandemic has not reduced the industry’s appetite for face-to-face business encounters. The fair hosted a total of 300 exhibitors from five different countries and regions and welcomed 11,147 visitors. Although online meetings have become more frequent during the pandemic, most exhibitors acknowledged the value of face to face meetings and are eager to restart Interior Lifestyle Tokyo and establish new business relationships.
New ETHICAL zone and new booth sizes are available
While next year’s fair will celebrate its 30th edition milestone, it will also look to the future for the next home décor trends. A new ETHICAL zone will focus solely on the environment, up-cycling, fair trade, products that support people with disabilities, organic products, local production for local consumption and more.
In response to requests from exhibitors of small products, a new booth size has been introduced for 2022. The measurement is 6.3 sqm (width 3m x depth 2.1m), which is one size smaller than the existing 9 sqm booth, adding more choice for exhibitors.
