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.

Schattdecor at SICAM 2026: concrete and coordinated solutions for the furniture industry and interior design

Simplify. is the concept developed by Schattdecor at SICAM 2026, demonstrating how ideas and design can translate into concrete, coordinated solutions across different technologies and application areas.

The company’s extensive product range spans from decoratives to finished surfaces, including complementary components for the furniture industry and interior design, positioning Schattdecor as a supplier of integrated solutions.

Cutting-edge, on-trend surfaces

At the stand, visitors were able to see and touch surfaces that are cutting-edge and trend-oriented, and understand how a single pattern retains its visual and design identity across different substrate materials.

Among the most appreciated offerings were decoratives such as Rovere Tonale, Ardenza and Freijo Vertrice.

Rovere Tonale pairs lively wood structures with subdued grain: pronounced pores combine with a harmonious color background, giving furnishings a contemporary look.

Ideal for kitchen tops, worktops and living areas, Ardenza is inspired by a hard Brazilian stone, characterized by pronounced mineral veins combined with fine calcareous inclusions.

The decorative Freijo Vertrice, on the other hand, highlights the fine striping of tropical wood bookmatched, enhanced by a subtle sheen, particularly suitable for fronts and boiseries. 

Digital printing plays a leading role: a perfect example is the decorative Calacatta Viola, presented at the stand in large format, which emphasized the color intensity, brilliance and depth typical of this technology.

Concept Sense+: choose a decorative with confidence

Schattdecor’s Concept Sense+ service once again proved very successful: it offers the possibility to evaluate a new decorative together with the most suitable finishing structure before giving final approval to the layout.

Among the Concept Sense+ offerings particularly appreciated at SICAM are the decoratives Piazza Grande and Prime Walnut. Piazza Grande is a stone surface in large-format digital printing, specifically designed for worktops. Prime Walnut, characterized by a striated grain across a rich color spectrum, pairs excellently with solid colors or other wood species.
