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.

Domus Line: process optimization and product customization

Over the last three years, Domus Line has embarked on an important process of renewal of its production and logistics system in order to optimise the efficiency of its processes and to respond effectively to the needs of the market. With the aim of supporting customers in an excellent way, after a year of preliminary tests, the company has recently implemented a new service of customization of LED profiles, fast and extremely flexible.
For this reason, a new 500sqm department has been built, which has seen the installation of an automated vertical warehouse for the storage of profiles and a new cutting station that will allow optimal management of orders for these products.

 

The new vertical warehouse
 

The new vertical warehouse has allowed Domus Line to reduce the volume dedicated to the storage of more than 60 items available for customization; their length, up to three linear meters, made it difficult to store and handle them. This vertical warehouse reduces the space occupied by these components and makes picking faster and more efficient, also increasing operator safety and stock control.
 

The new cutting station

 

The new cutting station focuses on customizing the length of the profiles; in fact, this system allows the company to meet the demands of customers “to the millimetre“, even for small batches and in extremely short times. In this way, Domus Line responds quickly and flexibly to the demands of both the industrial sector and its distribution partners.
 

Towards full digitalization of business processes

 

The third phase of the project, which is part of the total digitalization of business processes, involves the development of a product configurator that will allow, initially to the entire sales network and then to all customers, to generate independently the desired article choosing from the many options available that include the profile model, the finish, the type of stripled, the color of light, the ignition system and the length and quantity desired. This whole process can be managed from a reserved area of the company's website and will allow orders to be sent directly to the company.
