POZNAN, Poland – Meble Polska 2020, Eastern Europe’s largest home furnishings trade show, is set for Feb. 25-28 here. Traditionally held in March, Meble Polska switched to February dates in order to attract buyers who also attend the marathon of trade shows every March in the Far East.
Furniture buyers from almost 70 countries attend Meble Polska each year. In addition to Polish retailers, the show in Poznan draws representatives of most large European buying groups and furniture chain stores, as well as many furniture wholesale distributors and online traders from other continents. In total, around 500 companies and brands will present their offers in 11 pavilions comprising the trade show.

Organizers expect more than 20,000 buyers for this year’s edition.
“In February 2020, the number of visitors is expected to be exceptionally high,” said Meble Polska Director Józef Szyszka in a release. “We already have confirmation that, thanks to the change of date, the highest-ranking furniture buyers, who did not have the opportunity to participate in our fair, will come to Poznań for shopping.”
Concurrent with Meble Polska are the Home Décor Fair and Arena Design event. Arena Design will two new exhibitions presenting the best Polish projects: “Forms of the Future – the Zone of Polish Designers,” which features interesting Polish design projects; and “Polish Design Vision,” a presentation of the best Polish brands with a focus on visionary, bold and innovative design.
In addition to affordable furniture made of composite board, the Meble Polska also will feature products made of solid wood and other high-end furniture, as well as upholstered furniture and mattresses, categories where Poland is an export leader.
Foreign companies, mainly from Eastern Europe, also will exhibit to reach a broader global audience. Manufacturers from Ukraine, for example, will cluster in a space dedicated to that country’s furniture sector.
Online buyer registration for Meble Polska 2020 is available here. Major furniture buyers can use a special service, where, apart from free admission to the fair and catering, they will be provided with help in organizing their arrival, accommodation, an invitation to a trade evening and unlimited access to the Meeting Point area, which provides comfortable working conditions and private areas for business negotiations.
