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.

Technological materials for innovative design solutions: Elleci at SICAM 2025

Innovative design solutions that combine cutting-edge technology and Italian style to improve everyday life: this is Elleci's mission, clearly expressed at the SICAM 2025 stand, an exhibition space of 90 meters arranged in thematic islands dedicated to materials, technologies and accessories for kitchen and bathroom.

 

Material, the soul of the project

The nerve center was the Materials Wall, the space dedicated to the patented and highly technological materials Granitek and Keratek, the heart of the company's research and production.

Through a scenographic installation it was possible to discover the uniqueness of these materials and their potential: Granitek, born from the engineering of quartz, and Keratek, whose innovative formula is enriched with micro-ceramics and nanotechnologies. Both are used by Elleci in the creation of cutting-edge solutions for the kitchen environment, with high performance standards of the surfaces in terms of durability, resistance and aesthetics.

Highlighting the color element

Besides the functionality of the materials, aesthetics also plays a fundamental role in Elleci's proposals for the kitchen environment. The central section of the stand was in fact dedicated precisely to emphasizing the color element through two conceptual islands where color, material and design intertwined to suggest new living styles: Organic Tones and Eternal Nude. 

In the first, intense, dusty shades such as Cocoa and Sage were highlighted, combined with the urban charm of Concrete and the beauty of Total Black, through the display of iconic and award-winning models from the Élite Kitchen collection such as Mixology, Dialogo and Sintesi 305, as well as the new Unico 410 and Unico 305 sinks from the Kitchen 2025 collection.

In the second, warm, soft and reassuring tones dominated, such as Bianco Soft, Champagne and Tortora, chosen to define the next-generation workstations Spazio 600 and Best 360 and the Time and Time Undermount collections. 

 

Multifunction accessories

Another central element of Elleci's philosophy completed these spaces: attention to detail and the use of multifunction accessories that amplify the aesthetic and functional potential of the kitchen. The metallic finishes of taps, drain systems and small components, and the multifunction accessories, such as cutting boards, small trays, colanders, drainer flex and pod, which help transform the sink bowl into a modular workstation..
