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 new Cleaf finishes: evocative tactile and visual sensations

Cleaf, a reference company for surfaces and innovative solutions for the furniture and interior design sectors, has recently participated in the Sicam of Pordenone and the two Italian editions of Architect@Work in Rome and Milan.

The company presented its collection of surfaces for furniture and interior design at Sicam, in a booth as always very well designed by Bestetti Associati. The exhibition space was divided by three innovative screens that highlighted the tactile and visual characteristics of the three types of products developed by Cleaf: laminates, edges and faced panels. Along the perimeter of the stand, ten large-sized faced panels underlined the development of the decoration. The Fronda finish, which reproduces the elm wood, is absolutely new, but architects, designers and operators of the sector have also been able to admire the three finishes proposed by Cleaf during the Milano Design Week: Alpaca, which reproduces the silky effect of this natural fibre, which once was taken for the clothing of the Inca emperors; Duna, which shows relief of medium-sized granules reminiscent of sandstone; and finally, Mosaico, a composition of square tesserae that create a textured leather effect.

 

The news of Cleaf at Architect @ Work


The Mosaico finish was at the centre of Architect@Work Rome and Architect@Work Milan, the successful format dedicated to solutions for architecture and interior design, a formula designed to show innovation and dialogue with architects and designer.

In this case, an evocative setting correlated the composition of the Mosaico finish with the modules of the glass and steel pyramid designed by Ieoh Ming Pei for the entrance of the Louvre Museum in Paris.

The Mosaico finish is available as faced panel, laminate and ABS edge in the beautiful R-Cube, Blue Night, Black, Iris, Lead and Total White shades.

The irregular aspect of the composition of tesserae is given by different levels of depth and width that give the whole a refined movement.
