CIFF Shanghai 2026 | China Construction Expo (Shanghai): Where the Home Furnishing Industry Finds Its New Answers
CIFF Shanghai 2026 | China Construction Expo (Shanghai): Where the Home Furnishing Industry Finds Its New Answers Over the past few decades, China’s home furnishing industry has grown rapidly on the strength of its manufacturing capabilities, establishing a strong presence in the global market with its vast supply chain and production capacity. In 2026, however, the industry is entering a new cycle, shaped by increasingly segmented consumer demand, the restructuring of distribution channels, and a realignment of the global market landscape. The questions facing businesses are shifting from “Can we make it?” to “Can we build a brand? Can we go global? Can we achieve sustainable growth?” Trade fairs are being redefined accordingly. No longer merely showcases where products are brought together under one roof, they are evolving into platforms that connect industry resources, identify emerging market trends, and drive business growth. From September 5 to 8, 2026, the 58th China International Furniture Fair (Shanghai) and the 2026 China Construction Expo (Shanghai) will be held concurrently at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai Hongqiao. Together, they are creating a place where China’s home furnishing industry can explore new answers to the challenges ahead. 01 Industry Restructuring: From “Showcase Collection” to “Growth Ecosystem” For decades, home furnishing trade fairs have relied on product categories to structure their exhibitions, with furniture, building materials, and home décor displayed in separate sections. This made exhibitions easier to organize and allowed visitors to navigate them by category. Today, however, the consumer decision-making journey has changed. Consumers are no longer simply buying a piece of furniture; they are creating a complete space. A space-oriented approach means that furniture, building materials, design, smart home solutions, and whole-home solutions should no longer be fragmented across separate exhibitions. Instead, they need to be brought together in one place, where they can be viewed, compared, and evaluated as part of an integrated whole. This year, China International Furniture Fair (Shanghai) and China Construction Expo (Shanghai) will be held concurrently under one roof. This is not simply a physical combination of two exhibitions, but a restructuring of the industry’s underlying logic. Original design, sleep furniture, sofas and living & dining room furniture, office, commercial and hospitality furniture, furniture manufacturing equipment, home décor and textiles, outdoor furniture and materials, whole-home solutions, and wellness and healing will all come together in one space. For buyers, the decision-making journey—from a single chair to an entire wall—has effectively been shortened to the distance of a single venue. Looking back, CIFF Shanghai has made an increasingly clear choice in recent years: not to expand simply for the sake of expansion, but to focus greater attention on questions that genuinely deserve to be revisited. Which sectors warrant dedicated exhibitions? Which categories could emerge as new growth engines over the next three years? And which core values should remain unchanged amid constant transformation? In September 2025, CIFF Shanghai launched its New Retail Pavilion for the first time, bringing together new retail brands such as Yeswood and CHUHU for their first collective appearance at an offline exhibition. Moving beyond e-commerce pages and into physical spaces, these brands received a more immediate market response than anticipated. This year, the New Retail Pavilion is set to reach new highs in both scale and the number of participating brands, bringing together more than ten leading new retail brands, including YESWOOD, LINSY, CHUHU, and Yuanshi yuansu. The growth trajectory of the six sub-shows is also becoming increasingly clear. Each sub-show represents recognition of its respective segment’s ability to develop as a distinct sector: each stands on its own, while together they form a comprehensive picture of the industry. Industries converge in Hongqiao, where integration and innovation continue to unfold. When a trade fair consistently creates points of convergence, it ceases to be merely a showcase and becomes an engine for growth. 