ABIMAD – Brazilian Contemporary Home Furnishings Association (Brazilian Association of High-End Décor Furniture Industries)

ABIMAD – the **Brazilian Contemporary Home Furnishings Association** (Brazilian Association of High‑End Décor Furniture Industries) – is the main business association dedicated to Brazil’s high‑end furniture and décor sector. Founded in May 2003 by 37 executives from the Brazilian furniture industry, it was created to strengthen contemporary and upscale home furnishings brands, improve international competitiveness, and consolidate São Paulo as a key Latin American hub for décor and interior design trade.

Over the years, ABIMAD has grown from a small group of manufacturers into a nationwide network of premium décor and furniture producers, representing companies focused on living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, outdoor furniture, and decorative accessories. ABIMAD’s core activity is organizing the **ABIMAD trade fair**, a professional, invitation‑only show that gathers Brazilian manufacturers and qualified buyers from Brazil and abroad.

The event is held twice a year in São Paulo (summer and winter editions), providing a curated environment for retailers, interior designers, architects, importers, and project specifiers to source new collections and negotiate with leading brands. Each edition showcases launches in furniture, lighting, textiles, decorative objects, and accessories, with strong emphasis on contemporary design and high perceived value.

The association invests in trend curation, international promotion of Brazilian design, and relationship programs that connect its member industries with domestic and international markets. By maintaining a focused, B2B‑only format, ABIMAD offers exhibitors predictable, high‑quality deal‑making and offers visitors a concentrated overview of Brazil’s premium décor industry in a single venue.

With almost two decades of continuous editions, ABIMAD has become a reference platform for the country’s high‑end home décor trade calendar.
