THE 2012 edition of the Gulf International Exhibition for Interiors, Design and Furniture (Gulf Interiors 2012) will be held in Bahrain from April 24 to 26 next year.

To be held at the Bahrain Exhibition and Convention Centre, the show will feature companies from across the design and interiors sector, according to Bahrain-based Hilal Conferences & Exhibitions (HCE), the event’s organiser.

These include specialists in contract and residential furniture, interior design services and contracting, textiles and upholstery fabrics, beds and bedding, floorings and wall coverings, lighting, kitchens and bathrooms, art and accessories, ceramics, marble and granite, outdoor living, hospitality and office interiors.

Specialists from Bahrain, the Middle East and around the world are expected to participate. Building upon its highly successful 2010 debut, Gulf Interiors 2012 will feature, for the first time, a series of master classes for visitors including workshops and presentations from experts on topics such as colour co-ordination and fabric selection which are being introduced in response to strong consumer interest shown in the inaugural Gulf Interiors show.

HCE managing director Jubran Abdulrahman said: “The interiors sector is important from both a retail and wholesale perspective and attracts interest whatever the economic climate. Increased spending on hospitality and leisure projects in the Gulf, as well as the construction of new housing units in the region, affords ample opportunity for interiors-related businesses of all sizes to leverage the benefits of large investment programmes.”

HCE conference director Ahmed Suleiman added: “We understand that in the interiors business the consumer, as the end-use customer, accounts for a significant proportion of visitors attending Gulf Interiors.”

He continued: “With this in mind, we hope our newly-introduced master classes add a practical element to the show and enable visitors to become more knowledgeable buyers.”

HCE is part of Al Hilal Group, Bahrain’s premier publishing house.