02 Value Upgrade: From “Viewing Design” to “Experiencing the Future” The deeper value of a trade fair lies not in simply putting great products on display, but in creating a place where their value can be validated. Now in its third year, Design Eden has evolved through three distinct themes. In its first year, “Infinite” pushed beyond boundaries, bringing original design into the spotlight. In its second year, “Preciousness” returned to the realities of constraints, putting design’s commercial resilience to the test. In 2026, “Measured Abundance” responds to the market by seeking a more mature sense of balance and discernment in design. Through this three-year evolution of themes, Design Eden has responded precisely to the industry’s changing needs at different stages, while gradually establishing itself as a gathering place for leading original design talent from China and around the world. Over the past three years, Design Eden’s content ecosystem has continued to evolve. HOTLINE, a joint exhibition for designers and creators, brings emerging designers into dialogue with industry players. The Contemporary Design Lifestyle Exhibition takes everyday living scenarios as its starting point, presenting forward-looking visions of how we might live. Design Gravity advocates a design philosophy of getting things just right, exploring precision and restraint in design. The Grand Tea Ceremony takes tea as its medium, delving into traditional tea culture and landscape aesthetics while integrating contemporary Eastern design concepts to create a new, poetic way of living. The YISI Design Exhibition continues to connect emerging young designers and uncover new creative potential. Each of these curated programs has its own distinct identity, yet together they form Design Eden’s ever-evolving content ecosystem. This year, Design Eden is expanding its horizons even further, with a growing number of international brands set to participate. As Chinese brands expand onto the global stage, design should no longer be confined to aesthetic expression. It must also translate into product competitiveness, greater brand premium potential, and a language that resonates in international markets. The Gold Creation Award, exclusively launched at CIFF Shanghai, will continue to empower original Chinese design and drive China’s home furnishing industry toward greater quality and originality. This year, CIFF Shanghai embraces the theme “Design · Intelligence · Sustainability”: Design moves upward, driving value. Intelligence moves forward, extending efficiency. Sustainability looks further ahead, running through the entire industry. This is how value grows in Hongqiao—by being continuously validated and chosen. 03 Global Connection: From “Product Export” to “Brand Going Global” Amid an industry-wide rush to drive sales, Hongqiao is focusing its attention on a different path: helping brands gain visibility on the global stage. For Chinese home furnishing brands to move from exporting products to building brands globally, manufacturing capabilities alone are not enough. They also need the ability to express their design identity and connect effectively with global markets. CIFF Shanghai’s true strength lies not simply in the number of orders secured, but in the meaningful international connections forged here between global buyers and brands. Throughout this year, CIFF Shanghai has continued to advance its Global Roadshow Program for Chinese Brands, reaching deep into the home furnishing markets of Southeast Asia, Central Asia, and Europe through events in Malaysia, Kazakhstan, and Türkiye. The program identifies and engages high-quality distributors, buyers, and brand agents worldwide, while providing a one-stop business matchmaking platform for Chinese and international companies. Its global buyer invitation system continues to operate efficiently, while its international partner network keeps expanding, further strengthening CIFF Shanghai’s global presence. CIFF Shanghai is also enhancing its international media communications network, with targeted operations across major social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, consistently delivering relevant content to precisely defined audiences. In partnership with industry organizations, it has also established the CIFF Furniture Globalization Research Lab, providing brands with insights into overseas market developments, policy interpretation, and analysis of opportunities across product categories. Here, international buyers assess the strengths and capabilities of China’s supply chain, while Chinese brands test the potential of global markets. A single visit offers access to multidimensional growth opportunities across China’s home furnishing industry. For Chinese brands going global, the answers are here in Hongqiao. 