MLily, a well-known home brand held a "wedding season" product launch on a glass bridge at the mall.
The unique location and fashion-tech products attracted many visitors and young couples.
An Iranian handmade carpet brand also gained popularity for its natural materials, complex craftsmanship, and beautiful designs.
Traditional large exhibitions often overwhelmed consumers. In contrast, such micro-expo allow for a more focused and engaging experience, said Cong Guoliang, secretary general of the Shanghai Interior Decoration Industry Association.
As a highlight, the Canadian luxury brand ALDO launched its first flagship store in China at the Global Harbor during the event.
The expo aimed to present global lifestyle trends and the best products and services to consumers, enhancing brand cooperation and interaction, said Ding Zuohong, the president of Yuexing Group, the organizer of the event.
