At the Korea International Furniture and Interior Fair (KOFURN) 2025 in Goyang City, Indonesia’s furniture industry secured potential transactions amounting to USD 3.07 million. Twelve Indonesian exporters showcased products combining sustainability, traditional craftsmanship, and minimalist modern designs—especially wooden and rattan furniture. Korean consumers showed strong interest in pieces that are multifunctional, compact, and with natural wood finishes, due to smaller living spaces.

Officials see this interest as a substantial opportunity. They note that many booth visitors were end consumers, reflecting broad public appeal and not just trade buyers. With the Indonesia-Korea Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) offering zero tariffs on furniture exports, the potential to increase market share is strong. The unique blend of clean, modern aesthetics with traditional design is seen as Indonesia’s competitive advantage in South Korea and across East Asia.
