BAFCO Announces Exclusive UAE Agent for Kano Office Furniture
Dubai’s leading office furniture importer and manufacturer BAFCO recently joined forces with pioneering furniture giant Kano, establishing an exclusive new partnership between BAFCO and Kano in the UAE.
BAFCO, one of the UAE’s premier office furniture firms, and leading Chinese furniture brand Kano are celebrating their partnership with the global launch of a high-tech chair part of a new collection designed by award-winning Italian architect Claudio Bellini.
Kano dealers from all over the world are gathering in Dubai (29/09/22) for the official unveiling of the Norman chair. The new product will be revealed in the presence of Claudio Bellini, Creative Director – Kano, at the newly renovated BAFCO showroom, where over 1,000 square meters of space are dedicated to the Kano office furniture collection.
Xuedong Ding, President and Founder of the leading firm that has set new benchmarks for ‘Made in China’ furniture, will attend the world debut, where he will also inaugurate the new showroom.
“For the past ten years, BAFCO has been tracking the rise of Kano, a world-class furniture manufacturer. We are extremely proud to now have a special relationship with Kano and we are looking forward to establishing the brand in the UAE, supported by BAFCO’s renowned service. My personal relationship with the Chinese goes back decades; many years ago, I realized that they were making considerable strides forward in furniture manufacturing, and I had no doubt that I wanted to be associated with it. There is no doubt that the Chinese manufacturers have succeeded in manufacturing, well made, well designed, quality furnishings at affordable prices. They have played their cards right and the world is taking notice. Now that Chinese manufacturers like Kano collaborate with leading international experts such as Claudio Bellini and Maurizio Burrato, this has taken the design, quality and finish of their furniture to a level that is equal to their US and European competitors. Today, the Chinese are involved in major projects from railroads and airports to the furnishing of interiors in all parts of the world, including the UAE.”
– Khosrow Fattahi, CEO and Founder of BAFCO
