2026 Guangzhou Design Week

Established in 2006, Guangzhou Design Week quickly gained recognition by receiving certifications from the three major international design organizations: IFI, ICSID, and ICOGRADA, thus evolving into a prominent design event recognized across Asia and internationally. The week has continually focused on empowering designers and enhancing channel value, adhering to its operating philosophy of 'Partnership for All'. Over 21 years, it has built a cooperative network across more than 40 countries and over 230 cities worldwide. The 2026 Guangzhou Design Week is set to further optimize its exhibition layout based on its predecessor, with the annual theme of 'Happiness'. It will feature a collaborative exhibition across three venues: the Poly World Trade Center Expo, the C Zone of the Canton Fair, and the Haizhu International Exhibition Center.

The event will spotlight contemporary living aesthetics, along with full-chain material selection and design. It is expected to attract over 460,000 visitors, ensuring a comprehensive upgrade of exhibits, optimizing the match between exhibitors and audiences to enhance trade interactions.

The venue will highlight high-end customization and material aesthetics, showcasing luxurious home furnishings, kitchen and bathroom systems suitable for private homes and new commercial spaces, as well as products related to complete home solutions. Soft decoration and lifestyle aesthetics will present intelligent home systems, various furnishings, and decorative items that guide lifestyle choices. The art and luxury aesthetics area will display exceptional contemporary artwork from domestic and international galleries, including paintings, sculptures, and design masterpieces.

With an innovative layout based on the core highlights of 'One, Two, Three, Four, Five', the 2026 Guangzhou Design Week aims to enhance visitor experience through improved traffic flow and interconnected exhibition sections, fostering the continuing growth of the design industry.
