On 4 and 5 June 2026, the international design and furniture industry will once again meet in Bergamo for the second edition of interzum forum italy. Organised by Koelnmesse Italia, this highly curated event represents a new benchmark for trade fairs, offering a compact yet powerful format dedicated to the furniture production and interior design supply chain. Following the success of the first edition, interzum forum italy 2026 returns with even broader ambitions, deeper content and a focus on innovation that embraces the entire living ecosystem.
A strategic meeting point for the supply chain
As the Italian outpost of the interzum global network, interzum forum italy plays a unique role in connecting markets, trends and professionals. With a strong international appeal (over 36% of 2024 exhibitors and 20% of visitors came from abroad) the event is rapidly becoming a reference point for manufacturers, designers and suppliers aiming to expand their network and seize new market opportunities.
The forum revolves around three core exhibition segments: Function & Components, Materials & Nature and Textile & Machinery. These categories provide a complete overview of the materials, technologies and services that shape contemporary and future interiors, from residential spaces to contract projects and beyond.
Beyond furniture: a look into the future of interiors
The 2026 edition expands its horizons beyond traditional furniture to explore the growing intersections between interior design and mobility. New thematic focuses include yacht interiors, motorhomes, caravans and transportation design, sectors increasingly seeking high-performance, sustainable and design-driven solutions.
This broader scope responds to the evolution of living spaces and consumer expectations. With interiors becoming more flexible, mobile and personalised, the event offers exhibitors and visitors a privileged perspective on emerging needs and applications across multiple industries.
Knowledge-sharing at the core: Talks and Matchmaking
The heart of interzum forum italy lies in its content-rich programme of Talks, developed in collaboration with leading Knowledge Partners such as CSIL, EFIC, POLI.Design, EBIA and the Digital Innovation Observatories of the Politecnico di Milano. These sessions will explore the main forces transforming the supply chain: from material innovation and design trends to ecodesign, sustainability, digitalisation and AI-powered production.
Among the key topics: the outlook of the Italian and international markets, new lifestyles and interior trends, colour and surface innovation, circular design strategies and smart technologies enabling new production paradigms.
In parallel, the Matchmaking agenda will offer one-to-one business meetings with speakers, specialists and other participants, creating powerful synergies between thought leadership and business development.
Recognising excellence: the interzum forum italy 2026 Award
Following its successful debut in 2024, the interzum forum italy award will return in 2026 with two key categories: Innovation and ESG & Sustainability. An international jury will select the most outstanding exhibiting companies, offering visibility and recognition to those leading the way in product development, ethical production and environmental responsibility.
An international hub in a strategic location
The event will once again be hosted at the Fiera di Bergamo, a venue strategically located near major motorway links and Orio al Serio International Airport. This ensures easy access for both Italian and international participants, reinforcing the event’s role as a Mediterranean hub for the design and furniture supply industry.
