Building on last year’s success, this year’s edition will centre around three core themes: Home (encompassing all aspects of daily life), Gift (a celebration of self-care), and Travel (extending lifestyles beyond the interior). These themes encompass a wide range of product categories – including home decor, kitchenware, gifts, fragrances, accessories, and outdoor gear – to offer a diverse and integrated vision of contemporary living.
The fair also brings together celebrated brands such as Italy’s RFN, known for artisanal brass cookware; Hungary’s Herend, masters of exquisite porcelain; France’s L’Atelier du Vin, elevating wine rituals through their signature corkscrews; Spain’s Lorena Canals, creators of artistic rugs; and, Denmark’s Hein Studio, blending timeless and modern styles in home furnishings. These, alongside other domestic and international brands, collectively present a captivating vision of refined living.
Beyond the fairground, Interior Lifestyle China 2025 has partnered with the Commerce Commission of Jing’an District to co-organise the Jing’an Lifestyle Festival. The event features a curated city walk map and exclusive shopping offers, seamlessly connecting the fair with Jing’an district’s vibrant lifestyle retail scene. This initiative empowers brands to organically engage with a broader customer base.
Featured zones and concurrent events jointly unlock new lifestyle experiences
Ambiente, the premier fair in the lifestyle sector, will work with a distinguished curator to present the Ambiente Trends 25+ Special Showcase and develop a new retail space under the theme ‘Lifestyle Alive’. ‘Lifestyle’ refers not only to home decor, but also to a spiritual sanctuary; ‘Alive’, meanwhile, conveys an anticipation of future possibilities and beautiful forms. Using design language and materials, the curators will offer a localised interpretation of global consumer trends, inspiring buyers with new concepts and sourcing guidance.
The fair is also set to collaborate with Showroom Shanghai, a leading mid-to-high-end fashion buyer platform, to create the ILC × SHOWROOM Designer Accessories Zone. Set within an experimental and creative environment, the zone will present a broad range of materials, aesthetics and design approaches, providing buyers with a unique experience focused on pairing clothes and accessories to build personal style through self-expression. Participating brands include: Cremesu, InSalt., White Factory, Daartemis, and Alessia Firenze.
Reflecting the shift toward mindful spending among consumers, the Everyday Lifestyle Goods area will make its official debut, featuring budget-friendly, high-quality products that enrich daily life – from kitchen gadgets to home decorations.
The ILC Fragrance Salon returns as a centrepiece, gathering a bespoke selection of global scents, candles, and home gifts to create an aromatic journey. Key brands include Bugaia, Dessenze, Rose et Marius, Pip Studio, Ferm Living, Maison Tchin Tchin, and many more.
