CIFF Shanghai | Three Opportunities Defining the Future Workplace
CIFF Shanghai | Three Opportunities Defining the Future Workplace
CIFF Shanghai | Three Opportunities Defining the Future Workplace The office furniture industry is undergoing a profound transformation. Global expansion is entering a new phase, workplace design is breaking traditional boundaries, and user expectations are shifting toward well-being and experience. As these three trends converge, the industry is seeking new ways to respond. The CIFF Shanghai Offices & Public Spaces Exhibition in Hall 6.1 addresses these changes through three practical approaches, offering actionable solutions across global expansion, exhibition concepts, and workplace applications. More than a showcase for office furniture, it serves as a platform for reimagining the future of work, a lifestyle destination for modern workplaces, and an international stage connecting global design and creativity. Here, the next chapter of workplace innovation begins. 01. Three Trends Reshaping the Office Industry Today's workplace is being reshaped on every level: global expansion is entering a new phase, workplace design is breaking traditional boundaries, and user expectations are shifting toward well-being and experience. Global expansion is entering a new phase. As Chinese office furniture brands expand globally, they have moved beyond competing on price and manufacturing alone. Increasingly, they are winning international markets through original design, integrated workplace solutions, and people-centered thinking, marking the transition from manufacturing excellence to design-led branding. Workplace design is breaking traditional boundaries. At the same time, flexible and hybrid working have become the new standard. Assigned desks are no longer the default, and workplaces are evolving beyond their traditional role. A single space is now expected to support focused work, collaboration, social interaction, relaxation, and learning, fundamentally redefining the modern office. User expectations are shifting toward well-being and experience. The way people select office furniture and plan workplaces is changing as well. Durability and functionality are no longer the only priorities. Health and well-being, emotional comfort, aesthetics, and user experience have become essential considerations, as workplaces evolve from places to work into environments that support a better quality of working life. 从"制造出海"到"设计出海、品牌落地",中国办公品牌以原创设计、完整空间方案、人文理念打动全球市场。 灵活办公、混合办公成为主流,一室承载协作、独处、社交、休闲、学习等多种状态。 02. Solution 1: Global Expansion As the largest exhibition of its kind in East China, the CIFF Shanghai Offices & Public Spaces Exhibition has built a distinctive platform by bringing together leading brands, original design, advanced technologies, and international resources. Driven by the growing adoption of intelligent technologies, Chinese office furniture brands are accelerating their global expansion. The exhibition brings together height-adjustable systems, steel office furniture, and office accessories—high-demand product categories for international markets—showcasing products that combine thoughtful design with practical functionality. Exhibitors present not only their flagship product lines but also their original design philosophies and integrated workplace solutions, demonstrating the industry's evolution from product exports to brand value creation while creating new opportunities to connect with global buyers. The G1 Series from Glofurn exemplifies the shift in office seating from requiring people to adapt to the chair to designing chairs that adapt to people. Featuring an adjustable backrest, multi-directional lumbar support, 360° articulated armrests, and an automatically adapting headrest, every component is designed for precise adjustment to accommodate different body types, sitting postures, and user preferences. The result is a personalized seating experience that enables a single product platform to meet the diverse needs of global markets. 智能升降、钢制办公、办公配件等海外热门品类集中呈现,兼具设计感与实用性。 从主力产品线到原创设计理念,再到一体化空间解决方案——从单品输出升级为品牌价值输出。 03. Solution 2: Exhibition Concepts As workplaces evolve, so do the needs of the people who use them. Traditional office planning once emphasized uniform layouts and standardized workstations. Today, a single workspace must accommodate focused work, team collaboration, informal discussions, business meetings, and social interaction. Responding to the growing demand for more flexible and multifunctional workplaces, the CIFF Shanghai Offices & Public Spaces Exhibition moves beyond conventional product displays. Centered on office seating, it combines furniture with fully designed workplace settings to demonstrate how products perform across a wide range of real-world office environments. Leading office seating brands, including UE, Henglin, JE, Furicco, and Glofurn, will present ergonomic chairs, lounge seating, and multifunctional office chairs within fully integrated workplace settings, demonstrating how furniture supports today's flexible and evolving work environments. An office chair can move beyond the dullness of the workplace and bring greater comfort, style and enjoyment to the workday. The Furicco FK023 draws inspiration from the timeless aesthetics of premium automotive interiors, combining elegant lines with refined craftsmanship. Upholstered in exclusive MASTOTO genuine leather and high-density molded foam, it features a cable-controlled mechanism and precision gas lift for smooth, responsive adjustment. Its distinctive design breaks away from conventional workstation aesthetics, making every seating experience feel composed, comfortable and refined. 以办公坐具为核心,搭配完整空间场景做一体化展陈——直观呈现家具在多元办公场景中的落地效果。 富凯 FK023 以顶级座驾的经典美学,让办公椅跳出沉闷的工位逻辑。 04. Solution 3: Workplace Applications Today, functionality alone is no longer the defining measure of office furniture. Flexibility, well-being, emotional comfort, and aesthetic appeal have emerged as the new priorities, reflecting a broader shift from asking people to adapt to the workplace to designing workplaces around people. Aligned with the growing trend of bringing lifestyle into the workplace, the CIFF Shanghai Offices & Public Spaces Exhibition showcases brands that are moving beyond the traditional furniture sales model. Through products centered on workplace wellness, user comfort, and design aesthetics, exhibitors are responding to the evolving needs of today's professionals while unlocking new opportunities in the premium office furniture market. Long hours at the desk often come with lower back pain and fatigue. The UE RC-1161-E features the proprietary Taiji™ Dynamic Lumbar Support System, where a 6° micro-motion mechanism follows the body's natural movement to encourage healthier spinal alignment and help reduce lower back strain. Equally innovative is the Magic™ Multi-Function Armrest, which instantly transforms into a concealed tabletop. Whether supporting a laptop during meetings or holding a tablet during breaks, it enables a seamless transition between work and relaxation. An office chair doesn't have to conform to convention. Designed to support 12 sitting postures, the Pure Faith P7-SWING combines contemporary styling with thoughtful ergonomic design. Its 8 cm height adjustment accommodates users of different heights, allowing both feet to rest comfortably on the floor. Together with its flexible adjustment features, the chair adapts effortlessly to focused work, relaxed sitting, or reclining, creating workspaces that are healthier, more comfortable, and more inspiring. 永艺 RC-1161-E:太极随动撑腰 + 百变桌案扶手,办公与休闲的切换只在一瞬之间。 纯信 P7-SWING:12 种坐姿 × 8cm 升降,从端坐到斜靠随心所欲。 The CIFF Shanghai Offices & Public Spaces Exhibition brings together professionals from across the entire commercial workplace ecosystem, complemented by a comprehensive program of industry events. Leading workplace designers, design studios, and professional organizations from around the world will gather for the Commercial Environment Salon Exhibition and a series of design forums, creating a platform for professional exchange where innovative ideas and international design perspectives converge. Featuring nearly 200 exhibitors across office seating, workplace systems, and office accessories, the exhibition also extends into hospitality, education, and other commercial environments. Dedicated distributor networking events will take place throughout the show, creating valuable opportunities for brands and distributors to connect, build partnerships, and explore new business opportunities. Leveraging CIFF Shanghai's extensive international network, the exhibition will also offer an exclusive one-to-one overseas buyer matchmaking program, connecting global buyers, distributors, and brands through precisely matched business meetings that foster long-term international partnerships.