04 Cycle Reshaping: From a Single Fair to a Year-round Growth System The four days of the fair are not a one-off burst of activity, but the ignition point for an engine of growth that keeps running. Before and after the event, connections between brands and distribution channels, dialogue between design and the market, and the matching of manufacturing capabilities with demand are woven into the industry’s year-round rhythm. This year, CIFF Shanghai is taking industry dialogue even further upstream. From July 16 to August 16, CIFF Shanghai · Design Eden, together with HOTLINE, will stage the month-long “Dongguan Qiqizuo” preview exhibition in Dongguan. Rooted in Dongguan’s world-class home furnishing manufacturing cluster and centered on the theme of “Circular Co-Creation,” the exhibition rapidly connects designers, factories, and brands, allowing design to enter the production line before it enters the exhibition hall. For a trade fair, meaningful investment has never been limited to the four days of the event itself. It is a year-round system in motion. Before the fair, overseas roadshows reach deep into regional markets across Southeast Asia, Central Asia, South America, and beyond; professional media and social platforms work in parallel to extend content reach; and targeted invitations drawn from a global database of professional buyers continue to build momentum for the event. During the fair, five business matchmaking sessions cover key export-oriented sectors including outdoor furniture, office furniture, living and dining room furniture, and upholstered furniture, precisely connecting exhibitors with international buyers. Dozens of industry forums take place in quick succession, while media exposure reaching tens of millions pushes industry attention to its peak. After the fair, initial connections established during the event are cultivated through continued communication and services, developing into tangible business partnerships, while media coverage and industry communities keep the fair’s momentum alive. In this way, a four-day industry gathering becomes a year-round industry conversation—one that continues to be seen and discussed. Every stage before, during, and after the fair addresses the same question: how can the value created over these four days continue throughout the entire year? This is more than a curatorial approach. It is the core capability that sets Hongqiao apart from traditional trade fairs—transforming a one-off surge of activity into sustainable momentum for growth. Change in the industry is never confined to a single product category. Behind it lies a reshaping of consumer behavior, an evolution of business models, and a realignment of the global industrial landscape. From September 5 to 8, join us at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai Hongqiao to witness new directions and discover new answers for the home furnishing industry. .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; }
CIFF Shanghai | WMF International Woodworking Fair: Five New Shifts in Furniture Manufacturing, Live in Halls 7.1 & 8.1
CIFF Shanghai | WMF International Woodworking Fair: Five New Shifts in Furniture Manufacturing, Live in Halls 7.1 & 8.1
CIFF Shanghai | WMF International Woodworking Fair: Five New Shifts in Furniture Manufacturing, Live in Halls 7.1 & 8.1 Changes in the furniture industry usually originate on the product side and eventually land on the manufacturing side. As furniture features more complex curved surfaces, finer edge‑banding, richer material combinations and faster delivery cycles, factories are faced with more than just the question of “which machine to buy”. The core challenge lies in how to turn designs into stable, efficient and replicable production outputs. If CIFF Shanghai reveals industry trends for furniture, WMF International Woodworking Fair shows how these trends are brought to life through manufacturing. Held from September 5‑8, 2026, CIFF Shanghai‑WMF International Woodworking Fair will take place in Halls 7.1 & 8.1 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai, Hongqiao). This year, centering on five key themes: intelligent digital processing, advanced edge‑banding, special‑shaped high‑end customization, surface finishing, and engineered‑board & upholstery production technologies, the exhibition showcases real‑world shifts taking place on furniture manufacturing shop floors. 01 From Stand‑alone Machines to Whole‑line Collaboration: Factories Need an Integrated Production System In the past, furniture factories purchased equipment mainly to improve capacity for individual working procedures. If cutting speed was insufficient, they would buy cutting‑section machinery. If edge‑banding quality was unstable, they would upgrade edge‑banders. If drilling efficiency lagged, additional drilling machines would be added. However, as custom orders become increasingly fragmented, delivery cycles keep shortening, and upstream‑downstream procedures grow more interconnected, stand‑alone machinery is no longer sufficient. What truly determines factory efficiency lies in the smooth interconnection among cutting, labelling, edge‑banding, drilling, sorting and packaging processes. Furniture manufacturing is shifting from workshop‑section automation toward whole‑line collaboration.

