Move over, meatballs—IKEA’s got a new claim to fame! 🇨🇳 At the seventh China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai, Cindy Ruan, IKEA China’s vice president, revealed how the brand’s China-born designs are winning hearts (and living rooms) worldwide. 🌍✨
\"Products designed and made here are now global bestsellers,\" Ruan said, highlighting China’s booming innovation scene. With 40,000 visitors flocking to IKEA’s CIIE stand last year—and 10,000 already this year—the expo has become a hotspot for real-time customer feedback. 🗣️📊
But it’s not just about sales. Ruan called CIIE a \"high-level dialogue hub\" for businesses to tap into industry trends. \"No other event in China gathers this much insight,\" she added. 🧠💼
From minimalist lamps to space-saving furniture, IKEA’s China-inspired creations prove that great design knows no borders. Who knew your next favorite shelf might have roots in Shanghai? 😉
