From March 18–21 and March 28–31, 2026, the 57th edition of CIFF Guangzhou returns with a strategic and forward-looking theme CONNECT·CREATE, positioning itself not only as a global furniture exhibition, but as an integrated platform where production and consumption, design and manufacturing, technology and culture converge to redefine the future of the industry.

As global supply chains recalibrate and consumer expectations evolve at unprecedented speed, CIFF Guangzhou strengthens its role as a central meeting point for brands, designers, manufacturers and international buyers. The fair has long been recognized as one of the most comprehensive furniture events worldwide, but in 2026 it takes a decisive step further, transforming into a cohesive ecosystem designed to connect every stage of the value chain.

Building on the strategic direction introduced with CONNECT·CREATE, the 57th edition presents a curated preview of the ideas and innovations shaping tomorrow’s markets. Through its three major exhibitions: Home Furniture, Office & Commercial Space, and CIFM/interzum guangzhou, CIFF articulates a unified vision in which design excellence, technological progress, industrial efficiency and commercial opportunity are seamlessly integrated.
