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.

SAIB becomes part of the international Egger Group
On December 15th, SAIB and Egger signed an agreement which provides for the sale of 60% of the shares of SAIB to the Egger group.

Two large family businesses, both leaders in the market of panels and semi-finished wood products, join forces to grow together and offer customers an ever higher level of service.
 

SAIB ready to face new challenges

SAIB, which has just celebrated 60 years of activity characterized by constant growth in both national and international markets, is preparing to face new challenges with an important development perspective in terms of production capacity and expansion of the product portfolio.

The Caorso plant will continue to be managed by the members of the family that owns SAIB, Giuseppe Conti, Clara Conti and Sergio Doriguzzi.

"The integration of our company into the international Egger Group" - affirm Sergio Doriguzzi and Giuseppe Conti, managing directors of SAIB, "is part of a development project that will bring advantages both for our production and for our employees and collaborators. We will be able to benefit from the experience and network of a large Group that has always focused on production improvement and the pursuit of product quality. Both companies were founded and raised by families and their common values, first of all the attention to environmental sustainability and trust in their collaborators, represent a solid basis for building a future based on continuity and innovation" .

 

Expand the company portfolio with innovative products

Egger, a family business founded in 1961 and now present all over the world, is a 360° supplier for the furniture, furnishing and coverings industry.

Both companies share a passion for a material that offers infinite possibilities for use and reuse, great attention to the needs of customers who are increasingly attentive to environmental impact and a drive towards the search for innovative solutions.

Thomas Leissing, spokesman for the management of the Egger Group, is very satisfied with the synergy of this acquisition. “Italy is one of the main furniture markets in Europe and SAIB one of the main suppliers of the Italian furniture industry. The acquisition of a majority stake in the capital of SAIB represents for us the possibility of expanding our portfolio with innovative and trendy products for the furniture and interior design industry".
