The Carrefour International du Bois (Timbershow) is Europe’s leading trade fair 100% dedicated to wood as a material. Held every two years at the La Beaujoire Exhibition Center in Nantes, this business event—unique in Europe—will take place for its next major edition on May 30, 31, and June 1, 2028. It brings together the entire value chain: lumber, panels, hardwood flooring, siding, and wood-based construction solutions.
To showcase your wood species, highlight your low-carbon innovations, and attract international specifiers (architects, general contractors, and distributors), R2 Stand designs and builds your custom-made booth. We create warm, authentic environments capable of supporting the display of heavy structural elements.
Entrust your brand image to an exhibition design agency with expertise in industry events, eco-materials, and construction.
The Carrefour International du Bois is a highly specialized trade show where the nobility of the raw material must take center stage. The design of your booth should serve as a natural showcase that highlights the wood’s grain, texture, and technical properties. R2 Stand works with you to transform your booth in Nantes into a veritable giant materials library.
With more than 14,000 highly qualified trade visitors expected, this biennial event is the industry’s strategic business hub.
A booth designed by R2 Stand, featuring a strong visual identity and a design in harmony with nature, ensures you high-profile visibility.
It is the essential tool for attracting decision-makers who come to source sustainable materials for their future projects.
Whether you specialize in structural lumber, interior design, or forest products, your booth should reflect the quality of your woodworking.
R2 Stand showcases your products with custom-made booths, secure display racks for your large-format panels, and lighting designed not to alter the natural color of your wood species.
Wood is a living material: the sensory experience is the best way to convince specifiers.
At this trade show, visitors need to touch the material, appreciate its finish, and smell the scent of freshly worked wood. Your space should be designed as a place for sensory immersion.
We set up open areas for handling your samples, consultation counters, and seamless pathways to facilitate technical discussions with your wood engineers.
We have a thorough understanding of the visual aesthetics of high-quality materials and the specific logistical challenges of the Nantes Exhibition Center.
Coordinating the transport of your logs or giant panels, designing secure fastening systems, and briefing your sales teams presents a formidable organizational challenge.
R2 Stand handles the entire event production process.
From the initial 3D sketch incorporating the actual dimensions of your products to the handover of your booth in Nantes, we are your exclusive project manager.
Our in-depth knowledge of trade shows related to construction and industry ensures flawless technical execution.
With extensive experience designing spaces at events such as Batimat, Artibat, and Eurobois, we understand the standards of excellence demanded by builders and distributors.
This allows us to advise you on the best display options to showcase and highlight your products.
Each project is carefully planned from start to finish by our designers to create a unique, elegant architectural design that perfectly reflects the identity of your sawmill or panel factory.
A single technical point of contact to coordinate every step of your expansion into the Far West.

The circular economy supports the sustainability and profitability of your B2B communications investments.
By choosing R2 Stand, you’re opting for smart designs. The structure of your booth in Nantes can be dismantled, stored by us, and then repurposed for your future participation in other industry trade shows, thereby smoothing out your production costs.
Discover architectural designs featuring secure display racks, inviting trade show areas, solid reception desks, and interactive demonstration tools. Designs crafted to inspire confidence and a sense of ease.
Turning a booth into a truly immersive experience is R2 Stand’s specialty… and our clients say it better than we do
Displaying glued-laminated beams or solid structural panels is not something that can be done on the fly.
We design our booths with self-supporting bases and reinforced mounting systems, sometimes anchored directly to or braced against the booth’s framework, to ensure complete stability and keep visitors safe as they walk through the exhibition.
Absolutely, it’s actually our top recommendation for this trade show!
We work closely with your design firms or production facilities in advance to incorporate your own wood components (such as your decking boards for the floor and your trellises for the walls) into our manufacturing plans, turning your booth into a full-scale showroom.
A warm and welcoming atmosphere is the hallmark of the Carrefour International du Bois. We design spacious reception areas featuring long “bar-style” counters (often finished with your choice of wood species), complete with beer taps, catering stations (service areas), and dining tables to host your clients in a warm and professional setting.
Optimizing your marketing budget involves reusing your exhibition spaces throughout France.
This is one of R2 Stand’s specialties. Since most wood industry manufacturers also exhibit at the Eurobois trade show in Lyon, we design premium modular booths.
Your booth in Nantes can be dismantled, adapted, and reassembled for your other trade shows, thereby maximizing your return on investment (ROI).
The next major edition of the Carrefour International du Bois will be held on May 30, 31, and June 1, 2028 at the Beaujoire Exhibition Center in Nantes.
Since the technical integration of heavy materials requires significant advance planning, we strongly recommend that you begin designing your project at least 6 to 8 months in advance.
The Nantes trade show serves as a showcase for the circular economy, carbon sequestration, and sustainable forest management. It is therefore essential to promote these noble values through a temporary booth that is ecologically sound. R2 Stand is committed to working alongside you with a rigorous eco-design approach: reusable and recyclable materials, solvent-free paints, and the recovery of all post-event waste.
