IMAGINE
RESTING on an imported leather recliner, switching on the light
using a remote control and relishing the onyx cup from Pakistan.
Well, a trip to the Inside Outside Mega Show at the Padmavati
Ammal Cultural Centre in Coimbatore can make this a reality.
Sixth year
For the sixth consecutive year, the fair has come to Coimbatore
and is on till July 16. With 50 companies and about 90 stalls,
it has a range of exhibits related to construction sector - building
materials, kitchen accessories, modular kitchen, artificial grass,
paintings and furniture.
The new models of kitchen shelves seem to attract the young and
the old as they are easy to handle and can hold a wide range of
containers.
The Kremot remote control switches for lights and fans have panels
that can have up to maximum eight light switches, two fan switches
(with a digital regulator) and a socket too. The remote can be
used even 45 to 65 feet from the switchboard.
Imported leather recliners from the U.S. are an attraction at
the fair. The Lazboy recliners have been introduced in this textile
city through the fair, and can be modified to customer needs.
With artistic carvings, onyx stone flower vases, cups, candle
stands and tables imported from Pakistan catch the visitor's eyes.
Not to be missed are the curtain poles, Tanjore paintings, pre-fabricated
steel structures for commercial and industrial buildings, security
solutions, solar heaters, carved doors, and even home linen and
wall hangings for children.
Love for art
The fair, organised by Inside Outside (interior design magazine)
and Business India Exhibitions, is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
The Assistant Manager - Operations and Sales of Business India
Exhibitions, M. Natarajan, says that Coimbatore is a market place
for the entire Kongu belt (Tirupur, Erode, Salem and the Nilgiris)
and Kerala. People in this region have a love for art and creativity,
and even high-end products have a market here.
