INDX Furniture January 2025 show review | Cementing its status as a key business building event
Cementing its position as the UK industry’s destination business building trade show, INDX Furniture returned to Cranmore Park from 17-20 January 2025, welcoming an exceptional quality audience of buyers.
The ultimate destination for furniture retailers seeking inspiration and business opportunities, the show brought together an impressive roster of top brands, offering a dynamic platform for buyers to explore the latest designs across upholstery, living room, and dining room.
Organised by Associated Independent Stores (AIS), the UK's leading buying, services, and event group, INDX Furniture is commercially crafted by a team of experts led by Emma Rackley, Director of Furniture and Home, AIS, who reflects on the success of this season’s 4-day event:
Kicking off a busy calendar of 2025 INDX trade shows, the Furniture show was buoyant and uplifting and there was lots going on, including the unveiling of our new INDX branding.
This was also the first opportunity for visitors and exhibitors to see and experience our new modular stand system for an elevated exhibition look and feel.
Plus, with the help of our ‘big yellow tree’, we also launched our new ‘What 3 Words’ feedback campaign – look out for the continued coverage on our @INDXShows social media channels!
We focused the exhibitor selection in-line with key market trends and consumer behaviours – with lots of newness, product launches, innovation, and integrated technology.
The interactive Trend Area, in partnership with trend agency Scarlet Opus, was also very well received, with upholstery from Vilmers and cabinetry from Hooker Furnishings.
We’re straight into finalising the planning of INDX Beds which runs 29-30 April 2025, and then INDX Furniture will return on 27-28 August 2025.
Key returning exhibitors included HTL, Primavera, HND, Devonshire Living, Classic Furniture, Papaya, Wood Bros, Bell & Stocchero, and Torelli, while new exhibitors included Gwinner, Fortune Woods (Abode), Modulax, Nest, Sofa Source, and Rauch.
