National Association of Interior Design R.O.C. (TIDE)

The **National Association of Interior Design R.O.C. (TIDE)** is a Taiwan-based professional association representing interior designers and related practitioners across the Republic of China (Taiwan).

Established to elevate the standards and visibility of the interior design profession, TIDE acts as a central platform connecting designers, suppliers, developers, and end-users through exhibitions, conferences, and industry promotion initiatives. Its membership base spans design studios, architectural firms, material suppliers, and allied trades, positioning the association at the intersection of design, construction, and building materials.

A core pillar of TIDE’s activities is the organization of the **Taiwan International Interior Design Expo**, the country’s first international expo dedicated specifically to interior design. Staged at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, the event brings together leading local and overseas brands in furniture, fixtures, finishes, smart living technologies, and interior materials, alongside design firms showcasing integrated project solutions.

By co-organizing the expo with major media and exhibition partners, TIDE leverages strong promotional channels to increase exhibitor exposure and attract professional buyers including developers, contractors, retailers, and institutional clients. Beyond the expo, TIDE contributes to industry development through design competitions, forums, and member networking activities that encourage innovation and cross-disciplinary collaboration.

While its primary focus is Taiwan, its international expo format and English-language communication indicate an increasing engagement with regional and global visitors and exhibitors. For companies targeting the Taiwanese interior design and construction market, partnering with TIDE events offers curated access to a specialized professional audience, brand-building opportunities, and insight into evolving design trends and regulatory expectations.
