CIFF Guangzhou 2021 will be held at the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou, China
Focusing on design trends, global trade and the entire supply chain, the China International Furniture Fair (CIFF) Guangzhou is repositioning itself to aid the sector’s development in the context of a global pandemic. The 47th edition of this major furniture design event in China aims to promote the value of design and create a new business model in touch with current events. The model is based on synergy between China’s internal market and the continued growth of exports, as well as integration of offline and online promotion strategies to offer an optimised and more comprehensive exhibition portfolio that adequately represents the entire furniture industry.
