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.

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.

Fuorisalone 2022: Between Space and Time, the theme of the edition scheduled from 6 to 12 June
The Fuorisalone 2022 returns from 6 to 12 June, coinciding with the Salone del mobile.Milano, the most important international appointment with design. The theme of this edition will be "Between Space and Time", a theme that will investigate the dimensions of Space and Time, offering an opportunity for reflection and a stimulus for all the companies that will take part in the event.
 

Innovation in processes and contents


Space and Time are two words deeply affected by the changes that characterize today's world, changes necessary to generate innovation in processes and contents.

Both words indicate the variables useful for evaluating our impact on the planet and for planning concrete actions to bring about change.

In this scenario, design is also asked to support the transition to sustainability, necessary to cope with the environmental crisis as pointed out during the COP26 in Glasgow. The role of the designer today is to help understand the complexity of reality, in all its nuances, designing tools at the service of communities, imagining the relationship between physical and virtual spaces, preserving natural resources, thinking about the future of our cities, of our homes, an increasingly human-scale future.
 

Brera Design District: Designing the present, choosing the future


Brera Design Week is also back, on the occasion of Fuorisalone 2022, with an edition that collects the challenges of contemporaneity.
The theme proposed by Fuorisalone will be declined in "Designing the present, choosing the future", that is, starting from the present to create an idea of ​​the future that is on a human scale, but also of nature. Finding solutions today to face the challenges of tomorrow: this is also the task of design. This is why we will talk about well-being and improvements for the quality of life, product innovation, research and development of new materials. Not only that, a look will also be turned to digital, between online and retail experience, and to NFT (acronym for non-fungible token), that is, those certificates that attest to the authenticity, uniqueness and ownership of a digital object, more and more also relevant in the world of design.
