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 winners of the XXV Compasso d'Oro ADI: protagonist of quality design

Index

The award ceremony of the XXV edition of the Compasso d'Oro ADItook place on 20 June in the Cortile della Rocchetta of the Castello Sforzesco in Milan.

The ADI Compasso d'Oro award is the most authoritative on the Italian design scene and has taken on an increasingly international look in recent years. From the next edition, in 2020, it will be even more international as the Italian and international trends will be brought together, offering a rich section of products from all over the world.

The 2018 edition of the Compasso d'Oro ADI focused on design in everyday life and the same theme was developed in the installation created by the IED Milan School of Visual Arts, which has developed the relationship between sociality in nine daily episodes, some millennials and some icons of design.

There were more than 1,200 candidates for the preselection of the award in the two-year period 2016-2017, 283 products submitted to the international jury, but only 16 were awarded the prize. Others 56, the international jury were assigned a Honorable Mention. As usual, the award was given to both designers and producers of objects. In addition to these awards, there are 11 Compasso d'Oro career awards, assigned by the ADI to prominent personalities and companies in the Italian and international design scene, as well as 3 prizes and 10 plaudits of the Targa Giovani award, awarded to projects made in Italian design university schools by young people at the beginning of their careers.

At the centre there is always the quality of design: the international jury, made up of about 150 specialists (designers, researchers, specialized journalists), selects the products for the final selection among the reported products and among these chooses the winners.

The exhibition is open to the public until June 26 and is accompanied by a catalogue in Italian and English (graphic design by Stefano Reboli).
