ITCCK President Andrea Verazzi Seals Landmark Partnerships with Archisketch and KOFA

In a landmark step for Korea–Italy industrial cooperation, the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Korea (ITCCK) proudly announces the signing of two separate Memoranda of Understanding on August 26; one with Archisketch, Korea's foremost AI-powered 3D interior and furniture-placement platform (3.8 million users), and one with the Korea Furniture Industry Association (KOFA), both aimed at deepening Korea–Italy cooperation in the furniture and design industries.

Both signing ceremonies took place at Archisketch's Seongsu office in Seoul, with ITCCK President Andrea Verazzi signing on behalf of the Chamber, alongside Lee Ju-sung, who signed both agreements; as CEO of Archisketch for the first MOU and as President of KOFA for the second.

With Archisketch, the partnership focuses on three pillars:

• Talent development and capability-building in 3D interior and design technology
• Joint market development and commercialization
• B2B exchange between Italian and Korean design and furniture companies

As a flagship outcome, Archisketch together with KOFA will join as an official partner of Italian Furniture & Design in Korea 2027, supporting Italian exhibitors with 3D digital product presentations for Korean buyers through pre-matched B2B meetings, while KOFA's parallel MOU with ITCCK establishes a framework to promote exchange and cooperation between the furniture and design industries of Korea and Italy, expanding opportunities for companies and institutions on both sides on a basis of equality, mutual respect, and mutual benefit. Together, the two agreements form a coordinated push: Archisketch supplies the digital/3D technology bridge, while KOFA brings ITCCK direct ties into Korea's organized furniture industry, positioning Italian furniture and design companies, long recognized as pillars of Italy's "3F" industries (Food, Fashion, Furniture), for deeper market access ahead of 2027.