CIFF Shanghai | Five Approaches to New Retail
CIFF Shanghai | Five Approaches to New Retail
CIFF Shanghai | Five Approaches to New Retail Why has CIFF Shanghai set up an 8,000-square-meter exclusive zone dedicated to new retail this year? If the home furnishing industry is viewed as an ever-evolving experiment, new retail is likely its fastest-changing segment. In the past, home furnishing brands focused on sales channels, SKUs, store expansion speed and franchise rebates. Today, they pay more attention to content expression, scene matching, community identity, and how brands can take root in consumers' daily lives. New retail brands are playing multiple roles: content creators, scene planners, community operators and lifestyle proposers. Competition within the home furnishing industry is shifting from channel competition to narrative competition. Covering 8,000 square meters in Hall 3 at CIFF Shanghai this year, the exclusive new retail zone zeroes in on this transformation. Over a dozen brands on-site showcase five distinct approaches to new retail. #01 What Story Is New Retail Telling This Year? 01 Brands No Longer Obsess Over a Single Style Many brands no longer take a single design style as the universal solution; instead, they offer freely switchable multi-style collections to precisely capture high-spending young consumers who reject stereotyped labels.

YESWOOD Kunpeng Sofa QuMei Capella Sofa Z-Dynamic Era Oak Solid Wood Coffee Table 05 Oriental Aesthetics Are Shedding the Classical Oriental aesthetics are shedding symbolic decorative gimmicks.

Moving away from rigid classical forms does not mean abandoning oriental charm—it means integrating oriental beauty into everyday life. GuanMuJiang's Monet Series uses solid cherry wood slabs to carry impressionist light and shadow brushstrokes, merging romantic French silhouettes with the gentle texture of oriental timber on a single dining table. ChuHu Life's Time Sideboard is built from premium imported North American SUP-grade cherry wood, with raised edge countertops effectively preventing items from sliding off.

GuanMuJiang Monet Series ChuHu Life Time Sideboard #02 Explore New Retail, Then Lie Down and Relax 06 Beds Begin to "Read" You When a mattress begins to perceive your body curves, sleep patterns and breathing depth, it is no longer merely furniture—it becomes an observer and responder to your sleep.

CIFF Shanghai | Why Sofas Are No Longer Just Sofas
CIFF Shanghai | Why Sofas Are No Longer Just Sofas
CIFF Shanghai | Why Sofas Are No Longer Just Sofas If a home is regarded as a spatial system, the sofa is likely the fastest-evolving piece of furniture. In the past, people chose sofas based on size, price and material. Today, they start to care about long-sitting comfort, space flexibility, personalized design expression, and how the sofa adapts to diverse lifestyles. A single sofa now serves multiple purposes: resting, reading, working, socializing, parent-child interaction, physical therapy and more. This means competition in the sofa industry is shifting from product competition to lifestyle competition. Hall 2.1 Sofa Pavilion at CIFF Shanghai this year is the core venue to witness this transformation. As the core engine of the upholstered furniture sector at CIFF Shanghai, Hall 2.1 Sofa Pavilion gathers leading full-category upholstery brands including HTL Global Sofa Master, Domicil, CHEERS, Asiama, CAMPO DE' FIORI, VALORO, YESWOOD, LAZBOY, ARIS, UE and NEST SPACE. With immersive product portfolios, it reveals five major trends of the 2026 sofa industry, allowing visitors to grasp both the present and future of sofas within one single hall. # What Questions Are Sofas Answering This Year? 01 Why Materials Are Becoming Competitive Again Leather grain, frame seams, and the rebound speed of seat cushions—CMF (Color / Material / Finish) has replaced price as the new focal point of competition among sofa brands. Premium materials inherently deliver a high-end texture: delicate touch, unique grain patterns and restrained stitching craft easily distinguish mediocre products from high-end ones, and their superior quality can be instantly perceived by touch. HTL Global Sofa Master Booth No.: 2.1B01 The HTL 50th Anniversary Edition abandons rigid straight lines. Its smooth curved surfaces fit human body curves, while the floor-standing legless design creates an airy and lightweight look, delivering enveloping relaxation whether sitting or lying down. The leather stitching and pleating craft forms three-dimensional