The Next Chapter in Furniture Design

Returning for its second edition following a successful debut in 2025, the exhibition brings together emerging and established designers, galleries and editors from around the world. It presents realised furniture collections exploring new directions in collectible design, limited editions, craftsmanship, material innovation and conceptual thinking.

Each participating designer is required to present a cohesive collection of Three Furniture Pieces that together express a clear design vision.

Taking place in a spectacular industrial building, Forward Furniture will bring together around 100 international participants in one carefully curated exhibition.
