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.

Architect@work Milano: the ideal meeting place for architects and interior designers
Wednesday 3 and Thursday 4 November Architect@work Milano is back, now in its 7th edition. You can visit the event live at Mico - Milano Congressi or follow it online on the brand new platform: A@W Digital Milan. As always, the event will offer companies and designers an ideal meeting place for networking, for the presentation and discovery of new products, for professional updating and the exchange of ideas. The main objective of the event is in fact to bring together hundreds of national and international manufacturers with thousands of architects and interior designers through a dynamic and stimulating formula. In the pre-prepared stands, exhibitors present innovative products and materials, the result of a selection by a technical committee.

 

Theme of the 2021 edition: "Oxygen"


"Oxygen" is the central theme of the event on which the seminars, materials exhibition and photo galleries focus.
The exhibition "Oxygen, architecture and materials" by OF ARCH and DDN curated by Arianna Callocchia, aims to present the theme of oxygen as a vital resource and a fundamental element for the quality of life and air in the urban environment in which we live. The exhibition aims to stimulate the visitor to live an experience through the senses and, at the same time, deepen their knowledge of some innovative materials that, thanks to some particular characteristics, allow to sanitize the environments in which we live. All the materials on display, from natural to traditional or latest generation artificial ones, have been selected for their characteristics and antibacterial and air sanitizing properties.
For the fourth time, world-architects is presenting the projects of its members, as part of the Architect@work project wall: 40 projects by architects, interior designers, lighting designers and landscape architects from all over the world. The exhibition is further enriched by editorial content such as unpublished interviews with architects.
The photo collection, selected by world-architects.com, also focuses on the theme "Oxygen" and focuses on an international selection of contemporary projects mainly from Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
