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.

Fuorisalone Digital Edition: design is back in the spotlight in Milan

From Monday 12 to Sunday 18 April, the Fuorisalone Digital Edition will take place in Milan, on the occasion of Milano Design City, in digital format, during which product previews, round tables, virtual events and webinars will be presented with the various partners involved.
The event anticipates the appointment scheduled from 5 to 10 September in conjunction with the Salone del Mobile in Milan, on which all Fuorisalone operators are working to confirm Milan as the capital of design, an international reference point.

 

“Forms of Living“ theme of the 2021 edition


The theme of the 2021 edition of Fuorisalone Digital Edition is “Forms of Living“ and it will be an opportunity for discussion and debate on living needs and domestic spaces, which have become increasingly central to our lives over the past year.
It will also be an opportunity to broaden the reflection to the themes of the environment, the city and its relationships and how they are changing in this particular historical moment. The concept of contemporary living in its various forms will be analysed between design, art, architecture and anthropology, focusing in particular on current issues such as circular design, sustainability and wellbeing.
“Pandemic has changed the rules of the game, accelerating processes of sharing and modes of online fruition,“ says Paolo Casati of Studiolabo, Fuorisalone's organiser. “The 2021 edition of Fuorisalone follows up on the objectives set during the previous year: the theme chosen is more topical than ever, it is an invitation to confrontation, a moment to stop and reflect on what are the new ways of living, its declinations, the changes taking place. In a context where design becomes a useful tool for proposing solutions and new scenarios“.

 

The Fuorisalone Design Guide project


The new Fuorisalone Design Guide project shifts the focus of the communication platform, so that the guide to events becomes an integral part of a more articulated system, an observatory on the world of design active all year round thanks to an editorial plan distributed over several channels: website, magazine, TV and Meets.
“Digital will not be able to replace the in-person event, but it is in fact a tool to support companies that over time will become integrated with the physical event and will become increasingly important,“ says Studiolabo's Cristian Confalonieri. “We are in a historical moment in which companies can no longer ignore the importance of presiding over the web, activating effective communication. Because the design market is an inspirational market“.
