For thousands of years, Guangzhou has been an open and inclusive commercial hub. The city attracts businessmen who bring in their innovation and pragmatism.
CIFF’s Phase-1 shall commence from 18-21 March 2023: consisting of home furniture, home décor, home textile, outdoor and leisure furniture.
And Phase-2 from 28-31 March 2023: consisting of office furniture, commercial furniture, hotel furniture and furniture machinery and raw materials.
Located in Guangzhou, CIFF also shares the city’s characteristics, welcoming visitors from all over the world. As a global trade fair hosted by a direct subsidiary of China’s Ministry of Commerce and a comprehensive platform that covers the entire chain of the furniture industry, CIFF plays a crucial role for China’s furniture industry to open up and trade worldwide, disclosing the huge opportunities of the vast Chinese market.
The 51st CIFF – China International Furniture Fair, the leading furniture fair in Asia, will provide a concrete response to the major changes and new challenges at play in the global furniture market, creating a new business model to innovatively conceive and manage a major international exhibition event.
This model is based on promoting the value of design, the synergy between the extraordinary domestic market and the continuing growth of exports, and the integration of offline and online promotion to optimise and complement the exhibition offering, giving a fuller representation of the entire furniture industry while still supporting the needs of exhibitors and visitors.
The 51st CIFF Guangzhou 2023 will take place in two phases reorganised by product sector at the Canton Fair Complex in Guangzhou Pazhou, covering a total exhibition area of 700,000 square meters and hosting 4,000 companies and brands.
The first phase, between 18-21 March, dedicated to the Home Furniture section, will present an optimized layout and innovative design trends, green and health products, digital and smart technologies, and quality lifestyle.
Area A will showcase home space, upholstered furniture and the “Design Spring CIFF Contemporary Design Exhibition” which will bring together the highest level of contemporary original Chinese design. Area B will focus on upholstery, dining and living room furniture; this aims to provide domestic and foreign buyers a one-stop shop for large-volume purchases and for OEM and ODM products. Area C is for home decor and home textile; it will offer domestic and foreign buyers a full range of soft furnishing products and design services.
The Poly World Trade Center Expo is for outdoor leisure, covering outdoor furniture, sunshade systems, leisure camping and other outdoor categories in full, creating a comprehensive sourcing platform with a leisure-style outdoor experience.
During the second phase between 28-31 March, the Office and Commercial Space section as well as CIFM/interzum guangzhou will use the newly built hall in Area D. The overall exhibition scale will be larger than that in 2019. Let’s expect an international event of high-standard, high brand-concentration and high-technology. Office and Commercial space will host top brands from home and abroad and lead the trend of green and low carbon. CIFM/interzum guangzhou will also present top names, showcasing cutting-edge technologies from the upstream industries.
Under the heading ‘Design trend, global trade, entire supply chain’, CIFF will promote top-class companies and products of interest to both the fast-developing domestic market and ever-increasing export demands, organising a large number of design exhibitions, seminars, and conferences that will enrich the fair with high cultural content, as well as B2B meetings and matchmaking activities both at the fair and online.
The upcoming CIFF is China’s first global furniture fair this year. It will give full play to its full-supply-chain advantages and build a communication platform for greater cooperation and business opportunities.
