PIFS 2025: Highlighting Filipino Craftsmanship in a Growing Furniture Market
The Philippine International Furniture Show (PIFS) 2025 took place from March 7 to 9, bringing together the best of Filipino craftsmanship in a landmark industry event. Held through the collaboration of the Cebu Furniture Industries Foundation (CFIF), Chamber of Furniture Industries of the Philippines, Pampanga Furniture Industries Foundation, Philippine Institute of Interior Designers, and Global-Link MP, this year’s show reinforced the country’s position as a rising player in the global furniture market.
As one of the most anticipated furniture trade shows in Southeast Asia, PIFS 2025 showcased the creative and manufacturing excellence of furniture makers from Manila, Pampanga, and Cebu, alongside local and international material and hardware suppliers.
A highlight of the event was the PIFS Design Awards held on March 7, recognizing exceptional design and innovation across the industry. Among the notable winners was Hacienda Crafts, a Cebu-based company known for its handcrafted, sustainable pieces.
As part of its mission to strengthen international connections, CFIF proudly exhibited to promote Cebu Furniture Connect—a B2B e-sourcing platform that connects global buyers, interior designers, and specifiers with top Cebu furniture manufacturers. The platform supports the digital transformation of the industry and opens new opportunities for trade and collaboration.
Special thanks go to:
Coast Pacific and Hacienda Crafts – for providing beautifully curated furniture pieces for the booth
Filtra Timber – for the elegant beechwood flooring installation, adding a natural, sustainable touch to the exhibit space
PIFS 2025 was more than a trade event—it was a powerful testament to the creativity, resilience, and export potential of the Philippine furniture industry. As global interest in sustainable, handcrafted furniture continues to grow, Cebu and the rest of the Philippines are well-positioned to meet demand.
Thank you to all who made this event a success!
