Amid tightening resources and intensifying competition, the furniture industry faces profound transformation challenges. Unchecked consumption, redun- dant design, and mismatched supply and demand not only waste enormous resources but also trap the industry in internal competition. There is an urgent need for a smarter, more responsible philosophy of design and production. The Captivating Design special exhibition focuses on the core themes of “economy” and “sustainability,” aiming to explore a design wisdom of “just right”. Rejecting excess and superficiality, it advocates precise, efficient, and pragmatic design thinking, confronting the reality of internal competition and seeking optimal solutions.

Jointly created by the Shenzhen Institute of Interior Design and CIFF Shanghai, the Design FACE+ Theme Exhibition serves as an innovative experimental platform integrating industry, design, and research. With art as its core and design as its medium, it breaks through traditional industry boundaries and merges art, technology, humanistic insight, and daily life needs into a sustainable, narrative-driven design ecosystem — making art the central thread that connects everything. The 2025 second edition of Design FACE+ adopts the theme “The Awaken- ing of Art-Tech Perception.” Collaborating with the Shenzhen Original Art Association, Shenzhen Cultural Property Exchange, Shanghai YANG Art Museum, and Shanghai New Frontier Art, the exhibition continues its vision of “dual integration between art and design,” allowing art to return to life’s essence and design to embody the soul of art. By positioning art as the driving force for innovative living paradigms, Design FACE+ constructs immersive scenes that blend humanity, business, technology, and daily life. It aims to establish “Art × Design” transboundary solutions, showcasing pioneering practices in art derivatives, digital fabrication, and sustainable craftsmanship. The exhibition seeks to propel the evolution of home aesthetics — from function-driven to art-driven — while providing a replica- ble, cross-industry model for collaborative innovation.

The 25th Office Space Theme Pavilion breaks away from traditional exhibi- tion models with visionary concepts that integrate nature, sustainability, and technology. It presents a vivid panorama of the future office ecosystem, offering a fresh interpretation of modern work-life balance. The exhibition is structured around three key zones — Natural Green Realm, Planet Earth Space, and Acoustic Interface — together forming an immer- sive new work environment.