textures, enabling even pressure distribution and preventing sagging. Curved corner sections fit neatly into corners of all apartment layouts without wasting space. Extendable chaise sections support both lying and sitting, catering to quiet solo relaxation and group gatherings. It fits both small and large apartments perfectly and maximizes living room space. CHEERS Booth No.: 2.1B18 The SU-TF11195M Dubai Mansion American genuine leather modular power sofa boasts timeless, magnificent beauty. Its minimalist silhouette elevates the aesthetic of any living room, while delicate embellishments add romance and softness to straight lines, showcasing diverse new styling. LAZBOY Booth No.: 2.1A05 The LZF.353 Star and LZL.353 Galaxy series adopt imported European and American full-grain top-grain cowhide. The premium leather features an exquisite soft texture, and its black-and-white dual-color scheme symbolizes two polar states of the universe, boasting a minimalist, versatile style that builds modern quality living spaces. The LZF.353 Star series features multi-color blended short-pile chenille fabric with rich grain layers that deliver vivid visual depth, as romantic and colorful as gazing up at the starry sky. The skin-friendly soft fabric instantly upgrades the texture of any home space. HTL 50th Anniversary Edition SU-TF11195M Dubai Mansion LZF.353 Star & LZL.353 Galaxy Why Sofas Are Getting Quieter The evolution of power sofas has shifted from "being adjustable" to "seamless, unnoticeable adjustment": smaller motors, concealed fasteners, smoother start-stop curves, plus hidden wired controllers. At Hall 2.1 Sofa Pavilion, a host of brands integrate electric mechanisms, voice control and adaptive support into ultra-slim exteriors, letting technology solely serve comfort. Asiama Booth No.: 2.1A03 Model 5596 sofa is a multi-functional electric sofa system elaborately developed based on real-life demands, integrating contemporary design and innovative concepts. Dual-motor electric functions are installed in both armrests. The motor system undergoes precise noise reduction treatment for stable, silent operation, enabling quiet electric adjustment and delivering an upgraded silent experience where functions operate without audible noise. CAMPO DE' FIORI Booth No.: 2.1A06 The CAY Island series replicates the natural shape of islands through fluid curves, resembling coral reefs exposed at low tide or a private island gently wrapped by time. It carves out a tranquil private haven amid bustling cities. VALORO Booth No.: 3.1A02 The Parantoux sofa is upholstered in selected Italian full-grain top-grain cowhide with a soft misty rose brown tone, feeling velvety soft yet elastic. Its front-and-back adjustable backrest, paired with lumbar and small head pillows, precisely supports the head and neck. A hidden electric footrest extends leg support, and the mechanism operates completely silently, sliding in and out without disrupting the peaceful atmosphere of the room. YESWOOD Booth No.: 2.1B08 The Kunpeng Sofa combines the premium texture of solid wood with superior upholstery comfort. It adopts RuiMai zero-wall power frame, paired with luxury genuine leather and North American FAS-grade black walnut wing solid wood panels. The oriental imagery of "Kunpeng spreading its wings" is integrated into the electric structure. The electric mechanism runs silently and steadily, enabling quiet comfortable adjustment with invisible technology. Model 5596 CAY Island Parantoux Sofa Kunpeng Sofa Why Modular Design Matters More Modular, stretchable and fully detachable and washable—sofas are no longer fixed forms, but flexible "building blocks" that grow alongside family life cycles: a two-seater for single apartments, convertible into an L-shaped sectional after marriage, and separable into two independent seat units as children grow up. This year's new modular products in the pavilion have evolved from "functional combinability" to "visually harmonious combinations". Domicil Booth No.: 2.1B01 The patented swivel and fold mechanism of the Swerve series enables seamless one-click switching between sofa and chaise lounge, operable with one hand without disassembly. The backrest adjusts to two forward and backward angles, ideal for movie-watching, reading and napping. Flattened armrests widen the seating area, while upright armrests serve as cushions or pillows. All modules can be freely split and recombined. Suspended high legs allow robot vacuum cleaners to pass underneath. German precision craftsmanship is