New retail displays to engage customers

Alberto SchiattiNews

The first half of 2014 has seen the installation of some new and very exciting
furniture displays in a number of leading UK stores, and with very good reason.
There is nothing quite like the opportunity for prospective customers to see and
touch the physical quality of a product. There is notable market research to
suggest that the tactile sensations experienced by customers can have a very
positive effect, creating a symbolic psychological ownership of a product and
driving a must-have acquisition, especially in respect of high-value purchases.

Show 2014 – Contemporary

Alberto SchiattiNews

As host to the 53rd Salone Internazionale del Mobile, in April 2014, the city of
Milan was again the international furniture and design capital of the world.
With increasing global confidence, the expectations for the latest show were
certainly great, with around 300,000 visitors expected to attend, but this
figure was greatly exceeded. Some 350,000 visitors, from 160 countries,
attended and experienced the stunning creations from more than 2,400
exhibitors. And with over 1,400 exhibitors from Italy alone, the economic
importance of the show, a result of the innovative and high-quality design
manufacturing it represents, was highlighted by a visit from the Italian
Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi. It’s perhaps no surprise that this year’s show
has been described by visitors and exhibitors alike as being the best yet!

The city of Milan will once more be the international furniture and design
capital of the world, as it hosts the 53rd Salone Internazionale del Mobile.
From 8 – 13 April 2014 the show is anticipated to attract over 300,000 visitors
from 160 countries. And with some 2,400 exhibitors, of which more than
1,400 are from Italy, many of the exclusive brands represented by Schiatti will
be attendance, with stands featuring both new and existing furniture ranges.
