The 2026 CIFF Shanghai will be centered on the theme “Design · Digital Intelligence · Sustainability,” with a continued focus on the evolving needs of industry upgrading. Design drives innovation. Digital intelligence accelerates transformation. Sustainability defines the future. These three pillars not only shape the direction of the fair, but also signal new pathways for the industry’s continued advancement.

At Hall 4.1, CIFF Shanghai presents Design Eden · Contemporary Design Trade Fair, bringing together leading design brands while supporting the rise of original creators. A series of curated showcases—including the HOTLINE Design Creators’ Joint Exhibition, IMAGINATION Contemporary Design Life Exhibition, Grand View Tea Ceremony, and Design Gravity Field—will focus on the designer ecosystem and commercial transformation, creating a multidimensional platform that fosters deeper connections between design and industry. The 2026 Golden Creation Award will also be launched, guided by the vision of “defining the value of design and empowering intelligent manufacturing in China,” to build an open, collaborative, and sustainable design ecosystem.

The 58th CIFF Shanghai will be held concurrently with CBD Shanghai 2026, advancing the integration of furniture and building materials. Together, they will create a comprehensive, one-stop platform spanning furniture, construction, materials, spatial design, and innovation—shaping a new model for the integrated home and built environment industry.