ergonomically tested to deliver stable, comfortable seating. ARIS Booth No.: 2.1A22 The Sagras sofa outlines soft, orderly modern home aesthetics with rounded understated lines. Its slightly curved backrest and plump seat cushions form a relaxed, elegant visual proportion, naturally fitting the shoulders, neck, waist, back and legs when leaning against, providing steady, effortless full-body support. The modular structure flexibly adapts to varying space layouts and life rhythms, catering to solo relaxation, family gatherings and guest receptions. The warm caramel brown and tranquil dusk grey infuse layered fashion into homes, while its rounded, corner-free silhouette balances aesthetic appeal with daily safety and comfort. YUFU FURNISHING Booth No.: 2.1B06 The multi-functional sofa adopts a freely combinable modular design for customizable spatial dimensions. One side integrates a small side table with cup holders, while the other side features a large-capacity hidden storage compartment. Upright vertical long-pile plush fabric with full high-resilience filling delivers excellent enveloping comfort for sitting and lying. It integrates innovative functions including pull-out sleeper bed, storage, ambient light strips and charging power strips. Supported by KD knockdown craft, it boasts prominent advantages including reduced packaging volume, higher container loading capacity and lower logistics costs. GC SOFA Booth No.: 2.1C28 The GC2719 cream off-white fabric sofa bed features rounded full silhouettes and fine textured fabric. Its modular design with thick zoned cushion modules delivers precise comfortable support. Large detachable back cushion modules enhance back support and simplify cleaning and maintenance. The convertible sofa bed module transforms forms with one simple switch, easily toggling between sitting and lying modes. All modules are independent yet freely combinable. Its minimalist elegant silhouette matches various interior styles, making it an ideal modern living room piece balancing appearance and comfort. ZOY Booth No.: 2.1B05 The newly launched oversized modern electric reclining modular sofa undergoes meticulous polishing in both exterior design and internal functions, balancing decorative aesthetics and practical performance. Whether paired with American retro, light luxury minimalist or modern-style living rooms, it instantly elevates the overall home tone and creates a home entertainment experience comparable to professional screening rooms. Swerve Multi Function Sofa GC2719 Cream Off-White Fabric Sofa Bed Modern Electric Reclining Modular Sofa Why Original Design Becomes a Brand Asset The original design language of Chinese sofas is no longer limited to "distinctive appearance". While achieving localized aesthetics, brands take ergonomics and seating support as core rigid indicators. Solid craftsmanship accumulated from export business, coupled with rising domestic aesthetic confidence—new-generation brands no longer produce low-cost copies of European styles. Instead, they sell sofas worldwide through clear, distinctive design language created by Chinese designers. NEST SPACE Booth No.: 2.1A10 The Fjord series draws design inspiration from unique Nordic natural landscapes, particularly those in Norway and Sweden, renowned for magnificent, tranquil and primitive natural beauty. The modules can be arranged in straight lines to form neat, spacious layouts, or curved to create warm conversation zones, and even scattered separately to meet diverse usage scenarios. M.T Booth No.: 2.1A07 25S25 Light Coffee Latte Sofa delivers soothing Japanese log-style aesthetics, shedding complicated decorations to return to laid-back minimalism. Plump segmented back cushions and wide, soft resilient seat cushions perfectly fit waist and back curves to evenly disperse full-body pressure. Exposed solid wood frames blend softness and rigidity, breaking the dull heaviness of traditional sofas. Rooted in oriental life philosophy, its original design reconstructs sofa forms with a "minimalist" mindset, relying on precise proportional control and ergonomic support rather than elaborate decorations to convey sincere craftsmanship. It represents Chinese designers' localized interpretation of modern minimalist aesthetics. ZhongYuan Booth No.: 2.1C50 The Cloud Fluff-Puff Curved Leisure Sofa is inspired by "bringing clouds indoors". Designers draw creative references from floating clouds and soft freshly baked puffs, abandoning the cold, function-first design logic of traditional furniture