CIFF Shanghai | The Next Step in Furniture Manufacturing Starts at the WMF
CIFF Shanghai | The Next Step in Furniture Manufacturing Starts at the WMF
CIFF Shanghai | The Next Step in Furniture Manufacturing Starts at the WMF What really happens when a great design enters the factory? Freer curves require new solutions for sanding, veneering, edge banding and finishing. A wider range of materials calls for close coordination across machinery, processes, adhesives, hardware and surface treatments. Faster delivery means factories must not only make products, but also ensure stable, precise and repeatable production. Over the past 40 years, the furniture industry has evolved from mass production to flexible customization, from standalone machines to integrated production lines, and from experience-based manufacturing to data-driven production. Today, while CIFF Shanghai connects design with brands, distribution channels and lifestyles, the CIFF Shanghai Woodworking Machinery Fair turns the spotlight on manufacturing, continuing to explore a more fundamental question: How can great design become a great product? This year, CIFF Shanghai and WMF will jointly launch the Design Challenges · Technology Solutions series. Centered on the real needs of furniture brands and designers, the series explores the key challenges in turning ideas into products, from creative concepts and design expression to material application and manufacturing. 01、From Concept to Production As furniture products evolve toward more complex curves, finer edge banding, richer material combinations and increasingly sophisticated bespoke craftsmanship, the real challenge often lies in bridging the gap between design intent and manufacturability, and between manufacturability and consistent mass production. Left: Deng Xin, founder of CARBINE aesthetic home brand. Right: Zhao Wangke, Standing Deputy General Manager of CIFF Shanghai. The two sides exchanged views on the manufacturing challenges of bidirectional bending of 1 mm thick wood veneer and the implementation of high-end furniture production. CARBINE raises one such challenge: the bidirectional bending of wood veneer approximately 1 mm thick. When thick veneer is applied to curved structures, how can manufacturers strike a new balance between aesthetics, weight, cost and production stability? HC28 Maison, meanwhile, turns the focus to craftsmanship. As shaped solid wood, three-dimensional wood veneers, shaped upholstery and lacquer finishes become increasingly sophisticated, who will carry these techniques forward? And how can five-axis machining, AI-assisted programming and craftsmanship work together to preserve and advance them? These are among the defining questions driving the next stage of furniture manufacturing. HC28 Maison turns the focus to craftsmanship: as shaped solid wood, three-dimensional wood veneers, shaped upholstery and lacquer finishes become increasingly sophisticated, who will carry these techniques forward? From bending a single piece of veneer and running an edge-banding line, to coordinating an entire production process, Design Challenges · Technology Solutions brings real design-side questions back to the manufacturing floor. 02、An Industry Dialogue Around Manufacturing Design Challenges · Technology Solutions is not a one-way showcase, but an industry dialogue rooted in manufacturing. Throughout the series, furniture brands including CARBINE, HC28 Maison, NEODKO, MEXTRA, KBH and CHIC CASA will share practical insights from product development, material application, craftsmanship, quality control and manufacturing efficiency. The series will also feature leading machinery and technology companies, including KDT, Nanxing Machinery, Cefla, Vario, Qianchuan, Supai and Hengye. Covering topics such as integrated smart production lines, full-servo edge banding, profile finishing, wood veneer lamination, profile sanding, five-axis machining, flexible manufacturing, digital factories and intelligent quilting, it highlights how furniture manufacturing technologies are evolving. By bringing together CIFF Shanghai and WMF, the initiative connects design, brands, materials, machinery and manufacturing systems within one integrated industry platform, jointly exploring the next step from inspiration to mass production, and from design vision to manufacturing capability. 03、The Smart Balance of Manufacturing In the past, wood machinery exhibitions were about choosing the right machines. Today, furniture manufacturers are focused on greater flexibility, more consistent processes, and bringing new products from design to delivery with fewer rounds of trial and error. In 2026, CIFF Shanghai WMF will continue under the theme of The Smart Balance of Manufacturing, focusing on the key stages of furniture production. The exhibition will showcase integrated panel furniture production lines, precision solid wood manufacturing, upholstered furniture production, profile edge banding, surface finishing, wood-based panel and plywood production, CNC machining, automated sorting, digital manufacturing software, tooling and accessories, and material applications. Across Halls 7.1 and 8.1, visitors will see more than machinery on display. They will experience a complete manufacturing workflow, from cutting, drilling, edge banding and sanding to finishing, veneering, assembly, inspection and integrated production lines. They will also see the industry move from standalone machines to integrated solutions combining machinery, materials and components, and from improving manufacturing efficiency to enabling design for production. Selected exhibitors and key participating brands include: Homag China, KDT, Nanxing Machinery, Fida, Hua-Hua, Supai, Shunde Yongqiang, Yuetong, Fuhao, Haode, Jiangjia, Baji, Qingcheng, Lianrou, Huajian, Hengye, Makino, Jiyuan, Qianchuan, Canga, Witt Power, Weili, Xinghui CNC, Dima, Hongma CNC, Jifeiya… *The exhibitor lineup will continue to be updated and is subject to the official announcement. 04、From Being Seen to Being Understood As Chinese furniture brands expand globally, competitiveness is no longer defined by price alone. Design capability, delivery performance, production consistency and integrated manufacturing capabilities are becoming key criteria for international buyers when evaluating suppliers. This is also bringing furniture production equipment and woodworking machinery into sharper focus. Every improvement in quality, every breakthrough in craftsmanship and every gain in efficiency relies on the combined support of machinery, materials, software and manufacturing systems. CIFF Shanghai WMF will continue to strengthen its international outreach through targeted buyer invitations, overseas buyer delegations, business matchmaking, online exhibitor showcases and multilingual communications. The exhibition will focus on connecting with key furniture manufacturing and woodworking markets across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Central Asia, Russia and neighboring regions, and South America. It will help professional buyers discover exhibitors before the show, understand solutions on site, and continue building business relationships after the event. CIFF Shanghai focuses on design value, brand development and channel connections, building a comprehensive trade platform across the furniture industry. WMF complements this by connecting machinery, materials, components, software and manufacturing solutions. One focuses on design and the market. The other focuses on manufacturing and delivery. Together at Shanghai Hongqiao, they bring every stage of the furniture value chain together, from inspiration, design, sourcing and distribution to manufacturing, craftsmanship and supply chains, creating a more connected industry ecosystem. 5–8 September 2026 National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai Hongqiao) Ideas are ready. Smart manufacturing is ready.

