Applications Are Now Open for the Stockholm Furniture Fair for Design Industry Manufacturers

Update – October 2025

In October 2025, the organizers of the Stockholm Furniture Fair announced that the trade fair planned for February 2026 will not take place.

The decision is based on Stockholmsmässan’s new long-term business strategy, which aims to build an even stronger and higher-quality professional platform within the field of design – through the Stockholm Furniture Fair, Stockholm Design Week, and Formex events. In consultation with partners from the furniture and design industries, the fair will be transformed into a biennial event, with the next edition scheduled for February 2027.

The Hungarian Fashion & Design Agency remains committed to supporting the international presence of Hungarian design professionals and will provide further information on potential new application opportunities at a later date.

The Hungarian Fashion & Design Agency, based on industry survey feedback, announces a call for applications for participation in the most significant furniture and interior design trade fair in the Scandinavian region. Stockholm Furniture Fair will take place from 3–7 February 2026 in the Swedish capital. The call provides an opportunity for design industry manufacturers to enter the Scandinavian market and strengthen their existing foreign market presence.

Stockholm Furniture Fair, which attracts over 30,000 visitors and 250–300 exhibitors yearly, plays a key role in the international representation of Nordic design and architecture. The event primarily targets a professional audience –  leading Scandinavian and global brands, design offices, manufacturers, distributors, and the professional media. At the heart of the event are innovative product design, sustainability, and new trends in the furniture industry and interior architecture. The exhibition is complemented by several professional events – lectures, installations, thematic presentations – providing opportunities for international networking and showcasing the newest trends. The fair serves as an internationally recognised platform that enhances the visibility of Scandinavian and European brands, designers, and manufacturers, while fostering new business collaborations and cultural dialogues.

For the design industry manufacturers selected through the call, the HFDA will provide an individual, independent stand at the trade fair, allowing them to shape their presence according to their own designs and branding, thereby effectively communicating their brand and products to the global professional audience. Presence at the trade fair provides a valuable opportunity for participants to engage directly with the international professional audience, strengthen their business networks, and showcase their latest developments and current industry trends.

Applicants who have previously gained experience at prestigious international trade fairs and who also possess a competitive, well-thought-out concept, a distinctive and recognisable style, and a professional set of communication tools will be given preference in the evaluation of applications.

The HFDA will evaluate the submissions with a professional advisory board. HFDA aims to support the professional success of Hungarian furniture and interior design manufacturers and help strengthen their long-term market presence in the domestic and international scenes. The development and future achievements of businesses with the strongest innovation and export potential can contribute to the growth of the domestic creative industry even in the short and medium term.
