Brazilian Furniture Project
The Brazilian Furniture Project is a joint initiative led by ABIMÓVEL (Brazilian Furniture Industry Association) in partnership with ApexBrasil (Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency) to expand the international presence of the Brazilian furniture industry through strategic actions focused on sustainability, competitiveness, innovation, and global positioning. Hundreds of companies participate in the project.
In the current cycle, the organizing entities are inviting not only furniture manufacturers and designers but also companies from the components and supplier segments to join Brazilian Furniture. The goal is to further extend the global reach of Brazilian furniture and strengthen the competitiveness of the “Brazil” brand worldwide.
In 2025, Brazil ranked as the world’s seventh-largest producer of furniture and mattresses, exporting more than US$769.03 million in finished products (excluding parts and components), representing a 0.8% increase compared to 2024.
