From September 25–27, 2025, FDI turns Istanbul Expo Center into the beating heart of design with furniture, bold ideas, and sustainable solutions
Furnishings & Design Istanbul (FDI) returns for its second edition from September 25–27, 2025, at Istanbul Expo Center. Organized by the Federation of Furniture Associations (MOSFED), the fair gathers all components of the design ecosystem: from furniture and lighting to home textiles and decorative accessories. As the only design fair in Türkiye and neighboring countries, FDI connects brands, architects, interior designers, and international decision-makers.
Good Possibilities: the 2025 theme
After welcoming professionals from 26 countries last year, FDI embraces the theme “Good Possibilities” for 2025. Striking stands, curated exhibitions, immersive experience zones, and B2B and D2B meetings define a fair designed to foster lasting collaborations and create new synergies.
A vision bridging culture and the future
MOSFED President Ahmet Güleç emphasizes the mission of FDI: to build a sector where design stands at the core, speaking to the world while drawing strength from the region’s rich cultural heritage. The fair showcases not only products but also values, visions, and a clear direction for the industry’s future.
Sustainability at the heart of production
Sustainability takes center stage at FDI. Eco-design and circular economy no longer represent aspirations but essential practices. According to Güleç, interior designers and creative professionals play a key role in driving this transformation, where quality production and environmental responsibility work hand in hand.
A strong design committee
The fair’s curatorial approach is led by the Design Committee and Advisory Board, chaired by Prof. Dr. Alpay Er. Members include architects, designers, and creative leaders such as Ahmet Raşit Karaaslan, Aynur Yılmaz, Cem Cemal Çobanoğlu, Ece Yalım, Erdem Akan, and Şule Koç. Originality and designer collaboration guide the selection of brands and products presented at FDI.
Networking and new opportunities
With a 10,000 m² exhibition area and a strategic setup, FDI hosts international buyers, brands, and high-level decision-makers. The FDI New Horizon Exhibition, Design Circle, and FDI Stage & Talks offer a dynamic platform for encounters and knowledge exchange. Special showcases celebrating 50 years of selected brands enrich the fair’s architectural layout, making it a must-attend event for the entire interior design ecosystem.
