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.

The digital platform of Salone del Mobile.Milano is now online

The digital platform of Salone del Mobile.Milano has been online since June 30 and was presented through a talk show moderated by Victoria Cabello, which saw the participation of Claudio Feltrin, president of FederlegnoArredo, Maria Porro, president of Assarredo, and Marco Sabetta, general manager of Salone del Mobile.Milano. Annalisa Rosso, editorial director of the platform, in a conversation with journalist Riccardo Luna, a lover of innovation and an expert in technology, pointed out that no economic sector can now do without digital and illustrated the potential of this new Salone project. The meeting was also attended by architect Stefano Boeri, curator of the “supersalone“, who revealed some more news about the special event scheduled from September 5 to 10 in Milan, Rho Fiera.

 

Objectives and contents of the platform

The digital platform of Salone del Mobile.Milano has a twofold objective: on the one hand, to amplify its authority, influence and leadership, supporting the trade fair dimension over time from a strategic, commercial and communicative point of view; on the other hand, to create value and become a business driver for exhibiting companies, increasing their visibility, multiplying the ways and times of connection with their target, capitalizing on the services offered. It is therefore proposed to combine the digital dimension with the physical experience of the Fair.
Let's come to the contents of the digital platform of Salone del Mobile.Milano. There will be original editorial content, both b2b and b2c, updated several times a day, divided into thematic sections, with a transversal focus on design, furnishings, art, architecture, science and technology. There will be interviews with the protagonists of these sectors and the most interesting profiles of the national and international cultural scene, collaborations with magazines and the most authoritative names in the field.
Space will also be given to companies that will be able to talk about themselves, in a free and independent way, through texts, images and videos.  The value of the platform lies in its interactivity: companies will have at their disposal breakout rooms, virtual showrooms, digital contact channels that will guarantee an immediate and profitable exchange with the target before, after and during the Fair.
Finally, the platform will have contents linked more specifically to the event and to the services dedicated to the experience at the fair: ticketing and information to be able to organize the visit and plan the appointments for that week, applications to facilitate the meeting between supply and demand of furniture.

 

A multidimensional tool

The digital platform is therefore intended to be a multidimensional tool that activates strategic collaborations, unites and relates different audiences, and integrates functions at the service of all Salone del Mobile.Milano events.
Claudio Feltrin, President of FederlegnoArredo, satisfied with the digital project of Salone del Mobile.Milano, commented: “From today it is Salone all year round. Thanks to the digital platform, the world's most famous design fair will remain 'open' 365 days. This is the main objective of a formula that has made the combination of physical and digital its strong point, a model capable of setting the standard that allows companies to develop their business, maintaining direct and constant contact with customers“.
Marco Sabetta, General Manager of Salone del Mobile.Milano, confirms that “the new digital platform marks an important step change for Salone del Mobile.Milano and represents a sophisticated digital experience in which the key is the mix between physical and online. A business tool for companies and a virtual collector of beauty, value and quality“.
Annalisa Rosso, editorial director of the platform, points out that this is a choral project, which brings together the many different voices and identities that have always made up an incredible network: companies and their products, trade magazines, insiders from all over the world, design enthusiasts. It is from the meeting of these international realities and from the interactive exchange that ideas and opportunities are born, which, just as happens physically at the fair, make the Salone a unique and unmissable event.