CIFF Shanghai | As Living Spaces Evolve, So Does the Living & Dining Furniture Business
CIFF Shanghai | As Living Spaces Evolve, So Does the Living & Dining Furniture Business
CIFF Shanghai | As Living Spaces Evolve, So Does the Living & Dining Furniture Business People are rethinking what home means. In the past, the division was clear: the living room was for entertaining, and the dining room was for dining. Today, the same space may need to accommodate work, meals, social gatherings, family time, and moments of solitude. As lifestyles evolve, the way we use space is changing—and the living and dining furniture industry is evolving with it. For Chinese furniture brands, competitiveness is no longer defined solely by value for money. Increasingly, it is about delivering complete lifestyle and space solutions tailored to the needs of modern living. Located at the heart of the home, the Living & Dining Furniture sector in Hall 5.1 at CIFF Shanghai serves as a gateway connecting Chinese furniture brands with global markets. It is where product innovation, scenario-based design, domestic market breakthroughs, and international expansion come together—where brands are discovered, connected, and amplified. 01. When "Home" Becomes a Lifestyle Traditionally, furniture purchases followed a fixed formula: a dining table with four chairs, a sofa paired with a coffee table and television. Today, consumers are looking for something more. Buying furniture is increasingly about investing in a lifestyle rather than simply furnishing a space. Functionality remains important, but flexibility, emotional value, and personal expression have become equally influential. Conventional room boundaries are giving way to more fluid living arrangements, while open-plan concepts and integrated living-dining-kitchen layouts continue to gain popularity. At the same time, modular systems and multifunctional furniture are becoming the new standard. A dining table may serve as a workstation during the day, a creative space for children, and the centerpiece of a gathering in the evening. A sofa is no longer designed solely for formal seating—it has become a place to relax, unwind, and adapt to different moments throughout the day. As functions multiply while living spaces remain the same size, furniture must become smarter. Ultimately, the brands that best understand how people live, interact, and connect within today's homes will be the ones that shape the future of the industry. Tony Furn's Ideal Cabinet, Mobile Storage Cabinet, and Rotating Magazine Cabinet reinterpret classic designs through a contemporary lens. Featuring vibrant pastel color palettes, tambour-door privacy solutions, and flexible caster-based mobility, the collection strikes a balance between refined living and everyday functionality. Meanwhile, Senkairui offers its own answer to the question, "What can a dining table be?" Its modern luxury dining table features a generous 2.2-meter tabletop that seamlessly accommodates both dining and meetings. Soft rounded edges and a matte finish create a warm, tactile experience, proving that elegance and practicality no longer need to be mutually exclusive. 02. From OEM to Chinese Brands on the Global Stage For years, overseas buyers associated Chinese living and dining furniture exports with affordability, OEM manufacturing, and mass-market products. Today, however, a growing number of international households are actively choosing Chinese brands. What has driven this shift in consumer perception? The answer lies in the changing role of furniture itself. Living and dining furniture is no longer simply about furnishing a space—it supports specific lifestyles, from working and socializing to relaxing and spending time with family. As functions multiply while living spaces remain limited, furniture must evolve accordingly. As a result, modular systems allow a single sofa configuration to adapt to changing household needs. Transformable designs enable dining tables to shift effortlessly between everyday use and social gatherings. Intelligent adaptive solutions allow storage units to be reconfigured according to changing storage requirements. Modularity, transformability, and smart adaptability are becoming the new design language of the living and dining furniture sector. Brands are no longer focused on selling individual products; they are creating human-centered spatial solutions built around real-life scenarios. At the Living & Dining Furniture sector of CIFF Shanghai, this transformation is not a future concept—it is already on display. Yesusee Technology integrates invisible smart heating technology into everyday furniture through products such as graphene-heated sintered stone coffee tables, heated height-adjustable desks, and heated ceramic wall art. Free from fan noise and without reducing indoor humidity, these solutions transform heating from a purely functional appliance into a source of everyday comfort and wellbeing. Levia, meanwhile, addresses the challenges of compact living and multifunctional spaces with its Round Folding Dining Table. Folding into a slim profile when not in use and expanding within seconds to accommodate group dining, it enables limited spaces to support a wider range of daily activities. 03. Four Connections at Hall 5.1 More than an exhibition space, the Living & Dining Furniture sector in Hall 5.1 serves as a platform that connects brands with opportunities across the entire business value chain—from domestic and international markets to commercial showcasing and transaction facilitation. 01 Connecting with Global Markets Supported by CIFF Shanghai’s continuously expanding international communications network and overseas buyer resources, the Living & Dining Furniture sector has become an important gateway for Chinese brands seeking global opportunities. Through targeted outreach to millions of professional buyers worldwide, multilingual communications and extensive international social media campaigns—generating over 100 million impressions—continue to strengthen global brand visibility. 