Celebrating Emerging Malaysian Talent
Launched in 2010, the MIFF Furniture Design Competition (MIFF FDC) is Malaysia’s leading platform for discovering and nurturing young furniture designers.
Held annually in conjunction with the Malaysian International Furniture Fair (MIFF), it connects creativity with opportunity — giving emerging designers the stage to present original ideas to a global audience of manufacturers, buyers, and media.

The MIFF FDC CLUB brings the competition beyond the stage — building a bridge between designers and the industry.
