Global Furniture Industry Trends 2026 from CIFF Guangzhou
Future home design will no longer be limited to a single furniture category; instead, it will expand creative boundaries through cross-disciplinary integration.
For instance, the “Artspresso” Soft Furnishing Aesthetics Exhibition, guided by the concept of “Breaking Barriers”, uses coffee as a metaphor to release multi-layered aesthetic experiences through artistic energy.
Furthermore, home design will promote cross-cultural dialogue in the future.
The “East Design Show”, for example, takes “Craft Art = Design” as its theme to explore the connection between traditional craftsmanship and modern design.
From an international perspective, “Design Dimsum” brings together 18 niche design brands worldwide, demonstrating the power of cross-cultural design.

Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development
CIFF Guangzhou Furniture Fair is held annually from March 18th to 21st. Low carbon and environmental protection have become important considerations in design. The fair has set up a themed exhibition area “Green East – Bamboo Culture and Life” to promote the transformation of bamboo from a “niche material” to “industrial-grade application”.
On the other hand, the outdoor-themed exhibition “Nature’s Echo – Return to Purity” takes “sustainable exploration” as its core section, showcasing international high-end outdoor furniture brands. Besides, CMF-related exhibitions also focus on green material innovation, indirectly promoting the low-carbon transformation of the entire furniture industry chain.
CIFF also practices the concept of environmental protection in promotional materials. For example, the 2026 fair brochures are printed on recyclable and reusable paper, reducing environmental impact from the source.
