MUMBAI, October 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Index Exhibition to Feature a
"Gold-leafed Classic Fiat car"
UBM Index Tradefairs Pvt. Ltd., is proud to introduce the
23rd edition of Index Tradefairs & Events,
18th - 21st October, 2012 at Bandra Kurla
Complex, Mumbai.
"Made in India . . . for the
world," is the tagline of Index Tradefairs, and their flagship
event, which begins this week at the Bandra Kurla Complex,
Mumbai is seen by many as the
annual meeting place of the Indian interior and furniture design
community. The event features strong international participation
with exhibitors and pavilions for Europe and from across Asia. Last year's event attracted 25,000 plus
visitors and it is expected that this year will be at least as well
attended.
The event was launched 23 years ago by husband and wife team
Li and Sylvia Khan as a niche event
for the design-led interiors community. Over the years, the event
has become globally recognised and has grown into a full scale
exhibition that is attended and supported by a number of key
developers and builders as well as the interior design and
architect fraternity.
A special feature at this year's show will be a Gold-leafing
Showcase, where a Classic 1960s' Fiat covered in gold leafing
artwork will be displayed for all to see. In addition, and
not-to-be-missed will be the Kudos Gallery which is a tribute to
Indian architectural design.
