From production to consumption, CIFF Guangzhou 2026 offers a comprehensive vision of how design shapes contemporary life.
As global supply chains continue to evolve and the boundaries between production, design, and consumption become increasingly fluid, CIFF Guangzhou 2026 returns with a renewed vision for the furniture and interiors industry. Taking place at the Canton Fair Complex and PWTC Expo in Guangzhou across two phases—March 18–21 and March 28–31, 2026—the 57th edition of CIFF positions itself as a strategic platform for rethinking how design-driven industries operate at scale.
Guided by the theme “CONNECT · CREATE”, CIFF Guangzhou 2026 reinforces its role as a global meeting point where brands, designers, manufacturers, and buyers come together to explore new business models, strengthen international connections, and accelerate innovation across the entire furniture value chain.

CIFF Guangzhou 2026 – Highlights:
A comprehensive ecosystem for contemporary design
Rather than functioning as a single exhibition, CIFF Guangzhou is conceived as a multi-layered ecosystem spanning three major pillars: Home Furniture, Office & Commercial Space, and CIFM / interzum guangzhou. Together, they offer a holistic overview of how design, manufacturing, technology, and culture intersect to shape the future of living and working environments.
This integrated approach allows CIFF to address not only finished products, but also the processes, materials, and systems that underpin contemporary design and industrial production.

Home furniture: design leadership and global market vision
The Home Furniture Exhibition reaffirms CIFF’s ambition to act as an internationally oriented, design-driven sourcing platform. At its core, the CIFF · Contemporary Design Fair (40,000 sqm, Area A) brings together more than 60 commercial design brands, over 20 design studios, and 40 international firms. New participants such as Camerich, Neodko, Pablo, Dickson, and Yeswood reflect the growing maturity and diversity of China’s contemporary design landscape.
Alongside this, the Upholstered Furniture Exhibition spans 130,000 sqm across Areas A and B, hosting over 400 brands and showcasing a wide spectrum of lifestyle innovation. Highlights include the enhanced SOFA PLUS concept and the Smart Sleep Ecosystem (Hall 5.2), where intelligent mattresses, smart beds, sleep-monitoring systems, and multifunctional sofas illustrate how technology is reshaping domestic comfort.
The International Pavilion (30,000 sqm) further broadens the global outlook, while the Dining & Living sector gathers more than 800 enterprises from 150 Chinese industrial clusters, presenting solutions that respond to evolving living habits and cross-border commerce.

Home decor, textiles, and outdoor living
Expanding the narrative of contemporary living, the Homedecor & Hometextiles section hosts nearly 700 brands across 60,000 sqm in Area D. Here, aesthetics meet wellbeing, with growing attention to Healthy & Senior Living, the rapidly expanding Pet Home & Supplies sector, and new cultural expressions emerging through the East Design Show, which combines creativity, brand incubation, and commercial strategy.
Outdoor living is addressed through the Outdoor Furniture, Sunshade & Leisure exhibition (50,000 sqm), offering one of the most comprehensive overviews of integrated outdoor environments. New material applications, craftsmanship innovations, and global leisure trends are presented alongside curated displays and thematic forums.

Office & commercial space: designing intelligent environments
Covering more than 240,000 sqm, the Office & Commercial Space exhibition explores the future of workplaces and public interiors through the lenses of sustainability, ergonomics, and technology. From full office-environment supply chains to the world’s largest Office Seating platform, the exhibition highlights how user-centered design and intelligent systems are redefining professional and shared spaces.
CIFM / interzum guangzhou: the industrial engine
As CIFF’s industrial core, CIFM / interzum guangzhou (170,000 sqm) focuses on the technologies and materials driving next-generation manufacturing. Intelligent and flexible machinery, advanced materials for CMF innovation, and hardware solutions for integrated living environments underline the strategic importance of production know-how in shaping future design outcomes.