and prioritizing the emotional value brought by furniture. It conveys sincere craftsmanship through precise proportional control and ergonomic support, serving as Chinese designers' localized interpretation of modern minimalist aesthetics. Fjord 25S25 Light Coffee Latte Sofa Cloud Fluff-Puff Curved Leisure Sofa Why Export Heritage Becomes China's New Moat China's sofa industry is far more than the world's manufacturing base. Export enterprises with mature experience now feed insights on seating habits, material standards and compliance requirements for European, American, Japanese, South Korean and other global markets back into product R&D. At Hall 2.1 Sofa Pavilion this year, a batch of brands with complete global supply chain capabilities bring best-selling product structures and comfort logic verified by overseas markets, making "Quality Made in China" the core competitiveness of their products. HM Booth No.: 2.1A13 The HM1642 sectional sofa with pull-out sleeper bed and chaise storage balances practicality and design sense within a modern minimalist silhouette. Drawing on profound manufacturing expertise, it integrates cost-effectiveness with original functional design. Original functional structures including pull-out sleeper beds and storage chaise sections demonstrate manufacturing enterprises' progress toward design value extension. Instead of copying European templates, it defines products based on real demands of Chinese families. FRIVITY Booth No.: 2.1C11 The G01 power sofa is upholstered in premium scratch-proof, wear-resistant and waterproof fabric, with extendable footrest and reclinable backrest, combining outstanding seating comfort with highly competitive pricing. Catering to the dual global mass market demands for "functionality and durability" with cost efficiency and long service life, it reflects the product development mindset of export-oriented manufacturers. YiShang Booth No.: 2.1A18 The compressed sofa is wrapped in breathable soft striped corduroy fabric that is skin-friendly and resistant to pilling, filled with high-density sponge that fits human body mechanics and effectively relieves physical fatigue. It delivers soft seating comfort and long-lasting durability for both prolonged sitting and lying rest, and requires no complicated assembly. This combinable modular sofa is shipped under vacuum compression packaging; simply pat each module after unpacking for full rebound and shaping. LUCKY Booth No.: 2.1C32 The multi-functional maternity & baby chair pioneers an electric lift-and-fold armrest function, paired with an electric headrest to provide ample head support. Built-in Bluetooth speakers on both sides soothe the mind and body, while an airbag lumbar support system delivers both massage and waist reinforcement.

CIFF Shanghai | Three Major Trends Shaping Urban Outdoor Furniture
CIFF Shanghai | Three Major Trends Shaping Urban Outdoor Furniture
CIFF Shanghai | Three Major Trends Shaping Urban Outdoor Furniture Nowadays, people have begun to reinterpret the meaning of "outdoor space". It may be a private balcony, a terrace, a rooftop garden, or public areas within hotels, commercial districts and office parks. Amid fast-paced urban life, people yearn more than ever to reconnect with nature. Outdoor furniture is thus no longer merely a product category, but a distinct lifestyle in its own right. At this year’s Urban Outdoor Hall of CIFF Shanghai, visitors will witness far more than an array of new outdoor furniture launches — it marks a collective exploration of the Urban Outdoor concept. Outdoor furniture brands are answering three pivotal questions: Why has original design become core competitiveness for outdoor brands? How do materials shape the outdoor living experience? Why are more and more brands selling a complete "outdoor lifestyle"? From Manufacturing to Creation Marking the shift from “Made in China” to “Designed in China”, outdoor brands are redefining furniture through original design. With unique structural language and aesthetic philosophy, they endow every piece of furniture with an independent soul and emotional warmth. HIGOLD adheres to original design, integrating Eastern and Western aesthetics with masterful metal craftsmanship woven seamlessly into outdoor furniture. Its products are exported to over 90 countries and regions worldwide. CALLA features sculpted metal bases echoing the soft curves of whale tails, paired with plush cushions that deliver comforting embraces, capturing serene beauty inspired by the natural world.

