Ambiente 2026

Frankfurt becomes the global meeting point for the consumer goods industry. Ambiente, Christmasworld and Creativeworld whcih take place simultaneously, creating one comprehensive platform for modern living, interior design, gifting, decoration and creative design. In 2025, the three fairs welcomed participants from more than 170 nations, with 4,700 exhibitors presenting their innovations to 148,000 professional visitors.

In 2026, the industry returns to Frankfurt to discover trends, order new collections and build international business networks. Divided among three main categories: Dining, Living and Giving, the fair will feature a series of talks, workshops and activations across all categories.

As the leading global fair for modern design and retail inspiration, Ambiente sets the tone for the year ahead. Under the motto Lifestyle Compositions, Ambiente presents product trends, brand showcases and experiential formats. The Ambiente Trends 26+—brave, light and solid—curated by bora.herke.palmisano, provide retailers with clear style orientation in Hall 4.1.

A major highlight is the Kitchen Show – Spot on Kitchen Essentials in Galleria 1 South, where live cooking demonstrations with well-known personalities bring the latest innovations from the kitchen and household sectors to life—an energetic hub for both retailers and the global food community. Italian brand Alessi will be hosting three activations throughout Ambiente, featuring a coffee-making masterclass with coffee expert Paolo Tallone.

In Hall 3.1, designer Katty Schiebeck curates the Interior Design & Architecture Hub, linking interior design, hospitality and sustainable material developments. The exhibition At the Table with Nature, created with the Healthy Materials Lab Europe, explores innovative, responsible materials. The expanded Interior Looks area adds a curated selection of furniture and interior brands.

Ambiente also celebrates 25 years of Talents, with a special exhibition of former participants who have become established designers highlighting the fair’s ongoing commitment to supporting emerging talent.

To strengthen its role in commercial procurement, Ambiente Projects guides buyers from HoReCa, hospitality interiors and contract business to the right suppliers through dedicated Special Interest labels. While Christmasworld brings emotion, decoration and festive concepts, and Creativeworld inspires with DIY and hobby innovations, Ambiente remains the central hub shaping the future of global consumer goods.
