Saigon Wicker at HawaExpo 2026 marked an important opportunity to connect directly with international furniture buyers, present our outdoor furniture collections and discuss new sourcing, customization and OEM/ODM opportunities.
Held from March 4–7, 2026 at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City, HawaExpo brought together manufacturers, exporters, designers, sourcing teams and global buyers looking to explore Vietnam’s growing furniture manufacturing capabilities.
For Saigon Wicker, the exhibition was more than a product showcase. It was a place to listen to buyers, understand current market requirements and demonstrate how outdoor furniture can combine design, comfort, practical materials and reliable manufacturing for real commercial projects.
From outdoor dining and lounge collections to materials, cushions and customization, the conversations at HawaExpo reflected what many global buyers are looking for today: dependable quality, flexible development and a manufacturing partner that understands their market.
Saigon Wicker at HawaExpo 2026: 7 Key B2B Highlights
The exhibition created valuable opportunities to discuss products, materials, project requirements and future outdoor furniture programs with buyers from different markets.
1. Connecting with the Global Furniture Industry
HawaExpo 2026 provided a strong meeting point for Vietnam’s furniture manufacturing industry and international sourcing community.
The event brought manufacturers, exporters, material suppliers, designers and buyers together in one location, creating opportunities to discover new collections and discuss sourcing requirements directly with producers.
At Saigon Wicker at HawaExpo 2026, our team welcomed visitors looking for outdoor furniture for:
- Hotels and resorts
- Outdoor restaurants
- Cafés
- Rooftop spaces
- Villa gardens
- Poolside areas
- Retail furniture programs
- International export collections
These conversations gave our team valuable insight into what buyers currently prioritize: stable quality, flexible customization, suitable materials, reliable production and designs that can work across different outdoor environments.
More information about the exhibition is available from the official HawaExpo website.
2. Building Direct Connections with Buyers and Partners
Trade exhibitions remain valuable because they allow buyers and manufacturers to move beyond catalogues, emails and digital presentations.
At the booth, visitors were able to see furniture proportions, test seating comfort, review finishes and discuss product requirements directly with the Saigon Wicker team.
For B2B buyers, this direct interaction makes it easier to evaluate:
- Product construction
- Material combinations
- Frame finishes
- Weaving quality
- Cushion comfort
- Product scale
- Customization possibilities
The exhibition also created opportunities to reconnect with existing partners and discuss future collections, market requirements and project development.
3. Showcasing Outdoor Furniture for Real Projects
Outdoor furniture is not simply about filling an exterior space. It helps determine how people sit, relax, dine, communicate and experience the surrounding environment.
At Saigon Wicker at HawaExpo 2026, our product direction focused on furniture that can support real residential, hospitality and commercial requirements.
Collections and product categories discussed at the exhibition included:
- Outdoor dining sets
- Sofa sets
- Lounge collections
- Coffee sets
- Bar furniture
- Outdoor chairs
- Hospitality seating
Product development involves more than the final silhouette. Proportion, materials, comfort, surface finishes and long-term usability all contribute to whether the furniture is suitable for its intended environment.
Materials used across Saigon Wicker collections can include powder-coated aluminum, steel, outdoor rope, PP rattan, wood, outdoor fabrics and cushions.
4. Why Outdoor Furniture Season Requires Early Planning
One of the important conversations during HawaExpo 2026 was the need for buyers to prepare early for outdoor furniture season.
For retailers, wholesalers, furniture brands and hospitality projects, the outdoor season does not begin when finished products are required. It begins much earlier with product selection, material approval, sampling and production planning.
Early preparation can help buyers:
- Select suitable outdoor furniture collections
- Confirm materials and finishes
- Customize frame, rope and cushion colors
- Develop new products before the season begins
- Review samples before mass production
- Plan manufacturing capacity
- Prepare packaging and shipment schedules
- Reduce pressure during peak production periods
This is particularly important for OEM and ODM projects, where product development may require several stages of communication, sampling and technical adjustment.
Clear specifications at the beginning of a project can make the transition from development to production more efficient.
5. Outdoor Furniture for Hospitality and Commercial Spaces
Every outdoor space has a different purpose, and furniture should support how that space will actually be used.
A resort terrace may require a relaxed and premium atmosphere. A café patio needs practical seating that remains visually appealing. A rooftop bar may prioritize contemporary style, durability and efficient use of space.
A garden dining area may require warmer materials and a closer visual relationship with landscaping.
Saigon Wicker develops outdoor furniture for applications including:
- Hotel and resort outdoor areas
- Poolside lounges
- Garden dining spaces
- Rooftop bars
- Outdoor cafés
- Restaurants
- Villa patios
- Retail furniture collections
- Commercial outdoor projects
Different combinations of aluminum, rope, wicker, wood, fabrics and cushions allow furniture to be developed around the identity and practical requirements of each project.

6. OEM and ODM Support for Global Buyers
International furniture buyers often require more than standard catalogue products. Markets, retail concepts and hospitality projects may require different dimensions, colors, materials and product specifications.
During Saigon Wicker at HawaExpo 2026, customization and product development were important parts of many buyer discussions.
Depending on the project, OEM and ODM development may include adjustments to:
- Frame dimensions
- Frame colors and surface finishes
- Outdoor rope or PP rattan materials
- Weaving patterns
- Cushion fabrics
- Cushion thickness
- Tabletop materials
- Product configuration
- Packaging requirements
- Collection direction
Whether a buyer is developing a new dining collection, refreshing an existing sofa range or preparing furniture for a hospitality project, the development process should connect product design with manufacturing feasibility.

HawaExpo 2026 gave Saigon Wicker the opportunity to present products, meet new partners, reconnect with existing customers and exchange ideas about the future of outdoor furniture.
For us, a successful B2B relationship is not based only on one product or one order. It also depends on communication, consistency, responsibility and the ability to support changing market requirements over time.
As an outdoor furniture manufacturer in Vietnam, Saigon Wicker continues to focus on product development, material selection, quality control, customization and reliable manufacturing for international buyers.
