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.

The new BIO water-based wood varnishes Iridea by Ica are protagonists at the Fuorisalone

The new line of water-based wood varnishes Iridea BIO for interiors will be featured at the Fuorisalone in Milan with the exhibition “IDEA - The Design Supermarket“.
From 17 to 22 April the exhibition will be staged at Superstudio Più - SuperDesign Show in Via Tortona 27, Milan.
Curated by Danish designer Niklas Jacob, “IDEA - The Design Supermarket“ is a fun exhibition that wants to make an ironic tribute to the Swedish giant IKEA through the exhibition of creative projects to do-it-yourself assembly, made by 18 designers coming from 6 different countries.
These are ironic and unconventional furnishing objects: an antisocial table called Chatt and a table for those on a diet, the podium for egocentric Grandiös, the closet to hide the lover, the bookcase for just one book, the spare wheel that can be assembled and others.

 

Iridea BIO water-based paints


All the items have been painted with Ica's Iridea BIO water-based varnishes. Iridea BIO is the first paint in the world to be built without oil and with a production cycle with a very low environmental impact. Ica's BIO water-based paints are produced with non-toxic and ecological renewable raw materials (water plus BIO resin), with a very low VOC content (volatile organic compounds) and whose production cycle drastically reduces CO2 emissions.
“Every company has to face the problem of how much impacts on the planet - said President Sandro Paniccia - our bio paint is the result of 3 years of research and is the demonstration that even in a sector like the chemical one can follow the path of environmental sustainability“.
The presence of ICA at the Milan Fuorisalone with this eco-sustainable event wants to be a different way to communicate the new ICA product and its green characteristics.
