The Furniture Bible – 2024 Edition
A new edition of the Belgian Furniture Bible, the basic tool for the collective promotion of our furniture sector at home and abroad, was published in early 2024. The individual presentations of the extensive range of manufacturers and brands, supplemented by eye-catching images of products and realisations, provide domestic and foreign buyers with a superb overview of what our manufacturers have to offer in the domain of furniture. This Furniture and Design Bible is being physically distributed through the international trade press, through mailings and at several national and international trade exhibitions and events. Further investments in additional digital promotion are also being made year after year.
