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.

Furniture electrification: with Amperos, Blum offers a state-of-the-art, simple and safe solution

At interzum 2023, Blum presented Amperos, a cutting-edge, simple and safe solution for the electrification of furniture. With Amperos, devices can be powered or recharged directly in the drawer, and light can be used to create an atmospheric ambience or useful lighting. 

The new product, which received the 'Best of the Best' award from the jury of the interzum Award 2023, combines design and functionality and is designed to improve the quality of living. 

 

Amperos: electrify furniture simply and safely 

Amperos is Blum's simple and safe solution for electrifying furniture. Processing, assembly and commissioning are easy and require no electrical expertise. Electricity is channelled safely and without suspended or visible cables into drawers or pull-out shelves. In this way, it is possible to light, charge and operate electrical devices inside and on the moving elements of the cabinet. Amperos is just the starting point for a wide range of creative applications that Blum plans to realise in the future.

 

Amperos AC: ideal as a single solution and for pull-out shelves 

Blum offers two solutions: Amperos AC and Amperos DC. 

Amperos AC is a 230 V single solution that can be combined with Blum pull-out systems and uses an existing interface at the Blum side rail of Legrabox and Movento. Retrofitting is also possible without additional space at the bottom or rear. Amperos AC does not require a back panel and is therefore particularly suitable for pull-out shelves for supplying automatic coffee machines, household appliances, printers or other equipment. 

 

Amperos DC brings light into drawers 

Amperos DC (pictured) is a well-designed 24 V infrastructure that provides power to entire cabinets. Drawers can be conveniently plugged and unplugged without having to loosen cables. The solution brings light into the drawers and also offers a charging option via the USB-C connector. The future-proof interface allows electronic devices to be stored in the same place and recharged at the same time. Thanks to a busbar at the rear of the cabinet, there is no longer any need to lay bulky wiring or replace batteries. USB ports and lighting can be operated and controlled via an app.
