The Schiatti office will be closed for the summer from 7 – 27 August 2014, and
whilst we’re away for only a part of the summer, if you wish to catch-up on the
exisitng and great new products available from the brands we represent,
please look at the manufacturers’ online brochures.
We’re sure you will discover some new and exciting products in the brochures,
and we look forward to discussing them with you when the Schiatti team
returns to the office.
Have a wonderful summer
New retail displays to engage customers
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.
LivingEtc – Jun 2014
Show 2014 – Contemporary
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!
Milan Furniture Show 2014
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.
2014 welcomes the return of confidence
At the two leading industry shows which started 2014 – Imm in Cologne and
Maison et Objet in Paris – there was the welcome return of confidence in
furniture design. This new confidence was seen aplenty in the exhibits, which
featured exciting design, combined with the innovative application of new
manufacturing technology and materials.
The two must-attend shows for 2014
From everyone at Schiatti we wish you a very Happy and Prosperous New
year, and as the new year begins, it’s time to look forward to the excitement
which 2014 is sure to bring. Two of the most eagerly awaited – and exciting –
events of 2014 take place in January; Imm Cologne 13 – 19 January and
Maison et Objet in Paris 24 – 28 January.
