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.

Hettich Italia responds effectively to new challenges on the Italian market

Hettich Italia is responding effectively to the new challenges of the Italian market in the covid era. In 2021, Hettich Italia decided to reorganise its sales network and open a new company showroom with the aim of increasing and consolidating customer service by making it more targeted and customised to meet specific requirements in the competitive Italian market, which is highly strategic for the entire group.
“The economic revival of the furniture industry can only be achieved through effective and clear responses to the market, which must always find a stable and consistent partner in us“, says Francesco Brambilla, Managing Director of Hettich Italia. “We are perfectly placed to respond to the challenges of the moment by deploying the best resources and making the right investments, from the digital transformation of internal processes to the creation of customised customer service solutions“.
The new structure of Hettich's Italian sales network will ensure better responsiveness to customer needs through simpler organisation, streamlined decision-making processes and greater operational effectiveness.
The construction of the new company showroom, equipped with top products for Italian customers, is also part of this vision of greater efficiency and responsiveness to customer needs.

 

Hettich Group: Major investments to meet market challenges


Hettich, the German multinational specialist in technical furniture solutions, which recently announced that it had closed the 2020 financial year with a turnover in excess of one billion euros, proudly emphasised the more than 70 million euros invested in new products and new technologies for production processes.
Undoubtedly, the economic impact of Covid is still very much in the forefront of our minds, and with it the resulting issues of cost and raw material procurement. These are currently the company's biggest challenges, but they have not affected the goals set by its sustainability commitments: in addition to setting up and implementing a compliance management system for the timely monitoring of project results, Hettich continues to focus on creating long-lasting products to avoid waste and conserve resources, while at the same time striving for maximum energy efficiency in all production areas.
Participation in interzum@home, the trade fair par excellence for suppliers to the furniture industry, which this year takes place only in virtual form, consolidates the Hettich Group's global leadership in furniture fittings and technology.

 

Reorganising the entire sales chain


Against this international backdrop of strong presence and consistent investment, Hettich has decided to overhaul the group's service model by reorganising the entire sales chain and making major IT investments to ensure the highest standards of offering and service, all the more important for meeting new customer needs amplified by the pandemic. This project also includes the commercial reorganisation of the Italian subsidiary.
