This exhibition aims to encourage new product development by local furniture small business owners and to promote the achievements of the Small Business Specialized Support Center and local small businesses to the public.

During the event, prototypes and collaborative products developed by Pocheon’s furniture small business owners will be displayed, and a product evaluation event with participation from both citizens and experts will also be held.

A total of 12 small business companies are participating in the exhibition, showcasing a variety of new products including dressing tables, solid wood and mother-of-pearl partitions, island home bars, folding tables, camping furniture, and paper storage boxes.

The product evaluation will combine citizen voting (50%) and expert assessment (50%), with criteria including functionality, design, quality, marketability, and creativity.

This is expected to promote the development of upgraded products that reflect consumer feedback.

Baek Younghyun, mayor of Pocheon, stated, "The furniture industry continues to evolve even in a changing market environment," and emphasized, "The creation of new value that brings together people and spaces, technology and emotion, is the hope of Pocheon's furniture industry." He added, "I hope this exhibition will serve as an opportunity for the stagnant furniture industry to take off once again."
