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.

Egger surfaces and panels earn international recognition for design quality and innovation

Design quality combined with technological innovation to create a forward-looking range of innovative surfaces: this is Egger’s mission to deliver creative and sustainable solutions. The new ST35 Feelwood Canyon finish and the Repeatless panel have been honored with two prestigious international awards: the Interzum Award 2025 for high product quality and the Red Dot Award 2025 for outstanding design quality.

Michael Egger Jr., Chief Sales Officer and member of the Egger Group Management Board, stated: “We are proud of these awards because they confirm our ongoing commitment to thinking ahead, both in terms of design quality and technical innovation. They demonstrate the creative potential that can be achieved when design, technology, and market understanding go hand in hand.”

 

New synchronized embossed surfaces

With the introduction of the ST35 Feelwood Canyon finish, Egger is launching a new generation of synchronized pore surfaces, expanding the successful Feelwood product family. This innovative technology achieves deeper embossing, creating an exceptionally authentic wood-like tactile feel. The synchronized pore surface also features a more matte and expressive appearance, giving it a natural and sophisticated look.

Three coordinated decors - Natural Rocher Oak (pictured), Brown, and Dark Brown—further emphasize the character of solid wood. These surfaces combine a natural appearance with the advantages of coated panels, opening up new opportunities for premium interior design projects.

 

Repeatless panels for a natural wood look

Egger is raising the bar for natural wood effect reproduction in large-scale applications with its new Repeatless panels - half-format panels with no visible joints. Their innovative decorative structure features a 3000 mm grain pattern that repeats only approximately every 17 panels. Combined with the new ultra-matte ST17 Omnipore Oiled surface, these panels deliver an authentic, natural look closely resembling real oiled wood.

The panels offer a seamless, continuous grain pattern with no visible repetition, making them ideal for large furniture and wall applications while ensuring maximum design flexibility for ambitious interior projects.
