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.

Elleci wins iF Design Award 2025 for Mixology and Laundry

Once again this year, Elleci, a company that has been studying, designing and producing sinks, washbasins and furnishing accessories for the kitchen and bathroom for more than 30 years, was awarded an important recognition: in fact, it won the iF Design Award 2025 for no less than two products, the Mixology workstation and the innovative Laundry washbasin.

Awarded by iF International Forum Design GmbH, the prize, with nearly 11,000 entries from 66 countries, once again proves to be one of the world's most prestigious design competitions. The jury, composed of 131 independent professionals and experts in the world of design, selected the projects that stand out for design excellence and quality.

 

Mixology: conviviality in the kitchen

Mixology is the innovative workstation designed to combine cooking and bartending, responding to new trends in domestic conviviality. An icon of Elleci's new Élite Kitchen line, Mixology features two bowls with low dividers, dual water management and three worktops to form two independent workstations equipped with many multifunctional accessories that interact to juxtapose the figure of the chef with that of the bartender.

With Mixology, Elleci redefines the kitchen environment for a new sociability in the home, overcoming the distinction between domestic and professional environments and embracing the innovative concept of co-living and co-housing, based on sustainability, ecology and sharing.

Functional design and strong aesthetic connotations are realized in this innovative project, made even more valuable by the use of Keratek, a premium composite material enriched with nanotechnology that guarantees high performance in terms of beauty and strength.

Laundry: functionality and aesthetics

Laundry is the innovative washbasin, made of Duratek, designed for home laundry. Featuring an extra-deep basin, effective organization of the work space, and a unique multifunctional accessory, Laundry furnishes the service environment in a functional way, without sacrificing aesthetics. The line is square, but at the same time soft, making it a modern washbasin in which efficiency, ergonomics, and design come together.
