At the recent AMC assembly at Ascale's headquarters in Castellón, Espacio Cocina SICI presented its upcoming edition and highlighted its expanded exhibition format and international scope. Daniel Marco, Director of Espacio Cocina SICI, emphasised the fair's synergy with Hábitat and Textilhogar, as well as the debut of the 360 by Cevisama initiative—a new, innovative format showcasing solutions from the ceramics and bathroom sectors for home, architecture, and contract markets.
Visitor profile & international reach
The fair attracts a highly professional audience, including architects and interior designers (38%), retailers (26%), contract sector representatives (24%), and buying groups (12%), with 14% of attendees from abroad. More than 3,000 invited buyers from around the world are expected, representing an investment of €1.1 million.
New participation formats
Espacio Cocina SICI 2026 introduces a range of participation options to accommodate exhibitors of all sizes.
- Free Floor: Allows brands to design and build their own stands, preserving visual identity and product presentation.
- Pre-decorated Stand: A modular solution with walls, flooring, and lighting, which can be customised by each brand for a professional presence with minimal effort.
Kitchen lab returns with strength
The Kitchen Lab will be renewed and conceptualised by designer Francesc Rifé, structured into two formats:
- Exhibition kitchen lab:
Kitchen settings of 40, 65, or 90 m² for national and international manufacturers, appliances, countertops, and accessories, in collaboration with interior designers to present complete kitchen proposals. - Kitchen lab experience:
Two functional 90 m² stands hosting official showcookings, turning the area into one of the most dynamic hubs for content generation and visitor engagement.
Sponsorships & integrated participation
Brands can leverage sponsorship opportunities across strategic Kitchen Lab spaces, including show cooking, talks, innovation zones, young designers' projects, and catering areas, associating their image with high-impact content. Complementary product companies (appliances, countertops, auxiliary furniture, taps) can gain visibility across multiple environments through sponsorship packages.
Financial incentives, including early registration discounts and favourable conditions for returning exhibitors, remain available to facilitate participation.
A major habitat event
The 2026 edition will form a comprehensive multi-sector event, expected to cover over 110,000 m² with nearly 1,500 exhibiting companies and brands, attracting leading professionals from distribution and the contract sector worldwide.
