The fair focuses on the high-end domestic market, holding a leading position among trade fairs in China and driving the development of the entire sector.
With its media framework and network, CIFF Shanghai connects exhibitors and retailers on a national level. This facilitates business and enhances brand visibility through a series of national promotional events. This year, the event has attracted 300 000 designers. They have the chance to participate in different forums, visit special exhibitions and be part of design activities. This is how CIFF has been fostering industry growth through the power of design.
It is important to note that in 2024, the CIFF Shanghai Design Pavilion will undergo a significant transformation. Its name is Design Eden- Contemporary Design Trade Fair. The Design Eden will reflect the strategic shift aimed at addressing the industry’s challenges and opportunities, adapting to the changing market landscape.
