ECIA General Assembly 2026: Bringing 22 National Organisations Together in Warsaw

Last week, the European Council of Interior Architects (ECIA) held its General Assembly 2026 in Warsaw, Poland, bringing together representatives from its 22 national organisations for a few days of collaboration, knowledge sharing and strategic planning.

The event was hosted by the Polish Association of Interior Architects, SAW (Stowarzyszenie Architektów Wnętrz), whose excellent organisation and warm hospitality helped make this year's gathering a success.

Celebrating a Stronger European Community

The General Assembly provided an important opportunity for national organisations to share their achievements, challenges and priorities, offering an overview of the current situation of the profession across Europe.

Delegates presented updates on their organisations, reflecting on the activities and events of the past year, the challenges they face and the initiatives they are developing to support qualified interior architects and designers in their respective countries.

These exchanges are essential to strengthening the connections between ECIA members, encouraging collaboration and sharing knowledge and experiences across national borders.

Looking Ahead: ECIA's Goals for the Coming Year

Alongside reviewing the past year's activities, members discussed ECIA's objectives, upcoming projects and plans for the months ahead.

The meeting reaffirmed the importance of working together to strengthen the recognition of the profession, support national organisations and continue building a unified European voice for qualified interior architects and designers.

With 22 national organisations working together, ECIA continues to promote collaboration and represent the profession at a European level.

Thank You to Our Members and Hosts

ECIA would like to thank all the members and national delegates who attended the General Assembly and contributed their knowledge, experience and commitment to the discussions.

A special thank you goes to SAW – Stowarzyszenie Architektów Wnętrz for hosting the event and ensuring its excellent organisation.

Every General Assembly is an opportunity to strengthen our shared vision and remind us of the value of working together as a European community.

Our next stop: Valencia, Spain, for the ECIA General Assembly 2027!

We look forward to continuing this journey together and welcoming our members again next year.