02 Connecting with Qualified Buyers Covering key markets across Europe, the Americas, and Asia, CIFF Shanghai facilitates efficient business matching through one-to-one matchmaking programs, enabling targeted pre-show invitations, in-depth onsite meetings, and post-show follow-up opportunities. In 2025, the program generated hundreds of business meetings for more than 100 exhibitors, resulting in intended orders exceeding US$8 million. 03 Connecting with Cross-Border E-commerce A dedicated cross-border e-commerce zone provides comprehensive support covering product selection, payment solutions, logistics, warehousing, and taxation, helping brands expand from traditional B2B channels to integrated B2B and B2C business models. 04 Connecting with the Industry Ecosystem Bringing together a comprehensive range of categories—including living and dining furniture, bedroom furniture, and smart furniture solutions—the sector showcases dining tables, chairs, sofas, coffee tables, TV units, bookcases, and more. From traditional craftsmanship to emerging technologies, it fosters a dynamic ecosystem for the future development of the living and dining furniture industry. 04. The Heart of the Home, Connected to Global Opportunity The evolution of the home is never simply about furniture. As people place greater value on shared moments while also seeking personal space, living and dining areas—often considered the heart of the home—are among the first spaces to reflect these changing lifestyles. Through thoughtful design, the industry continues to respond to these evolving needs. The Living & Dining Furniture sector in Hall 5.1 at CIFF Shanghai brings these responses together in one place.

CIFF Shanghai | Some Things You Just Have to Experience for Yourself
CIFF Shanghai | Some Things You Just Have to Experience for Yourself
CIFF Shanghai | Some Things You Just Have to Experience for Yourself Three seemingly contrasting trends are reshaping the home furnishing industry in 2026. Retail is becoming more tactile. The more information consumers gather online, the more valuable a real-world experience becomes. Sleep technology is becoming increasingly invisible. The best innovations are the ones users hardly notice-yet they make all the difference. Materials are slowing down. In an age of fast consumption, consumers are paying closer attention to what products are made of and how they are made. While these trends may appear to move in different directions, they all point to the same reality: consumers are becoming more specific-and more discerning-about what defines quality. Hall 3 at CIFF Shanghai is where these shifts come together. 01. More Information Makes Real-World Experience More Essential Consumers can spend hours scrolling through social media, reading reviews, and filling their online shopping carts, yet many still arrive at the same conclusion: they want to experience a product in person before making a decision. This captures one of the defining shifts in consumer behavior in 2026. As online information becomes increasingly abundant, physical interaction becomes more valuable. The role of new retail is therefore not simply to add another sales channel, but to create a seamless consumer journey-where digital engagement sparks interest and offline experiences build confidence. According to the latest data from Red Star Macalline, the retailer has partnered with more than 35 new retail furniture brands, with dedicated new retail furniture spaces across its malls reaching 217,000 m2 nationwide, representing a 60% increase compared with 2024. In 2026, the company plans to launch 20 additional New Retail Furniture Pavilions. Behind these figures lies a broader transformation in the furniture retail landscape. Following the launch of China's first New Retail Furniture Pavilion in 2025, CIFF Shanghai will once again partner with Red Star Macalline in 2026 to present the country's largest and most comprehensive exhibition zone dedicated to new retail furniture. Covering 8,000 m2, the exhibition is expected to bring together 15 leading brands, with both exhibition space and participating brand numbers doubling compared with the inaugural edition. During the fair, dedicated business matchmaking events will connect brands, distributors, retailers and channel partners, providing end-to-end support from exhibition exposure to market expansion. The Home Furnishing New Retail Summit will also bring together industry leaders to explore new opportunities and future directions for retail innovation. From emerging innovators to established market leaders, CIFF Shanghai continues to strengthen the visibility, influence and commercial momentum of the new retail furniture sector. 02. The Smarter It Gets, the More It Returns to the Body The biggest challenge for smart mattress brands today is making technology disappear. This is the defining paradox of the sleep industry in 2026: the more advanced the technology becomes, the simpler the experience should feel. The goal is not to impress consumers with flashy features, but to help them fall asleep naturally. The best sleep technology often goes unnoticed-you simply lie down, drift off, and wake up feeling better. At the same time, sleep products are undergoing a fundamental transformation, evolving from individual products into complete sleep solutions. What was once a mattress purchase is now an investment in an entire night's rest, where every factor that influences sleep quality is taken into consideration. At Hall 3's Sleep Technology & Ecosystem Zone, nearly 100 leading sleep brands and innovators will come together across 10,000 m2 to showcase the convergence of technology and healthy sleep. More than a display of mattresses and beds, the zone serves as a platform for integrated sleep solutions, covering mattresses, upholstered beds, sleep textiles, and complementary sleep products. Bringing together global innovators and cutting-edge sleep technologies, the exhibition aims to redefine the modern sleep experience. The zone will be organized into four dedicated sectors-International Sleep, Sleep Technology & Ecosystems, Sleep Brands Going Global, and International Home Decor & Textiles-demonstrating how technology and wellness are driving the evolution of sleep products from standalone items to integrated ecosystems through the combined momentum of domestic and international markets. 