Boasting simple and fluid lines, it fits perfectly for balconies, terraces and courtyards, interpreting modern European leisure aesthetics with its design philosophy of “minimalist and nature-oriented outdoor adaptability”. Committed to eco-friendly design and continuous innovation, Meiyaxin maintains stable cooperation with more than a dozen Chinese and foreign designers, driving brand transformation through original design. Its HUG series comes with an oversized U-shaped backrest that fits the natural curve of the human back, combining metal structures with artistic rope weaving. Spaced rope knots deliver rhythmic visual appeal, while warm tones and hand-woven textures infuse modern design with tenderness and ingenuity, conveying meticulous craftsmanship and heartfelt emotion in every detail. With nearly two decades of deep cultivation in the outdoor industry, VELIT takes quality as its foundation, upholding the ingenuity of refined craftsmanship and rigorous detailing. Breaking the limits of traditional functional design, the brand integrates profound aesthetic essence and ultimate comfort into its products. Inspired by nature and infused with the laid-back style of the Mediterranean, the Niza series features rich layered shapes and comfortable cushions, restoring the authentic and elegant beauty of outdoor furniture and serving as a natural medium connecting people and nature.

The KUMA series features rounded frames accented with delicate rope weaving on backrests for light, breathable comfort. Wooden armrest trim adds natural warmth, pairing airy woven surfaces with soft cushions to embody modern woven furniture aesthetics. DALA KUMA Material Innovation, Breaking Color Boundaries Outdoor furniture is no longer judged solely by UV and water resistance. Innovations in materials and color palettes have become new competitive battlegrounds for brands. From eco-friendly recycled materials and UV-resistant textiles to muted wabi-sabi tones and laid-back French black-and-white geometric patterns, brands are reinventing the visual vocabulary of outdoor spaces through materials and color. JINYUAN OUTDOOR LIVING operates a comprehensive furniture manufacturing enterprise covering over 130,000 sqm, led by R&D innovation with four independent integrated production systems.

A full knockdown (KD) structure reduces shipping volume, striking an ideal balance between material performance and logistical efficiency. Scenario-Driven, Complete Ecosystem A complete outdoor lifestyle cannot be achieved with just one table or chair. Authentic living experience stems from seamless integration of zones for shading, relaxation, dining and socializing. For this reason, more brands are moving beyond standalone furniture supply to deliver actionable, full-spectrum outdoor living solutions. By expanding from individual pieces to coordinated full product lines, brands build complete outdoor ecosystems, turning every courtyard, terrace and balcony into natural extensions of the home. Letright has served the outdoor furniture industry for nearly 30 years as a one-stop outdoor lifestyle solution provider, covering the full industrial chain of design, R&D, intelligent manufacturing and global marketing.

CIFF Shanghai’s Urban Outdoor Hall aims to spark discussions not only about furniture products, but about urban living itself. As cities grow denser, people crave deeper connections with nature. Balconies, terraces, cafés, hotels, office parks and commercial complexes are emerging as new vital living spaces — and the Urban Outdoor Hall of CIFF Shanghai perfectly encapsulates this profound shift. From original design breakthroughs and material innovations, from single furniture pieces to complete spatial solutions, from private courtyard life to urban public space aesthetics, what the exhibition presents is far more than a collection of new industry products, but an ongoing revolution in lifestyle. From September 5 to 8, we warmly invite you to visit the Urban Outdoor Hall at CIFF Shanghai. Immerse yourself in real-life spatial displays and discover the blueprint for tomorrow’s outdoor living. .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; }

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.

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. See you in Shanghai this September. .info-title-e9b2f { font-size: clamp(30px, 3.13vw, 60px); font-weight: 500; margin: 0; color: #000; } .info-e9b2f { margin-top: clamp(40px, 4.17vw, 80px); } .info-content-e9b2f { color: #000; margin: clamp(23px, 2.4vw, 46px) 0; font-size: clamp(15px, 1.56vw, 30px); font-weight: 400; } .info-grids-e9b2f { display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr); gap: clamp(23px, 2.4vw, 46px); } .info-grid-img-e9b2f { width: 100%; aspect-ratio: 1/0.6; object-fit: cover; } .info-grid-text-e9b2f { font-size: clamp(12.5px, 1.3vw, 25px); font-weight: 400; color: #898989; margin: clamp(12.5px, 1.3vw, 25px) 0 0 0; }

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.

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.
