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.

Satisfaction from organizers

Thomas Rosolia, CEO of Koelnmesse Italy and organizer of the event, said, "The premiere of interzum forum italy exceeded all expectations. We are thrilled with the high number of high quality visitors and perfectly on target with the planned goals. The interest of the companies rewarded us, the exhibitors welcomed the new exhibition format and many of them actively participated by enlivening the conference meeting program. The numbers of this very first edition have confirmed to us that we are on the right track and have been able to grasp the market demands for a biennial event alternating with interzum. Thanks to the feedback gathered, we are already at work for the 2026 edition."

Focus on Textile & Machinery

Visitors' interest was particularly directed toward the section dedicated to Textile & Machinery, underscoring the liveliness of a sector in continuous evolution, which does not find an adequate place in Italy within trade fairs.

 

Rich and interesting conference program

The conference part of interzum forum italy 2024 was interesting and full of insights, addressing extremely topical issues such as sustainability and innovation. Topics toward which there is more and more attention from companies, especially from the subcontracting sector, but which are rarely addressed within the fairs related to this very sector. 

The panel discussion entitled "Business outlook. Global innovation and local production: the evolution of materials, technology and furniture markets," featured Lorenzo Tavazzi, Jörg Buck, Edi Snaidero, Alessandra Tracogna, Piero Paganoni, Roger Reichert and Alfonso Tentori.

Three stages - those of Trend Talk, Trend Stage and Product Stage - welcomed 30 conferences and 60 Italian and international speakers, to share visions and trends of the spaces we inhabit, the development of materials and finishes, and new production processes, with a transversal attention to low environmental impact. An opportunity to have an updated look not only at the furniture supply chain but also at interior design for the hotellerie, yachting and naval, RV and automotive sectors.
