By The Furniture Times – Bringing Furniture Brands into Global Spotlight

KUALA LUMPUR — In the vibrant heart of Southeast Asia, a new landmark event for the furniture industry has emerged: the Malaysia Furniture & Furnishings Market (MFFM), held at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL). Designed to bridge global sourcing, manufacturing and retail channels, MFFM offers manufacturers, exporters, retailers, and online platforms a strategic gateway into Malaysia’s dynamic furniture ecosystem and the wider ASEAN region.

A Fresh Platform for Global Furniture Engagement

Launched with its inaugural edition in 2024, MFFM is quickly positioning itself as a key B2B furniture marketplace. The first event hosted around 50 exhibitors across 8,000 m² of floor space and attracted thousands of trade visitors including overseas buyers from more than 40 countries.
