The Future of Furniture: Highlights from Furniture China 2025 and Maison Shanghai

From September 9 to 13, 2025, the furniture industry will converge in Shanghai’s Pudong district for the prestigious 30th edition of Furniture China and the revamped Maison Shanghai. This year’s event is set to be monumental, featuring an expansive showcase spread across 50 halls within two major exhibition centers: the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) and the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center (SWEECC).

Key Highlights of the Event

Grand Gathering of Exhibitors and Visitors

The exhibition will host over 3,200 exhibitors and expects to attract around 200,000 visitors globally. This remarkable scale offers a unique opportunity for networking and exploring the latest trends in furniture design, technology, and sustainability. With a vast exhibition space totaling an impressive 350,000 square meters, attendees can marvel at cutting-edge furniture collections, design demonstrations, and sustainable solutions.

Focus on Outdoor Furniture

One of the standout features will be a dedicated Garden Furniture Pavilion, located in Hall E8B at SNIEC. Here, visitors can explore outdoor layouts that not only showcase weather-resistant sun loungers and modular seating sets but also include dining collections and eco-friendly accessories. This pavilion aims to transform outdoor areas into luxurious relaxation zones, aligning with the current trend towards outdoor living spaces.

Emphasis on Sustainability with ReMe ESG

As the industry increasingly values Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria in design and commerce, the ReMe ESG Sustainability exhibition at booth E5D12 in SNIEC will present an innovative green space. The exhibit will promote recycling and low-emission design through engaging installations and discussions, affirming the industry's commitment to sustainable practices.

Introduction of FMC Events

The Furniture Components and Materials (FMC) exhibition will run concurrently with Furniture China. This initiative aims to gather global leaders in furniture components, materials, and production technologies, showcasing the driving forces behind furniture manufacturing. Attendees from over 15 countries will display cutting-edge technologies that bridge design with industrial production, fostering collaboration and innovation within the sector.

Maison Shanghai's Design Trends
