Shanghai is gearing up to host two of the world’s most influential furniture and design events this September, as Furniture China 2025 and Maison Shanghai prepare to welcome industry leaders, designers, and trade professionals. Marking its 30th anniversary, the dual exhibitions will transform Pudong’s SWEECC and SNIEC exhibition centers into a global hub for cutting-edge design, sustainable innovation, and international trade partnerships.
A Visionary Theme: “BEYOND NEXT”
