Redefining outdoor living – Where design meets ecology

As the global shift toward more sustainable and ecologically responsible outdoor living gains momentum, the 55th edition of CIFF Guangzhou is set to lead this transformation. Featuring an expanded and strategically enhanced Outdoor Furniture, Sunshade & Leisure sector, this initiative not only addresses the growing market demand for eco-conscious solutions but also solidifies CIFF Guangzhou’s status as Asia’s largest and most professional platform for the outdoor furniture industry

The Outdoor Furniture, Sunshade & Leisure exhibition will take place from March 18 to 21, 2025, during the first phase of the 55th CIFF Guangzhou. Spanning an impressive 50,000 square meters across Halls 9.1-13.1 and Pavilions 10.0-11.0 in Zone B of the Canton Fair Complex, the exhibition has now relocated to the first floor with a newly designed layout to accommodate over 350 leading manufacturers and brands, offering a comprehensive showcase that blends cutting-edge design with ecological responsibility.

Under the theme of “Exploration”, the exhibition is divided into three thoughtfully curated sections, each reflecting the evolving relationship between outdoor living and environmental consciousness. Halls 12.1-13.1 will spotlight Furniture Design, International Brands and Design Trends, while the 9.1 Gallery will highlight sustainable innovations in outdoor sunshade and raw materials. The expansive 10.1-11.1 and 10.0-11.0 Halls will focus on outdoor furniture, leisure products and camping solutions, illustrating how ecological principles can elevate outdoor living experiences.

A standout feature of the event is the “Nature’s Echo · Pristine Nature” themed showcase, curated by Tony Ho, founder of DAOSHENG DESIGN. Located at 12.1B08 in Zone B and the Middle Platform, this special installation will celebrate the seamless harmony between design and ecology. It will bring together premium international outdoor furniture products and leading Chinese brands, offering visitors a unique perspective on sustainable design.

The exhibition will feature pioneering brands such as HIGOLD, Sunwell, ALMA and more, each presenting their latest eco-conscious innovations. These showcases will highlight the industry’s dedication to sustainable development and environmental stewardship.

Covering all aspects of outdoor living—from furniture and sunshade products to garden decoration, ovens & stoves, and camping equipment—the exhibition demonstrates how ecological principles can be seamlessly integrated into outdoor spaces. This holistic approach reinforces CIFF’s mission to establish Asia’s largest and most professional outdoor home exhibition while championing sustainability and environmental responsibility across the industry.
