Organizers frame the show as a marker of recovery for Valencia’s furniture cluster after last year’s floods.

Overview

  • The opening planned for Monday was postponed after authorities issued a red alert for torrential rain, and the fair opened Tuesday without further disruption.
  • The combined Hábitat and TextilHogar span eight halls with 1,046 brands, 584 exhibitors and more than 100 conferences, highlighting new hotel and home products such as Voolcan daybeds and Gomarco reversible mattresses.
  • Visitor registrations are forecast about 30% above 2024 and more than 3,000 buyers have been confirmed, according to organizers.
  • Eleven months after the DANA flood hit the AlfafarBenetússerSedaví area, 90% of affected firms made it to the fair and many report activity back near pre-crisis levels.
