‘Modern designs, trends crucial for furniture industry’
LAHORE, Mar 17 (APP):Modern designing and new trends in the furniture industry are essential for gaining a competitive edge, driving sales and profitability, enhancing brand image, embracing sustainability, leveraging technology, and expanding into international markets.
Pakistan Furniture Council (PFC) Chief Executive Officer Mian Kashif Ashfaq stated
this while talking to a delegation of women entrepreneurs and furniture manufacturers
led by Ms Nida Ejaz here on Sunday. He added that modern designing and new trends
play a crucial role in the furniture industry. By embracing these trends, he said, the furniture manufacturers can thrive in a dynamic and evolving industry.
“Modern furniture designs often incorporate technological advancements to provide
enhanced functionality and convenience. Integration of features like smart furniture,
wireless charging, and IT connectivity can make furniture more appealing to tech-savvy
buyers,” he observed. The PFC chief was of the view that keeping up with new design trends allows manufacturers to leverage technological innovations and offer products that align with the digital age.
He said latest design trends often emphasize sustainable and eco-friendly materials
and manufacturing processes. With growing environmental awareness, customers are increasingly seeking furniture that is produced responsibly. By incorporating eco-friendly practices into their designs, furniture manufacturers can attract environmentally conscious consumers and contribute to a greener future, he added. Mian Kashif said that by staying updated with the latest design trends, furniture manufacturers
can create products that resonate with buyers choice, leading to an increased sales and
customer satisfaction. Furniture is a global industry, and design trends vary across different regions and cultures. By staying updated on international design trends, furniture manufacturers can expand their market reach and cater to diverse customer preferences worldwide. He said this adaptability to global trends allows companies to enter the new markets and increase their export potential.
Pakistan embassy in Riyadh joins Green Initiative
RIYADH, Mar 17 (APP): The Pakistan embassy in Riyadh recently organized a plantation drive in Thadiq National Park, 120 kilometres northwest of the capital. Embassy officers and staff, as well as their families, planted more than 100 saplings to contribute to the Kingdom’s efforts in protecting its environment.

The campaign, led by Pakistan’s Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Ahmad Farooq, was organized in collaboration with the Kingdom’s National Center for Vegetation Cover Development.Students from the Pakistan International School Riyadh and Pakistan International School English Section Riyadh also took part in the plantation drive.
Saudi Arabia has taken major strides in adopting environmentally friendly measures through its Middle East Green Initiative, a regional effort to mitigate the impact of climate change in the region, and the Saudi Green Initiative, which aims to reduce emissions and increase afforestation.

The embassy said that its endeavor not only underscored Pakistan’s “unwavering commitment” to environmental preservation but also testified to Pakistan’s solidarity with the Saudi and Middle East green initiatives, spearheaded by the Kingdom.
“Pakistan, recognizing the imperative of collective action in addressing environmental challenges, stands in solidarity with its Saudi counterparts in championing sustainable practices and fostering green technologies,” the embassy added.
The embassy’s plantation drive serves as a testament to this shared ethos, reinforcing the bonds of friendship and collaboration that unite the two nations.
