There’s just a few more weeks to go before the Brussels Furniture Fair returns to Brussels Expo – from 2nd-5th November. Behind the scenes, work is still in full swing, but the spotlights are already in place, says the show’s organiser adding that the exhibition plan is 99% finalised, with “lots of exciting things in store this year” …
The first of those is the show’s fast-growing Outdoor Living segment, the seed of which was planted last year, and now nearing an international level. This year, the event will welcome Roolf Living, Wünder, Umbrosa, &Moss, Tooon by Toon De Somer, Royal Botania, Chill Line, Richmond, and Mazu, with more to come.
“Outdoor Living also comes with an outdoor drink,” adds the fair. “Our Belgian mocktail bar provides the necessary refreshment on this island.”
Brussels by Night continues to shine, too. The project, which began in 2022, has been bearing fruit for several years, says Brussels Furniture Fair, which is now seeing cross-pollination: “After Adova and Oschmann Betten last year and many Dutch players since 2023, we are seeing even broader international interest.
“This year, we welcome Schramm Betten, Harisson Spinks, le sommeil Français, Aya of Sweden and others. More and more manufacturers from our own country are also finding their way back to Brussels, including LS Bedding, Belgian Bedding and Meubelfabriek Jooken.
“But the most important thing, of course, is to offer continuity, which we do with our well-known exhibitors Revor Bedding, Equilli, Kreamat, Polypreen, Van Landschoot, Adova, Hilding Anders, Nill spring, Hulka, Oschmann Betten, Recor Bedding, Aya of Sweden, Mahoton, Carlina, Brinkhaus and many more.”
The show’s Contract range is expanding slightly each year, helping the event appeal to a wider audience. “We are noticing that more and more furniture manufacturers are focusing on the hospitality and office sectors in addition to furniture retail,” states the fair. “Among other things, these offer a foothold when less is being spent on home furnishings in the private sphere.
“Exhibitors who also focus on the contract market have long been recognisable at the fair, by the contract logo on the floorplan and nameplate. We address their audience directly by participating in events such as the hotel business event on September 25th and by direct mailing to buyers, interior designers and decision-makers within the project market.”
Next is the Belgian Design Island, now finding its way to Hall 5. “This hub for design and decorative objects is undergoing a slight makeover, with the design being incorporated into the creation of the entrance area,” states the fair organiser. “This move also fits in perfectly with our philosophy – give young people and talent a worthy opportunity.
“Students, young companies, established names and start-ups will all be featured here, and are ready to welcome retailers, manufacturers and interior designers alike.From now on, you can experience it all at the front of Hall 5!”
In addition to new collections, there will be many new faces and old acquaintances. New additions in 2025 include Bree’s New World, Bert Plantagie, Diva Divani, Feel Design, Gregoir, Benix, Puszman, Comforteo, Kristensen & Kristensen, Jakobsen Home, Sympa, RB Collection, Gautier, and Gami – the current exhibitor list can be found on the show website.
“What else is growing? Come and find out at our exhibition,” concludes Brussels Furniture Fair. “You are cordially invited!”
