Set to run a day earlier from September 7 to 10 at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition Convention Center (SWEECC), Maison Shanghai will consist of a new structure featuring four themed halls tailored to explore decoration aesthetics and innovative design. Through its offerings, the event aims to enhance commercial and creative synergies among designers, hospitality professionals, and product suppliers. The unification of both shows enriches the overall experience, allowing for seamless transitions between product sourcing, design inspiration, and market insight.