03. In the Fast-Consumption Era, Slow Down and Look at Materials Would you check the material label hidden beneath a sofa? Perhaps not in the past-but increasingly, consumers do today. This reflects another shift in the market: while consumption is becoming faster, people are paying closer attention to what products are actually made of. More and more consumers recognize that the materials you cannot see ultimately determine the quality you can. The home is no longer simply a place to live; it has become a space for self-expression. As a result, consumers are looking beyond functionality alone, placing greater value on quality, craftsmanship, and thoughtful design. Home textiles, art objects, original wall art, handcrafted rugs, floral arrangements, smart mirrors-elements once considered optional finishing touches are increasingly taking center stage in the modern home. Nearly 50 brands will gather at the CIFF Lifestyle Aesthetics Exhibition, showcasing a curated selection of designs and decorative pieces across a 2,000 m2 exhibition space dedicated to enhancing the beauty and individuality of living environments. CIFF Shanghai 2026 will also introduce a dedicated Furniture Materials & Components Zone spanning 3,000 m2 and featuring more than 100 exhibitors. From FSC-certified timber and recycled sustainable materials to biodegradable performance fabrics and high-performance hardware components, materials that were once known primarily to industry professionals are now attracting growing attention from consumers. Through comprehensive displays and transparent sourcing stories, the exhibition highlights the increasing importance of material transparency across the home furnishing industry. By showcasing quality from the source and establishing traceable material systems, the zone will serve as both a business platform for industry collaboration and a trusted destination for consumers seeking greater confidence in their purchasing decisions. 04. Reading Industry Chain Opportunities Through Paradoxes These three seemingly contrasting trends ultimately point to the same conclusion: people are no longer simply buying furniture-they are making conscious choices about how they want to live. The success of new retail depends on the strength of the product itself. Data may help consumers make decisions more efficiently, but trust is built through real-world experience. The evolution of sleep solutions is driven by the integration of materials and technology; intelligent systems rely on high-quality materials just as much as premium materials benefit from technological innovation. Products, channels, materials, and brands are not separate conversations-they are interconnected parts of the same value chain. At Hall 3, every link of that chain comes together. Sleep innovation, new retail, lifestyle aesthetics, and material innovation may appear to be distinct themes, but they represent different dimensions of the same industry transformation. Hall 3 at CIFF Shanghai is where these changes converge. Are you ready to experience them for yourself?

CIFF Shanghai | Why Are Sofas Worldwide Embracing a More Relaxed Way of Living?
CIFF Shanghai | Why Are Sofas Worldwide Embracing a More Relaxed Way of Living?
CIFF Shanghai | Why Are Sofas Worldwide Embracing a More Relaxed Way of Living? Why do today's sofas look less and less like traditional sofas? The living room is no longer just a space for receiving guests. Today, it serves as a workspace, a home cinema, a social corner, a place for solitude, and even a space to unwind and recharge. Increasingly, all of these functions are centred around a single piece of furniture: the sofa. As the role of the sofa continues to expand, the competitive landscape of the industry is changing as well. Materials, price and size are no longer the only factors that matter. Brands that better understand evolving lifestyles and consumer needs are the ones gaining a competitive edge. Hall 2.1 at the 58th CIFF Shanghai offers a compelling snapshot of this shift. 01、Why Are Sofas Worldwide Embracing a More Relaxed Way of Living? If there is one word that best defines the global sofa trend in 2026, it is relaxation. Look at Scandinavian brands, and the focus is on nature and comfort. Look at Italian brands, and the conversation centres on craftsmanship and design. Look at American brands, and they champion freedom, casual living and the idea that the best seat is the one you can truly sink into. While these approaches differ in style, they point to the same underlying trend: sofas are shifting from formal seating to relaxed living. HTL draws inspiration from the elegance and charm of Audrey Hepburn in its designs. Asiama explores the possibilities of modularity and multifunctionality. Skyline brings cloud-like comfort through responsive cushioning, while Lazboy delivers a near weightless seating experience through its comfort technologies. ARIS focuses on ergonomic support, making every moment of relaxation feel more comfortable and effortless. HTL Asiama Skyline Lazboy ARIS 02、How Are Chinese Sofa Brands Gaining a Global Foothold? China's furniture brands have been expanding overseas for years, but the rules of the game are changing. In the past, “Made in China” was closely associated with cost-effectiveness. Today, leading brands such as KUKA Home, Man Wah and DeRUCCI are increasingly competing through design, product quality and brand value. Consumers are no longer choosing Chinese sofas simply because they are affordable. They are choosing them because they offer attractive design, reliable quality and a better user experience. KUKA Home Man Wah DeRUCCI This is no longer about individual products succeeding overseas. It is about the internationalisation of an entire industry. From stronger product development and brand building to the transition from OEM manufacturing to self-owned brands, China's sofa industry is undergoing a significant transformation. Supporting that transformation requires a platform capable of connecting brands with global buyers. To strengthen international business opportunities, CIFF Shanghai has established dedicated cross-border trade zones and leverages its extensive overseas buyer database and global partner network to attract international buyers and purchasing decision-makers. Through organised buyer delegations and targeted business matchmaking programmes, the journey from first contact to commercial cooperation becomes shorter and more efficient. The results speak for themselves. In 2025, CIFF's business matchmaking programme facilitated more than 470 in-depth meetings for over 100 exhibitors, generating intended orders worth more than USD 8.14 million. The number of overseas visitors reached 11,873, representing a year-on-year increase of 13.23%. Notably, distributors and purchasing professionals accounted for 70.36% of international visitors, highlighting the strong commercial value of the exhibition. As Chinese sofa brands move from competing on price to competing on quality, what they need is no longer just exhibition space, but a platform that understands the realities of global business development. 03、Today, the Real Competition Is No Longer Between Brands Competition in the sofa industry is no longer simply brand versus brand. Increasingly, it is supply chain versus supply chain. Access to higher-quality leather, more sustainable filling materials, quieter and more precise hardware components and advanced manufacturing capabilities all contribute to the quality consumers ultimately experience. One of the key highlights of Hall 2.1 at CIFF Shanghai 2026 is the launch of a dedicated Industry Connection Zone, designed to bring together suppliers from across the sofa industry value chain. Products and solutions on display will include lounge chairs, living room furniture, sofa accessories, premium leather, innovative fabrics and environmentally friendly filling materials. By bringing leading suppliers and manufacturers together on a single platform, the exhibition helps reduce communication costs, improve sourcing efficiency and create new opportunities for collaboration throughout the industry. 