Cape Town Furniture Week is a 4-day festival for contemporary furniture, lighting and homeware in the heart of the city. The third annual edition of Cape Town Furniture Week takes place from 19 to 22 February 2025, featuring open showrooms, special exhibitions, talks, factory tours and other events. The design industry and general public are invited to discover new products and ideas by exhibiting designers and brands, to connect with peers in the industry, and to engage in conversations around design, craftsmanship, innovation and sustainability.
The exhibition programme takes place across multiple showrooms and locations across 5 walkable design districts in central Cape Town. This part of the programme is open to the public, with no tickets required, and kicks off with Opening Night on Wednesday 19 February from 5pm to 8pm. Showrooms and exhibitions are then open to explore on Thursday and Friday from 10am to 5pm, and on Saturday from 10am to 2pm. An active programme of talks, tours and other special events will take place over the 4 days, with booking required for most events.

Exhibiting at Cape Town Furniture Week is by invitation or application, and includes independent designer-makers, emerging and established brands, and a growing number of international brands. Exhibitors take part within their own showrooms or studios, or host pop-ups or collaborations in other spaces. All venues are located within 5 design districts, including the Central City, De Waterkant, Kloof Street, Gardens, and the East City. The full exhibitor list for the upcoming edition will be released on Instagram as we approach February.
