The 11 producers of wood furniture, handicrafts and other art are displaying their wares in space in G-578 of the International Home Furnishings Center. In furniture, their latest designs cover important categories such as bedroom and casual dining.

The booth is sponsored by the Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency, also known as Vietrade. Helping promote the space this week are government officials including Dao Tran Nhan, minister of trade for the Vietnamese Embassy trade office; Bui Thi Thanh An, deputy director of the Vietrade office in Ho Chi Minh City; and Luong Quoc Binh of the Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency for the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

Dao said the 4,400-square-foot booth is a good venue for all the manufacturers to show product. While Vietrade has had a space here before, some of the manufacturers were spread out in different locations.

"This is a good way to show the best products from Vietnam," he said. "Customers can see both the quality and diversity of our products."
