Furniture quality and functionality do not depend only on good design
Furniture quality and functionality do not depend only on good design since they are also the result of a good choice of raw materials, components, accessories. As consumers have become increasingly demanding, the furniture industry needs suppliers that guarantee a competitive edge and innovation to please their end customer. Nothing better than offering specifiers the opportunity to get to know the new products exhibited at the 14th International Fair of Machines, Raw Materials and Accessories for the Furniture Industry (FIMMA Brasil) 2019, from March 26 to 29 in Bento Gonçalves.
The fifth largest furniture fair in the world is preparing a special event for specifiers - architects and designers - scheduled for March 28. ArqDay, part of the FIMMA Workshop, will consist of talks, lectures and visits to booths aiming to bring together professionals and exhibitors strengthening their relationship.
Lecturers that have confirmed their participation include architect Paulo Mezzomo, from Arquiteto Expert, who will address the best management practices for architecture and design offices; and architect Andre Menin, from Refresher Trends, who will talk about architecture and interior design trends for 2019 and 2020.
This initiative will reinforce the mission of differentiation and innovation established by the board of FIMMA Brasil 2019, led by entrepreneur Henrique Tecchio. In over 58,000 square meter air-conditioned area, approximately 360 exhibitors representing around 500 brands will be presenting innovations, ensuring networking, commercial prospecting and businesses estimated at US$ 290 million.
