Eurobois 2026: Shaping the Future of Sustainable Architecture with Wood

Eurobois 2026: Europe’s Premier Wood Industry Event Returns to Lyon With a Strong Focus on Sustainability and Innovation

From February 3 to 6, 2026, Eurexpo Lyon will once again host Eurobois, one of Europe’s most influential exhibitions dedicated to wood, woodworking technologies, and interior design solutions. The 2026 edition is shaping up to be far more than a traditional industry fair Eurobois aims to become a central meeting point for professionals seeking inspiration, innovative materials, and forward-thinking solutions for sustainable construction and design.

This upcoming edition positions Eurobois as a true idea ecosystem, where manufacturers, architects, designers, artisans, and contractors come together to explore how wood can transform future buildings, interiors, and urban environments.

Wood at the Heart of Sustainable Transformation

As Europe accelerates ecological transition efforts through regulations like RE2020, carbon-reduction strategies, and national sustainability roadmaps, the construction industry is searching for practical, low-impact materials. Wood naturally rises to the top of that list.

Its ability to store carbon, its recyclability, and its adaptability make it one of the most strategic materials for modern, responsible construction. Eurobois 2026 showcases how wood can reshape the future of:

• eco-friendly building systems

• reversible designs

• low-impact architecture

• modular and prefabricated construction

• sustainable interior concepts

The show’s expanded “Agencement by Eurobois” program further emphasizes a multi-material approach, combining wood with complementary materials to meet the evolving needs of interior designers, architects, and manufacturers seeking both function and refined aesthetics.

A Rich, Immersive Experience for Visitors

Eurobois 2026 promises a deeper and more interactive experience, offering several key highlights for attendees:

The Material Showcase

A forward-looking gallery presenting the next generation of materials for interior design, furniture production, and architectural applications. Visitors will discover innovative, durable, and eco-friendly solutions that are shaping tomorrow’s trends.

The Layout Laboratory

A dedicated space highlighting the newest interior design concepts and technological advancements from leading French manufacturers. This exhibit will provide a hands-on experience of cutting-edge developments in furnishing and spatial planning.

The Interior Designers Area

A premium networking environment designed to foster exchanges among professionals. Offering table service and a curated gastronomic menu inspired by Lyon’s culinary excellence, this area also hosts discussions, presentations, and daily gatherings.

“Just Wood It” Demonstration Zone

Organized by the Compagnons du Devoir, this special area will give visitors a behind-the-scenes look into the creation of a full wooden project—combining traditional craftsmanship with modern construction methods.

A Growing Community of Architects

Following a remarkable 139% rise in architect attendance during the 2024 edition, Eurobois continues to strengthen its role as a premier destination for architectural professionals. The 2026 show provides architects with unmatched opportunities to:

• explore industrial innovations

• collaborate with artisans and manufacturers

• discover new materials

• rethink the materiality of future projects

• implement wood in both structural and decorative roles

From façade solutions and bespoke interiors to modular units and high-performance components, Eurobois creates a space where architects can redefine their creative boundaries and explore groundbreaking possibilities.

A Unified Industry, A Shared Vision

Organized by GL events’ GreenTech+ division, Eurobois 2026 aims to unite the entire wood industry around common objectives combining economic performance, environmental responsibility, and social progress. The event reinforces wood’s position not just as a construction material but as a design language, an identity, and a driving force for sustainable development.
