The 57th China International Furniture Fair opened on Wednesday in Guangzhou City, south China's Guangdong Province, drawing together a record-high of over 5,100 exhibitors with eye-catching innovative products.

A major highlight of the fair is the complementary industrial loop formed by age-friendly home furnishings, smart elderly care, and rehabilitation nursing.

For example, one eye-catching product is a smart bed that uses AI-powered dynamic vital sign detection to capture real-time health data such as blood oxygen, blood pressure, heart rate, and deep fatigue index.

"We have a 6-minute smart sleep aid that consists of three stages: the first minute features low-frequency vibration, the following two minutes feature a baby-like cradle experience, and the last three minutes feature a full-body wave-like motion," said the exhibitor.

Closely following current consumer trends, the event this year features four special exhibition zones for the first time: health and elderly care, pet furniture, massage chairs and sofas, and new retail. As pets increasingly become members of families, many innovative new products are emerging in pet furniture and related accessories.

"If a pet gets a patch of the sofa dirty while using it, we can easily remove and wash that patch separately, extending the product's lifespan. We also have a very interesting dish rack with an observation window, allowing you to watch your pet eat – it's quite psychic healing," said an exhibitor who makes innovative pet products.

The fair is divided into two phases. The first phase runs from the March 18 to 21, focusing on residential home furnishing products, while the second phase will be held from March 28 to 31, mainly showcasing office and commercial products.
