Mf3: A Not-To-Be-Missed Furniture Fair

24 July 2011,



When you think of a design for your furniture, what comes to your mind? Contemporary, classic or Oriental? Now, let’s see, what about batik? Yes, the essentially Malaysian fabric can be incorporated into furniture. If you have visited last year’s MF3 (Malaysian Furniture & Furnishing Fair), you will be familiar with the Batik-style furniture. Organised by KLSFEA (The Kuala Lumpur & Selangor Furniture Entrepreneur Association), MF3 is the home fair of the year, bringing quality and affordable home furniture and furnishing to homeowners.

The continuation of the Batik corner in MF3 is definitely something we can look forwards to. Vice President Wong Thian Choy and President Edmond Chew of KLSFEA say: “Batik has always been a part of the Malaysian culture. As part of the association’s aim of encouraging innovation, last year we included Batik as part of the exhibition. Due to the good feedback, we have decided to include it again this year, working together with famous designer Karl Ng in setting up the Batik corner to display Batik-style furniture.”

They added, “Malaysia’s furniture export ranks ninth worldwide and is favoured by many globally. Yet, not many local people know about this. There was a case where a man ordered a batch of furniture from abroad back to Malaysia, only to discover that they were local-made and he ended spending three times more for what he would have paid locally.”

To promote the local furniture industry and to make it trendy and appealing to the younger generation, the organizers also held a Batik-theme furniture design competition for students. The competition is divided into three categories – the living room, dining room and bedroom. Each category will have three winners and they will have a chance to re-create their designs and display them at next year’s show.

MF3 also received a strong support from the Malaysia Tourism Board, appearing in its official website, where it is being highlighted as one of the shopping events in Malaysia.

The MF3 home fair will start from August 4 to 10, 2011, 10am to 8pm at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. Admission is free. Visitors will get a mini designer Verber Panton Chair in black, white, blue or red, throughout the four days (first come first served). Visitors who have registered will automatically qualify to participate in the “Visit and Win’ campaign where they will stand a chance to win an iPhone4. CitiBank credit card users who spend RM500 and above will qualify for the ‘Buy and Win’ campaign where they can win up to RM60,000 in cash, in addition to receiving double bonus points.