04、Sofa Brands Are Rethinking What It Means to Exhibit CIFF Shanghai is more than a showcase of products. It also provides a comprehensive business empowerment platform, combining exhibition-store linkage programmes, integrated media promotion, influencer engagement, buyer recommendation initiatives and international delegation programmes. Through these diverse resources, brands can achieve more precise market exposure, stronger communication impact and greater commercial opportunities. 01 Deep Integration with Retail Channels CIFF Shanghai works closely with leading home furnishing retailers across China, including Red Star Macalline, Yuexing Home and Easyhome, creating a two-way connection between the exhibition and retail market. Dealers are engaged before the show, participate in product sourcing activities during the exhibition, and gain access to premium retail placement opportunities afterwards. Dealer groups from across the country visit the fair, helping exhibitors connect with the right partners and accelerate market expansion. 02 An Integrated Media Ecosystem From domestic social platforms such as Douyin and Xiaohongshu to global channels including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and TikTok, CIFF Shanghai attracts extensive attention from influencers, content creators and professional buyers. Nearly one hundred influencers and buyer representatives attend the exhibition, generating millions of online impressions. From immersive booth experiences and product reviews to livestreaming and long-term content distribution, brands benefit from both increased visibility and stronger commercial engagement. At the same time, coverage from leading media outlets, combined with ongoing exposure across international social platforms, helps position CIFF Shanghai as one of the industry's most influential communication platforms. 03 Attracting Buyers and Industry Voices CIFF Shanghai actively invites international buyers and purchasing decision-makers while organising overseas buyer delegations from multiple markets. The exhibition also brings together mainstream media and leading trade publications to provide on-site coverage and industry insights. These diverse visitor groups contribute not only to effective business matchmaking and broader market exposure, but also to the credibility and influence of the exhibition. Through professional perspectives and direct market feedback, they help strengthen CIFF Shanghai's role as a bridge connecting brands with global opportunities. The transformation of the living room reflects much more than changes in interior design. It mirrors broader shifts in the way people live—from spending more time at home to placing greater value on comfort and well-being. As the centrepiece of the living room, the sofa both reflects and responds to these changing expectations. CIFF Shanghai is where these changes take shape. .info-title-c0dc9 { font-size: clamp(30px, 3.13vw, 60px); font-weight: 500; margin: 0; color: #000; } .info-c0dc9 { margin-top: clamp(40px, 4.17vw, 80px); } .info-content-c0dc9 { color: #000; margin: clamp(23px, 2.4vw, 46px) 0; font-size: clamp(15px, 1.56vw, 30px); font-weight: 400; } .info-grids-c0dc9 { display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr); gap: clamp(23px, 2.4vw, 46px); } .info-grid-img-c0dc9 { width: 100%; aspect-ratio: 1/0.6; object-fit: cover; } .info-grid-text-c0dc9 { font-size: clamp(12.5px, 1.3vw, 25px); font-weight: 400; color: #898989; margin: clamp(12.5px, 1.3vw, 25px) 0 0 0; }

Design Eden | Measured by Design, Growing with Purpose Breaking the cycle of homogeneity through design. As design becomes a key driver of commercial value, the precise alignment of product selection, trends, and supply chains has become a core priority across the industry. CIFF Shanghai · Design Eden redefines the meeting point of business and design. 01、Visual Identity & Annual Theme Launch In 2026, Design Eden returns under the theme of "Measured Abundance", once again bringing together the design forces shaping the home furnishing industry. In a market defined by constant change and uncertainty, "Measured Abundance" represents the industry's most mature response — rational, balanced, and intentional. The English title Measured Abundance precisely captures this philosophy. Measured: Thoughtful restraint, precise judgment, and informed choices. Abundance: Rich experiences, diverse possibilities, and meaningful value created within a measured framework. 02、Opportunities for Three Key Audiences at CIFF Shanghai · Design Eden 2026 One exhibition, three perspectives. Distributors look for business opportunities. Designers seek inspiration. Consumers pursue better living. Design Eden gives every need a meaningful response. @Industry Distributors Find Quality Products, Capture Trends, Reduce Costs, Expand Channels CIFF Shanghai · Design Eden precisely addresses the core pain points of distributors — finding quality products, capturing trends, reducing costs, and expanding channels — by connecting industry opportunities with platform value. No.1 Design Brands = Trend Leaders As the home furnishing industry enters a new era of globalized design, CIFF Shanghai · Design Eden has become a key destination for leading design brands. The 2025 edition brought together renowned names including CAMERICH, HC28 maison, COOMO, HIK Yujian, TREASURE, DOU HOME, KBH, Notting Hill, and Tikahome, with new product launches and latest brand initiatives unveiled at the fair. No.2 Global Expansion of Distribution Channels Home furnishing brands are entering a more refined stage of global expansion. Brands such as COOMO and KABIN have already opened independent overseas stores, while HC28 maison is actively expanding its international distribution network. For distributors, brands with established global strategies represent valuable opportunities for long-term business growth. No.3 Discovering High-Potential Products Winning products are often found in the details. KBH and the IMAGINATION Contemporary Design Life Exhibition showcased a wide range of products with strong market potential and design appeal. These trend-driven selections can help distributors capture attention, drive traffic, and achieve faster conversion. No.4 Sustainable Customization Capabilities Special exhibitions such as the Design Gravity Field and the HOTLINE Design Creators' Joint Exhibition highlight advanced capabilities in customized products and design services. These flexible solutions enable distributors to deliver more tailored proposals, improve client satisfaction, and respond to growing customization demands. @Industry Designers Discover Trends, Source Products, Connect with Supply Chains Leveraging the international positioning, brand resources, and curated special exhibitions of CIFF Shanghai · Design Eden, the