What Is DAE

Design Meets Business.

DAE turns a fixed show window into an operating system for trade, content and buyer relationships.

DAE is not only a fixed exhibition window. It is a connected system for pre-show demand, immersive presentation, buyer matching, content distribution and post-show reporting.

Leaner ROI

Standardized participation and targeted buyer operations connect investment to real commercial leads.

Year-round

Offline peaks are extended by online showrooms, quarterly events and ongoing buyer communities.

Targeted

A media matrix reaches designers, owners, distributors, overseas buyers and KOLs.

Credible B2B

A broad designer, homeowner and city-channel network builds trust bridges for exhibitors.

Show Presence

A Global Edit of Design, Living, and Technology

The fair is organized around real use cases rather than isolated booth display.

Two halls organize commercial presentation and curatorial immersion through clear categories and scenario-led experiences.
