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.

Cleaf presents C-HOUSE: ABS faced panels, laminates and edges
Cleaf presented at Interzum 2019 C-HOUSE, the research dedicated to its innovative surfaces and their applications, already successfully proposed during the Milan Design Week 2019.
The stand, designed by Bestetti Associati, aimed to highlight the many applications of furniture and interior cladding surfaces, highlighting 12 finishes positioned on 12 off-scale and backlit walls and 4 double-sided displays with some possible combinations. At a glance, visitors could admire the rich Cleaf collection of ABS faced panels, laminates and edges for upholstering furniture and interiors: vertical and horizontal planes or curved supports.
 

The new collection of solid-colour decors


The protagonist of the installation was the new collection of solid-colour decors developed by Studio MILO and composed of 90 colours, specially designed and divided into three families, Neutral, Trendy, Evergreen, which refer to three different imaginaries. The different context of use of the product and consequently its stylistic differentiation highlighted the multiplicity and variety of finishes and decorations of the Cleaf collection able to adapt perfectly to any type of furniture and interior environment.

 

Two particular novelties: the finish Poro Noce and Mosaico


Among the new finishes Poro Noce is the absolute novelty, a finish that reproduces the wood of walnut, a tree considered a symbol of fertility, whose ancient presence in Campania is evidenced by the discovery of charred trees in the excavations of Pompeii. The pores are arranged in a widespread way and are recognizable even to the naked eye. Poro Noce is available as a panel and ABS edge.
At the Cleaf stand, the new Mosaico finish, which won the Interzum award: intelligent material & design 2019, was also presented. This finish is the result of a composition of square tiles whose irregular appearance is given by different levels of depth and width.