fair precisely responds to the core needs of interior and product designers — trend insights, product sourcing, and efficient supply chain connections. It delivers value through inspiration, resource integration, and trend exchange, while expanding audience reach and strengthening its professional influence within the home furnishing design industry. No.1 Trend Leadership from Top Commercial Design Brands Core brands each present exhibition spaces exceeding 200 m², showcasing distinctive approaches to spatial layout, color palettes, and material application. These immersive presentations provide practical references for residential and commercial design projects, helping address challenges such as stylistic homogeneity and the difficulty of translating concepts into real spaces. No.2 A Convergence of International Design Perspectives Backed by extensive industry and brand resources, CIFF Shanghai · Design Eden brings together global design ideas through on-site events and curated thematic exhibitions. At the IMAGINATION Contemporary Design Life Exhibition and the Secret Realm themed exhibition, visitors explore new possibilities for contemporary living. At the Design Gravity Field, they experience how design inspiration is translated into real spaces. At the HOTLINE Design Creators' Joint Exhibition, they witness the local evolution and expression of design culture. No.3 Full-Spectrum Supply Chain Connections With diverse product categories and premium brand resources, the fair helps establish long-term collaboration channels and improves the efficiency and quality of turnkey design solutions. By further integrating industry demand for design services and creative resources, CIFF Shanghai · Design Eden also promotes deeper interaction and commercial collaboration between designers and brands. @Consumers Dream Home, One Stop Away From trending styles to practical solutions, the fair offers consumers a one-stop reference for creating spaces that balance aesthetics and functionality — while avoiding the uncertainty of product selection and renovation decisions. No.1 Refined Light Luxury Sophisticated color palettes paired with materials such as metal and glass create a refined sense of luxury suitable for spaces of all sizes. Balancing aesthetics and texture, this style resonates with high-end consumers seeking understated elegance without excess. No.2 Distinctive Personal Style From industrial and eclectic styles to gender-neutral aesthetics, these diverse design expressions create home spaces with character, individuality, and visual impact. No.3 Lifestyle Aesthetics Bold soft-furnishing combinations, curated lifestyle objects, Chinese tea culture, and tea spaces together shape a more refined living experience. Designed for consumers who value aesthetics in everyday life, these spaces bring warmth, personality, and emotional connection into the home. As Design Eden enters its third year, we have become increasingly convinced of one thing: great design does not need to be loud, but it deserves to be seen. Great brands do not need to appeal to everyone, but they need to meet the right audience. Measured Abundance is a more precise response to an uncertain era. We create a platform for design, build pathways for business, and help every brand committed to great products find the recognition it deserves.

CIFF Shanghai | From China’s Supply Chain to the Global Marketplace Going global is becoming a key growth pathway for Chinese home furnishing brands. In September 2026, the 58th CIFF Shanghai will be held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai Hongqiao) under the theme "Design · Digital Intelligence · Sustainability." In response to rising global demands for supply stability and integrated operational capabilities, CIFF Shanghai is advancing its export-oriented empowerment ecosystem. Anchored by five core export-driven sub-exhibitions, the fair will build a comprehensive global expansion platform spanning the entire home furnishing supply chain, connect with key international markets through diversified overseas initiatives, drive efficient business conversion through precise matchmaking services, and strengthen long-term global visibility through its international communication network. Looking ahead, CIFF Shanghai aims to transform "going global" from a one-time transaction into a sustainable business ecosystem, building a practical and efficient bridge for Chinese home furnishing brands to reach global markets. 01 | Three Platform Advantages, Building a Long-Term Export Empowerment System In 2026, leveraging the unique advantage of "Integrated Home Furnishing and Building Materials, Concurrent Dual Exhibitions," CIFF Shanghai will establish a comprehensive export empowerment ecosystem covering supply chain integration, channel adaptation, and organizational capability development. Beyond one-off trade connections, the platform is evolving from a single exhibition cycle into a year-round content ecosystem, from information dissemination to content co-creation, and from exhibition services into broader industry services — building sustainable industry connectivity along the way. By integrating resources across the entire furniture and building materials supply chain, CIFF Shanghai is creating a complete global expansion pathway spanning supply chain sourcing, channel development, and long-term operations. Through a fully integrated empowerment framework covering pre-show precise matchmaking, in-depth on-site negotiations, and continuous post-show services, the fair provides systematic support at every stage of international business expansion. By continuously leveraging its platform strengths and deepening its commitment to global expansion, CIFF Shanghai connects enterprises with worldwide resources while helping them navigate the key stages of overseas market development. 02 | Four Global Pathways, Reshaping International Brand Competitiveness From Exhibition to Global Operations CIFF Shanghai is building an integrated online and offline global expansion ecosystem while strategically strengthening its presence across key overseas markets. The fair continues to advance overseas digital media operations through refined management across major social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, X, and WhatsApp, while further enhancing website promotion and search engine visibility through Google and Yandex. This year, the official exhibition website has also been comprehensively upgraded with Chinese, English, Spanish, and Arabic versions officially launched, providing exhibitors with more precise and localized presentation channels. Through overseas community engagement, buyer outreach, and resource integration, CIFF Shanghai continuously helps enterprises establish export channels while lowering the barriers to international expansion. From Information to Decision Support Together with leading industry institutions, CIFF Shanghai will launch the "Furniture Global Expansion Research Lab," a branded service platform dedicated to overseas market insights, policy