• FIND – Design Fair Asia 2026 Heads to Bangkok for its Fifth Edition

    29 September 2026

    FIND – Design Fair Asia 2026 will bring international furniture, interiors and design brands together with the architects, interior designers, developers, hospitality professionals and procurement teams shaping Southeast Asia’s built environment. Taking place from 26–28 November 2026 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC), the fifth edition of FIND will connect the international design community with one of Asia’s most dynamic markets for hospitality, property and design.

    The event arrives at a significant moment for Thailand’s built environment. More than 16,000 hotel rooms are currently in Bangkok’s construction pipeline, creating opportunities across furniture, lighting, surfaces, kitchens and bathrooms, decorative products and interior solutions.

    Growth extends well beyond hospitality. Thailand is an important market for branded residences, luxury retail, mixed-use developments and wellness-led destinations. The country accounts for approximately 26% of Asia’s launched branded-residence supply, with inventory valued at around THB205 billion (US$6.4 billion). Its luxury retail market is valued at approximately US$4.4 billion and projected to grow by around 5% annually through 2028 (CBRE).

    Geographically, Thailand sits at the heart of mainland Southeast Asia, connecting established and emerging markets across the region. Bangkok’s position as a major business, aviation and hospitality hub gives FIND a natural platform from which international brands can engage not only with Thailand, but with the wider Southeast Asian design and project community.

    FIND works closely with leading industry organisations including the Thailand Interior Designers’ Association (TIDA) and Thai Furniture Association (TFA), amongst other key industry groups.

    TIDA is featuring the Thailand Interior Design and Art by TIDA (TIDA by TIDA), with a centerpiece exploring “Thainess” under the concept “The Sanctuary of Flavours.” It will feature “The Orbit of Awareness” by Badintra Balankura of Context Studio, winner of TIDA’s Wellness Design Challenge “Sensory +1: Reimagine Longevity,” presented as a spatial experience at FIND.

    Intellectual Capital: The FIND Global Summit

    Complementing the exhibition floor, the FIND Global Summit forms the intellectual centrepiece of FIND 2026, bringing together 70+ speakers across architecture, interiors, hospitality, property and the wider built environment. The programme will be shaped around three Global Summit pillars, reflecting some of the most significant conversations influencing design across Asia today:

    01 – The Asian Design Authority | Beyond the Blueprint 

    Asia as a design vanguard rather than a canvas of imported influence: a mature ecosystem where international studios serve local authorship instead of dictating it. 

    02 – The New Vernacular | Salvaged. Engineered. Reauthored. 

    Southeast Asia is reusing and adapting existing structures and materials, combining heritage, new technology and circular design to shape the next generation of cultural, luxury and mixed-use projects.

    03 – Asia’s Sensory Sanctuaries | A Way of Living 

    How the region’s sensory and material language shapes experience well beyond the hotel room, into wellness, branded living and experiential interior architecture. 

    Connecting Buyers and Brands

    Alongside the exhibition and Summit, the VIP Buyer Programme connects qualified buyers with exhibitors through curated, pre-scheduled meetings. Focused on professionals with active projects and sourcing requirements, the programme is designed to turn discovery at FIND into meaningful specification, procurement and business opportunities.

    FIND – Design Fair Asia 2026 takes place from 26–28 November 2026 at QSNCC, Bangkok. Get your free trade visitor pass here and visit the FIND website to find out more.
