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.

Swiss Krono panels and surfaces: new trendy finishes and products at Sicam 2023

Swiss Krono AG, one of the world's leading manufacturers of wood-based panels and high-quality laminate flooring, participated once again this year at Sicam with a technical stand, a veritable material library that allowed visitors to experience the entire collection at first hand. 

The basic idea was to let people perceive at a glance how wide the company's offer is, with an increasingly specific focus on the sector both through the creation of trendy products able to inspire designers and planners, and through the offer of technical materials for distribution.

 

New finishes with a green soul 

Sicam was also the occasion to present the new Metro finish, characterised by textures and patterns inspired by fabrics and technical materials, obviously always with a green soul. 

The Metro finish is expressed with three collections, designed for different uses: the technical perception of the surface proposed in the Basic collection, ideal for giving depth to solid colours; the elegance of a silk weave in the Silky collection designed to give preciousness to surfaces; finally, the extremely interesting decorative effect of the Tweed collection obtained by a synchronism between print and plate. 

Focus also on the One Touch finish that enhances and enhances the effects of stone, marble and sheet metal, adding materiality and tactile as well as visual depth. 

Alongside the novelties on the stand, the company's must-have products were also on display: the SwissCDF and SwissClic panel, respectively the wood fibre panel with a black core and the acoustic panel that guarantees very high performance.
