CIFF Guangzhou 2026 to Highlight Sustainable Office and Commercial Spaces

The forthcoming Office & Commercial Space exhibition at the 57th China International Furniture Fair (CIFF) Guangzhou is set to demonstrate how sustainability can be translated into practical, large-scale applications for work and public space design.

Taking place at Canton Fair Complex during Phase 2 of the trade fair at the end of March 2026, the event is not only aligned with CIFF’s overall theme of CONNECT.CREATE, but also with China’s green development strategy by incorporating low-carbon principles into its exhibition space.

Visitors to the exhibition can expect to experience the future of work and public spaces – a showcase of a green office ecosystem that integrates materials innovation, product design and spatial solutions through three major sectors: Office Environment, Office Seating, and Public Commercial Space.

Office Environment: “Green Office” as the New Standard

The Office Environment sector will feature an extensive range of office furniture and supporting products, focusing on human-centred design, low-carbon development and digital integration. Brands such as Sunon, TIANTAN, VICTORY, QUAMA, SAOSEN, Jongtay, HONGYE, Kinwai, LOCTEK, and COFEMO are to present these sustainable, technology-driven innovation.

Particular emphasis will be placed on two fast-growing segments. The healthcare and elderly care segment will showcase intelligent nursing beds, age-friendly furniture and integrated healthcare environments, in line with demographic trends and policies promoting the incorporation of medical services, elderly care, and wellness.

At the same time, the smart office segment will exhibit solutions that combine ergonomics and IoT technology while offering new ideas to enhance office experiences, including height-adjustable desks, health-focused seating and intelligent meeting systems.

Office Seating: Towards Active Physical Adaptation

Presenting the latest developments in ergonomics, scenario adaptation, intelligent interaction and sustainable design, the Office Seating sector will feature intelligent adaptive chairs, dynamic balance seating and environmentally friendly solutions.

Featuring brands including KOKUYO, Lamex, HENGLIN, GTChair, ENOVA, Merryfair, Benithem, and Bestuhl, these products demonstrate how comfort, aesthetics, and functional innovation are integrated into greener, healthier and smarter office spaces. They also highlight how office seating is shifting from passive support to active health promotion.

Public Commercial Space: Of Sustainability, Technology and People-Centred Design

The Public Commercial Space sector will focus on public space solutions for schools, healthcare facilities, hotels, commercial complexes and transport hubs through brands such as LEADCOM, Hongji, Huimei, EDUNESTCO, Senchuan, and New Century.

These offerings, including modular rapid-installation systems, low-carbon materials, intelligent space management platforms and healthy environmental control systems, advance efficiency, resilience and human-centred design.

Promoting Sustainability and Shared Value Through Design

This year’s Office & Commercial Space exhibition will feature the expanded CIFF Charm Road 2.0, a flagship project providing both visitors and exhibitors with an immersive experience where design turns sustainability principles into tangible market value while defining the spaces of tomorrow.

The exhibition will also include themed platforms such as Linking Design Star, Design Art Culture, and the Guangzhou Office Environment Theme Pavilion.

Additionally, as a platform that connects designers, distributors, public institutions and international buyers, CIFF will organise initiatives like CIFF Interbiz Club, international promotions, and business matching, ensuring robust and globally connected value chains in the furniture industry.
