Ambiente returns to the Frankfurt Fair and Exhibition Centre from 6 to 10 February 2026, reaffirming its role as the world stage for interior design, hospitality and lifestyle trends. With new forums, curated showcases and immersive experiences, the event offers a dynamic platform where industry players come together to shape the future of living environments.
Ambiente Living will once again be the central hub for interior designers, architects, contract furnishers and designoriented retailers. The hall 3.1 merges lifestyle and workstyle environments, spotlighting brands such as Blomus, Ethnicraft, Serax, Orrefors Kosta Boda and Designletters. The Interior Looks showcase expands further with names like Bielefelder Werkstätten, Christine Kröncke Interior Design, Signet and Holtkötter Licht, alongside newcomers Acapulco Design and Müller Möbelfabrikation. In addition, the Talents are celebrating their 25th anniversary with a special showcase of past and present design works.
Ambiente 2026 also names Katty Schiebeck (pictured above) as its Ambiente Designer 2026. The Barcelona-based talent will create the new Interior Design & Architecture Hub in Hall 3.1, staging an immersive environment that blends hospitality vision with curated exhibitor products. Integrated within the hub is an academy offering expert-led insights on international contract business.
Complementing this is the Material Exhibition — At the Table with Nature, developed with Healthy Material Lab Europe, highlighting sustainable and healthy building materials. Industry dialogue will take centre stage at the Compass Talks on 5 February 2026, followed by the Media and Awards Day on 6 February 2026.
