Louvre Furnishings Group’s Global Home Carnival Highlights Trade, Culture And Promotions

KUALA LUMPUR, April 28 (Bernama) -- Louvre Furnishings Group, a leading brand in China’s furnishings distribution industry, has launched the 2026 Global Home Carnival in Foshan, offering a 21-day programme combining international trade, cultural exchange and consumer promotions.

Held alongside the Canton Fair and running through the May Day holiday, the carnival aims to attract global buyers while boosting seasonal consumption, according to a statement.

Since the event opened, delegations and digital creators from around 20 countries have visited the Louvre complex, touring the 22 themed exhibition halls.

Positioned as an extension of the Canton Fair ecosystem, the venue offers a structured service framework covering curated brands, selected materials, environmental commitment, quality assurance, transparent pricing and nationwide delivery.

On April 21, the “Foshan Wonder Night” event brought together nearly 400 international guests at the Louvre International Furniture Exhibition Center, featuring performances and cultural showcases blending global design and local elements.

During the May Day holiday from May 1 to 5, the festival will enter its peak phase with promotional activities such as prize draws, shopping discounts, rebates and product giveaways to enhance consumer engagement.

Beyond retail, the event integrates tourism, art and dining, with Yingge dance performances staged daily from May 1 to 3, alongside art exhibitions and international dining options.

According to the organisers, the carnival reflects ongoing efforts to connect international trade with cultural experiences while strengthening Foshan’s role in the global home furnishings industry. The Louvre complex, recognised as a national AAAA-level tourist destination, has also been featured on China Central Television.

With more than 26 years in the home furnishings sector, Louvre Furnishings Group has become a major sourcing and retail destination, welcoming over four million visitors annually and serving customers from more than 155 countries and regions.
