Hive Furniture Show 2025 To Showcase Global Trends At Expo Centre Sharjah

The 5th Hive Furniture Show 2025 is set to open in Sharjah, showcasing the latest in home and office furniture trends. This event will take place from 15th to 17th May at Expo Centre Sharjah. Organised by OMG Exhibitions and Conferences, it will host exhibitors from over ten countries and attract trade buyers from more than fifty countries across the Middle East and Africa.

Jamal Saeed Bouzanjal, Director of Corporate Communication at SCCI, highlighted the show's importance in enriching Sharjah's economic calendar.

Office furniture trends lean towards ergonomic solutions for hybrid workspaces. The Hive Furniture Show will highlight these trends with a focus on comfort, innovation, and sustainability.
