Hardware for furniture, upholstery, kitchen, coatings and furnishing systems.

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.

PerfectSense Feelwood painted panels by Egger: matt and pleasant-to-touch surfaces
Egger, the Austrian manufacturer of wood-based materials, has expanded its range of PerfectSense painted panels, which was successfully launched on the market in 2015. In addition to PerfectSense Premium Matt and Premium Gloss, the company, thanks to investments in a second production line at its plant in Brilon (DE), now also offers the new PerfectSense Feelwood and PerfectSense Texture.
 

PerfectSense Feelwood coated panels


Presented at the last Sicam, the innovative PerfectSense Feelwood painted panels combine a matte coated surface with Feelwood finishes that are synchronized with the decor image. The reduced gloss level gives the wood reproductions greater depth and a natural color play.

The PerfectSense matte coating system gives the surface a pleasant feel and matte appearance, as well as anti-fingerprint properties that make it particularly easy to clean. PerfectSense Feelwood painted panels can be used in a wide range of vertical applications, particularly in kitchens and bathrooms - environments that require furniture and furnishings that can withstand moisture and heat.

PerfectSense Feelwood painted panels were awarded the Red Dot Award:Product Design 2021 for high design quality and the "Winner" award at the German Innovation Awards 2021.
 

PerfectSense Texture coated panels


The trendy matte look can also be found in PerfectSense Texture panels, a matte painted surface on a sustainable, cost-effective chipboard.

As with the PerfectSense Feelwood painted panels, we also find the warm, velvety tactile characteristics and fingerprint-resistant properties here. PerfectSense Texture is particularly suitable for use in frames and sliding door elements.
