The 57th edition reinvigorates the vision of the world’s largest furniture fair, taking place from March 18–21 and 28–31, 2026, with a focus on connections, innovation, and new business models
CIFF Guangzhou 2026 takes place amid a period of profound transformation in the global furniture industry. New consumer behaviors, shifts in trade dynamics, accelerated digitalization, and a growing demand for smarter, more sustainable living solutions are redefining the way furniture is designed, produced, and distributed worldwide.
In this context, the new theme CONNECT · CREATE emerges—not merely as a slogan, but as a strategic direction to interpret change and turn global challenges into tangible opportunities.
The numbers that confirm CIFF’s strategic role
The success of CIFF Guangzhou 2025 laid the foundation for the evolution of the 2026 edition. Over 4,900 exhibitors and 363,000 professional visitors from 187 countries, with a +10.91% growth in international visitors, confirmed China’s central role in the global furniture landscape.
In this context, CIFF Guangzhou 2026 strengthens its role not only as an international marketplace but also as a platform for vision, innovation, and acceleration for the entire furniture sector.
CONNECT: a platform that unites markets and visions
CONNECT represents the essence of CIFF Guangzhou 2026 as a meeting point for people, ideas, products, and information. International interest in China as a hub for competitive, reliable, and innovation-driven solutions continues to grow.
At the same time, purchasing and design practices are evolving: virtual reality for home design, social commerce, omnichannel strategies, and customization are driving the sector toward more flexible, sustainable, and adaptive models.
CIFF Guangzhou 2026 thus positions itself as a prime space where manufacturers, designers, distributors, and e-commerce platforms can foster new collaborations and build more resilient supply chains.
CREATE: innovation as the driving force of change
While CONNECT defines the network, CREATE embodies the creative energy that drives the future of furniture. Innovation means rethinking design, enhancing sustainability, integrating smart technologies, and responding to the evolving needs of living and working spaces.
CIFF Guangzhou 2026 supports this process by encouraging companies to turn global trends into competitive strategies. Smart manufacturing, digital transformation, and new approaches to retail and internationalization become core pillars for the business of the future.
A new visual identity for a new vision
The 2026 edition introduces a new visual identity that reinterprets CIFF’s iconic hexagon into a fluid, unified form, integrating the letters “C–I–F–F” into a dynamic and contemporary structure.
The liquid metallic texture conveys transformation and constant movement, while the deep blue palette evokes openness, solidity, and inclusivity. This aesthetic aligns with the values of CIFF Guangzhou 2026: building a global ecosystem focused on innovation and the future.
An even more immersive exhibition experience
Spanning 850,000 square meters, CIFF Guangzhou 2026 strengthens its structure through three major exhibition ambitions, offering a comprehensive vision of living, working, and producing:
Home Furniture Exhibition – Phase 1 (March 18–21, 2026)
