i) Compared with FY 2009, <strong>the</strong> total number <strong>of</strong> business meetings for 3<br />

days increased by 150% <strong>and</strong> estimated sales almost doubled, although<br />

<strong>the</strong> total number <strong>of</strong> visitors to <strong>the</strong> interiorlifestyle had decreased.<br />

Fur<strong>the</strong>r expansion <strong>of</strong> business between <strong>the</strong> ASEAN Member Countries<br />

<strong>and</strong> Japan in interiorlifestyle products would be expected.<br />

ii) ASEAN Pavilion was highlighted by two special settings. One was a<br />

showcase <strong>of</strong> products selected from all ASEAN exhibitors to feature <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong>me, “ASEAN Style” / New & Natural. The o<strong>the</strong>r was a showcase <strong>of</strong><br />

developed products from “Design & Product Development Workshop<br />

held in Cambodia <strong>and</strong> Lao P.D.R”.<br />

iii) Among all items on display, Crystal Lamp <strong>of</strong> Moise Inc. Pte. Ltd. from<br />

Singapore had drawn <strong>the</strong> most attention from <strong>the</strong> Japanese buyers.<br />

iv) After <strong>the</strong> show in June, Orange River Co., Ltd.<br />

from Cambodia established a new br<strong>and</strong> in<br />

November 2010. The company collaborated<br />

with a Japanese buyer to launch a new br<strong>and</strong>,<br />

“Sola Silk”, at <strong>the</strong> IFFT/interiorlifestyle Living,<br />

Tokyo held in November 19-22, 2010.<br />

Most <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> products from Sola Silk were also <strong>the</strong> result <strong>of</strong> “Design & Product<br />

Development Workshop in Cambodia”, under <strong>the</strong> Market Access Support Program<br />

could develop suitable products for <strong>the</strong> Japanese Market.<br />
