The Italian Trade Agency’s immersive apartment at CIIE shows a complete living space furnished with Italian brands. It is a practical way to judge quality, layout, and style before you commit to buying or renting in China.
Before You Go
Check the CIIE visitor registration process on the official expo website. You will need a valid passport and a visitor badge, which is issued after your registration is approved. Plan your visit for a weekday if possible, as weekend crowds are heavier. Allow enough time to walk through the apartment slowly and take notes.
At the Exhibition
Locate the Italian Trade Agency pavilion using the expo floor plan. The apartment is usually a walk-through display, not a sales booth, so you can enter freely. Look at the materials, storage, and lighting. Ask the staff about the brands and whether any items are available for purchase in China after the expo.
After Your Visit
Collect brochures or scan QR codes for product lists. Save the contact details of the Italian Trade Agency office in China for follow-up questions. Use what you saw to compare with local furniture stores. The apartment is a reference for quality, not a price guide.
