Furnishing Idea is the portal dedicated to the furniture and furnishing industry, designed to bring together different professionals such as architects, designers, carpenters, furniture makers and manufacturers active in the furniture market who represent the reference point in terms of innovation and quality of the product offered. On the other hand, the portal aims to provide a valid information service focused on products, projects, events and fairs and everything that revolves around the world of components, semi-finished products and accessories for the furniture industry.

 

The portal is divided into different sections where you can explore the different products according to different categories, get in touch with manufacturers, download catalogues to keep up with industry trends and watch videos of interviews with the best professionals and manufacturers.

 

In the articles section you can find all the information about the most innovative product technologies, such as furniture materials, furniture accessories and systems, furniture machinery, furniture hardware, manufactured by manufacturers with a solid experience in the field. In the companies section there is an overview of the manufacturers registered on our portal, divided by product category, where you can contact us for any request. Our portal also has a special catalogues section to allow professionals and operators in the sector to view in a practical way all the catalogues relating to the various products (furniture hardware, upholstery materials, furniture paints, etc.). In addition, to allow easy consultation of the products, our portal has reserved a product section, organized by categories, where you can find out about the technical characteristics, materials and functionality of each product. The video section, on the other hand, presents numerous video interviews given by professionals and manufacturers that report news, insights and informative content on the best technologies in the sector.

 

In addition, to keep you constantly informed you can also consult our Journal section which contains all the Furnishing Idea magazines dedicated to the furniture and furnishing industry, such as the edition dedicated to Sicam or Interzum, two of the most important trade fairs in the sector. The magazines can be consulted from the portal or easily downloadable in pdf format.

 

Thanks to the trust placed in us by many manufacturers, our portal is now recognized both nationally and internationally. In fact, there are already many internationally recognized and established companies in the sector, including the AIPEF group (Italian Flexible Expanded Polyurethanes Companies) which promotes scientific information on the use of flexible polyurethane foam in the sectors in which it is used.

Acrystone acrylic finishes by Verinlegno: effective on the surfaces of any domestic environment
Verinlegno's new Acrystone acrylic finishes are solutions that make the most of the essence of wood, whether solid or veneered, highlighting its nature, structure and pores. They also protect the wood from natural oxidation and reduce any variations in shade due to exposure to sunlight.

 

Finishes that comply with the UNI 11216 standard


The Acrystone series of opaque bicomponent finishes can be used as a base-coat and are suitable for open-pore coating cycles for natural and light-colored woods.

The extremely high level of performance makes the entire series compliant with the UNI 11216 standard: in fact, these coatings are effective on the surfaces of any domestic environment (bedroom, bathroom, kitchen), whether horizontal or vertical.
The most important feature is the surface hardness, as demonstrated by the Taber abrasion test, where it reaches values in excess of 1 newton.  Unlike other acrylics on the market, destined, for example, for parquet, which record an average scratch resistance of 0.8 Newton, Acrystone UV Plus M11, the top of the new series, reaches 1.4 Newton, certified with the pictogram "three feet" required by UNI 11622 for high-traffic parquet.

It can therefore also be successfully used for public places or even airports. The entire series is also certified for contact with children, including toys.
 

The three products of the new Acrystone line


Three products are part of the new range: Acrystone M09, the basic version of the series, is a two-component, transparent, opaque acrylic finish; Acrystone plus M10 has the same features, but offers a higher dry residue (30%); finally, Acrystone UV Plus M11 is extremely resistant to sunlight thanks to special filters dedicated to ultraviolet rays.
