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 ultra-compact Dekton® surface proposed in the new Slim format

The Gruppo Cosentino, a Spanish multinational leader in the production of innovative surfaces for the world of architecture and design, has presented Slim, a new version of the ultra-compact Dekton® surface characterized by a thickness of only 4 mm.
Slim is perfectly suited to any type of architectural and design project as it combines the technical and mechanical characteristics of Dekton® with a unique format, much thinner, lighter and easier to handle during installation.

 

Slim: reduced thickness and weight


Thanks to its reduced thickness and low weight (4mm and 10 kg/sqm respectively), Dekton® Slim is the ideal choice for projects requiring high performance and the use of lightweight materials. Dekton® Slim is also particularly suitable for covering large furniture, doors and panels.
Slim retains all the characteristics and properties of Dekton®, a material made with an innovative ultra-compact process that guarantees high resistance to scratches, stains, temperature changes and UV rays. Characterized by water-repellent properties, Slim is also produced in single pieces, offering a very attractive final aesthetic result.
The Slim format is currently available in eight shades of Dekton® but will gradually be extended to all colours in the range.
Dekton® Slim was previewed last year at the Salone del Mobile in Milan and has aroused considerable interest from both professionals and end users; in fact, it has proved to be an innovative, versatile and high-performance proposal that can expand the design possibilities of architects and designers.
