COINPAYMENTS accelerates APAC expansion with OSL Group partnership
As global economies evolve and expectations for healthier, greener and more people-centred environments continue to rise, office and commercial spaces are entering a new phase of transformation. Sustainability is no longer only an environmental duty; it has become a strategic driver connecting ecological responsibility with business performance and social value.
GUANGZHOU, China, March 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Office & Commercial Space exhibition, held during Phase 2 of the 57th of CIFF Guangzhou (March 28–31, 2026) at the Canton Fair Complex, positions itself as a forward-looking platform shaping a new generation of sustainable and intelligent workplaces.
Guided by the theme CONNECT•CREATE, CIFF Guangzhou translates sustainability into concrete business opportunities, moving from principles to practical, large-scale applications. The exhibition builds a green office ecosystem across three key sectors — Office Environment, Office Seating and Public Commercial Space — offering an integrated vision that links materials innovation, product design and spatial solutions.
Office Environment: Building the Green Office Ecosystem
The office environment is transforming through hybrid work, increased focus on health and well-being, accelerating net-zero strategies and the growing role of office space as an expression of corporate culture. In response, the Office Environment Sector focuses on human-centred design, low-carbon development and digital integration, positioning the "Green Office" as a new benchmark.
Located in Area A, this sector serves as a full-chain platform for office trend release. It presents a comprehensive range of office furniture and supporting products, with particular emphasis on two high-growth areas: medical and senior care, and smart office solutions.
The healthcare and elderly care segment aligns with demographic trends and policies promoting the integration of medical services, elderly care and wellness, showcasing intelligent nursing beds, age-friendly furniture and integrated healthcare environments. Meanwhile, the smart office segment highlights the convergence of ergonomics and IoT technologies through solutions such as height-adjustable desks, health-focused seating and intelligent meeting systems, outlining new models for future office experiences. Brands such as Sunon, TIANTAN, VICTORY, QUAMA, SAOSEN, Jongtay, HONGYE, Kinwai, LOCTEK and COFEMO represent this ecosystem of sustainable, technology-driven innovation.
Office Seating: From Passive Support to Active Health
Office seating is shifting from passive posture correction to active physical adaptation, driven by advances in adaptive technology, dynamic support and breathable, eco-friendly materials. Office chairs are evolving beyond basic lumbar protection to become integrated health solutions combining biomechanics, materials science and intelligent technologies.
Located in Area D, the Office Seating Sector brings together leading international and domestic brands, guided by the dual values of health and originality and presenting innovative seating aligned with sustainable principles.
The sector showcases intelligent adaptive chairs, dynamic balance seating and environmentally friendly solutions, highlighting progress in ergonomics, scenario adaptation, intelligent interaction and sustainable design. These products reflect a new stage of development in which comfort, aesthetics and functional innovation converge toward greener, healthier and smarter office environments.
Brands such as KOKUYO, Lamex, HENGLIN, GTchair, ENOVA, Merryfair, Benithem and Bestuhl represent this ecosystem of innovation in healthy and sustainable seating.
Public Commercial Space: Sustainable Innovation for Complex Scenarios
Public and commercial spaces are changing rapidly due to functional complexity, invisible technological integration, renewed public space value and the growing importance of sustainability and resilience. Space design is shifting from a functional carrier to a composite ecosystem combining people-oriented design, technological empowerment and sustainable operation.
Located in Area B, the Public Commercial Space Sector presents solutions for schools, healthcare facilities, hotels, commercial complexes and transport hubs. Exhibits include modular rapid-installation systems, low-carbon materials, intelligent space management platforms and healthy environment control systems, promoting efficiency, resilience and human-centred design.
Brands such as LEADCOM, Hongji, Huimei, EDUNESTCO, Senchuan and New Century represent this ecosystem of innovative public space solutions.
Design-Driven Sustainability and Shared Value
In 2026, CIFF Luminous Path 2.0 expands its role as a flagship project embedding ESG principles into design, manufacturing and consumption. Its closed-loop approach—combining green design, low-carbon production and circular use—turns sustainability into an immersive experience for both visitors and exhibitors.
The exhibition is further enriched by themed platforms such as Linking Design Star, Design Art Culture and the Guangzhou Office Environment Theme Pavilion, which connect culture, business and innovation, showing how design can translate sustainability into market value while shaping future spatial narratives.
CIFF Office & Commercial Space aligns with China's green development strategy by integrating low-carbon principles into booth construction, material selection and visitor experience, promoting sustainable lifestyles and encouraging a shift from awareness to action.
At the same time, CIFF reinforces its role as an industry connector, linking designers, distributors, public institutions and global buyers through initiatives such as CIFF Interbiz Club, international promotions and business matching, and building resilient, internationally connected value chains.
Standing at the intersection of industrial transformation and social responsibility, CIFF Guangzhou 2026 Office & Commercial Space defines a future where green is the foundation, intelligence is the engine and collaboration is the goal.
