Speaking at the reception, show organiser Mark Gannon said: "Over the past two years we were given the opportunity to focus on our business a unique amount of time to create and develop. It is obvious this time was well spent, with all exhibitors bringing new, on-trend products to the Irish market.
"Year on year, visitors attending the IFHS expect to see the very best design and innovation in the marketplace, and with over 100 entries for the awards there was certainly a lot to see."
