Nepal Furniture and Furnishing Association (NFFA), the organizer of the event, said all the local furniture producers are participating in the expo. [break]Through a total of 56 stalls, the expo promises to be a mega display of a wide variety of locally made furniture meant for home, office, kitchen, bathroom and outdoors.
"The expo will offer a complete furniture solution to the visitors," said C N Upadhyaya, coordinator of the event.
The expo has separate stalls for bamboo furniture, interior decoration items, interior designing services, furnishing and flooring goods, steel furniture and fixtures, steel and wooden railings, aluminum windows and doors, upholsteries and mattresses, carpets, paints, marbles, tiles and granites, among others.
The stalls have announced a discount offer of 33 percent on different range of furniture.
"The customers can get sofa set, kitchen set and bed room set at just two-thirds of the prevailing market rate if they book them during the expo," said Upadhyay.
In the expo, the producers are selling sofa sets at prices ranging from Rs 80,000 to Rs 200,000. Bed room set is being sold at Rs 90,000, while kitchen sets are priced Rs 100,000 onwards.
Chief Secretary Lila Mani Poudyal, who inaugurated the expo, expressed hope that the fair would be instrumental in popularizing furniture produced by local craftsmen.
"The effort made by the NFFA to organize the expo is praiseworthy. The customers will become familiar with quality and variety of locally manufactured furniture, eventually encouraging them to use locally produced items, thereby, reducing imports of furniture from international market," said Poudyal.
"Quality of Nepali furniture is at par with the imported ones. If the producers made consistent efforts, I am sure they will find more buyers," he added.
The association has anticipated that the expo would attract around 150,000 visitors.