interpretation, and category opportunity analysis. Integrating real-world case studies and key industry resources, the platform aims to answer critical questions — where to go, how to go, and how to succeed — through data-driven analysis and strategic insight. During the fair, the 2026 Furniture Brands Global Expansion White Paper will also be officially released, systematically examining key issues amid the restructuring of the global home furnishing market. Combining practical cases from both leading and emerging brands, the report will provide actionable guidance on market selection, operational methodologies, and exhibition resource integration. Supported by overseas buyer resources and export service platforms, CIFF Shanghai helps enterprises seize strategic opportunities for global expansion and accelerate international brand development. From Display to Deal-Making Focusing on high-quality export-oriented enterprises, CIFF Shanghai will launch global buyer invitation and customized matchmaking services, creating mutual value for exhibitors and buyers through precise supply-demand matching and one-on-one business meetings. During the exhibition, five dedicated business matchmaking events will be held, covering core export-driven sectors including outdoor furniture, office furniture, living and dining spaces, and upholstered furniture. In 2025, the matchmaking series facilitated more than 470 rounds of in-depth negotiations for over 100 exhibitors, generating intended orders exceeding USD 8.14 million on site. In 2026, CIFF Shanghai will organize dozens of overseas buyer delegations to visit and source products, creating a highly efficient platform for precise business connections between exhibitors and international buyers. From International Communication to Global Recognition CIFF Shanghai will further deepen collaboration with overseas media, design institutions, and industry organizations, using international roadshows as a platform to communicate pre-show trends and curatorial concepts. In 2026, under the theme "Global Brand Expansion, Design Leadership," the fair will launch a series of overseas roadshows covering Southeast Asia, Central Asia, South America, and other regional markets. The Malaysia stop, in particular, will facilitate efficient industry resource connections between China and Malaysia through government visits, industry exchanges, and corporate inspections. In addition, this edition will continue to feature the Italian Leisure Pavilion Special Exhibition, bringing together renowned Italian design brands and promoting Sino-Italian design dialogue and cross-cultural collaboration through immersive exhibition experiences and forum activities. 03 | Five Core Export Categories, Building a Gateway to Global Business Outdoor Furniture The CIFF (Shanghai) Urban Outdoor Furniture Exhibition will showcase nearly 200 brands presenting diverse outdoor lifestyle concepts, spanning outdoor leisure furniture, garden furniture, camping furnishings, and waterproof outdoor accessories, offering comprehensive outdoor living solutions. As overseas garden economies and outdoor leisure consumption continue to grow, outdoor home furnishings have become one of the most promising export-driven categories. With strong functionality and immersive scenario-based displays, this sector closely aligns with evolving overseas consumer trends. Living & Dining Spaces Featuring globally styled products including dining, living room, and bedroom furniture, as well as smart home solutions, this sector aligns with mainstream overseas aesthetics and features a mature supply chain for bulk customization and export. Around 230 industry-leading brands will gather to present original designs, high-value cross-border bestsellers, and export-oriented panel suites, meeting diverse global sourcing demands.

In response to rising global demand for commercial engineering projects, overseas enterprise procurement, and cross-border fit-out solutions, the exhibition highlights modular design and strong project customization capabilities, helping enterprises connect with international procurement projects and multinational collaborations. Upholstered Furniture The sofa and sleep sectors will each present the latest products from nearly 100 enterprises, covering upholstered sofas, upholstered beds, mattresses, sleep systems, and functional upholstered home furnishings, fully demonstrating the strong value proposition of Chinese upholstered manufacturing. As overseas demand for functional and smart products continues to surge, the sector will spotlight eco-friendly materials, multifunctional designs, and rapidly evolving cross-border bestsellers, enabling flexible adaptation to diversified global sourcing demands. Woodworking Machinery The CIFF (Shanghai) Furniture Machinery & Woodworking Machinery Fair and CIFF (Shanghai) Upholstery Tech will showcase cutting-edge furniture manufacturing technologies from more than 400 enterprises, presenting integrated production scenarios spanning intelligent production lines, high-performance panels, eco-friendly materials, components, and coordinated manufacturing systems. Addressing diversified production demands, the exhibitions help overseas factories achieve breakthroughs in aesthetics, efficiency, and cost optimization. Featuring integrated "Machinery · Materials · Components" solutions and full-process technological innovation, the exhibitions will also provide global buyers with highly practical sourcing experiences from design to delivery, empowering enterprises to move beyond excessive competition toward high-quality manufacturing. What CIFF Shanghai offers is not merely exhibition space and exposure, but a comprehensive global expansion capability system: building reliable supply chain capabilities based on China’s stable and efficient manufacturing ecosystem, establishing global connectivity through buyer, channel, and project resource integration, and helping enterprises evolve from one-time transactions to long-term partnerships supported by sustainable operational systems. CIFF Shanghai is driving a deeper transformation — enabling Chinese home furnishing enterprises to move beyond supply chain manufacturing and toward the global business marketplace. From September 5–8, 2026, at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), CIFF Shanghai invites the global industry to witness and participate in the next chapter of international expansion. .info-title-c0dc9 { font-size: clamp(30px, 3.13vw, 60px); font-weight: 500; margin: 0; color: #000; } .info-c0dc9 { margin-top: clamp(40px, 4.17vw, 80px); } .info-content-c0dc9 { color: #000; margin: clamp(23px, 2.4vw, 46px) 0; font-size: clamp(15px, 1.56vw, 30px); font-weight: 400; } .info-grids-c0dc9 { display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr); gap: clamp(23px, 2.4vw, 46px); } .info-grid-img-c0dc9 { width: 100%; aspect-ratio: 1/0.6; object-fit: cover; } .info-grid-text-c0dc9 { font-size: clamp(12.5px, 1.3vw, 25px); font-weight: 400; color: #898989; margin: clamp(12.5px, 1.3vw, 25px) 0 0 0; }
