(NASDAQ:NVFY) ("Nova LifeStyle" or the "Company"), a U.S.-based, innovative designer, manufacturer and distributor of modern LifeStyle furniture, is pleased to announce that the Company has been selected as an exclusive supplier for the Vanke House Living Pavilion project.  The project is managed by China Vanke Co., Ltd.

Showcased at the Milan Expo 2015, Vanke presented its vision for a “Shi Tang” concept space, which is rooted in traditional social structures and focuses on the opportunity to live and socialize in a healthy and calming atmosphere. 

Nova LifeStyle President Tawny Lam commented, “Vanke is one of the leading real estate developers in China.  Partnering with Vanke validates our focus on developing new channels of distribution, particularly real estate developers.  We continue to benefit from our globalized operations, which allows the Company to leverage its North American and China sales channels simultaneously.  We believe that this will continue to help Nova LifeStyle drive revenue growth and global recognition going forward.” 

While this initial cooperation consists of a specific product (mattresses), Nova LifeStyle is working to expand its product line with Vanke in order to provide a complete home furnishing package for the project.
