2016 Salone del Mobile an incredible success

Alberto SchiattiNews

When the 55th Salone del Mobile interior design show closed its doors on
17 April, almost 375,000 visitors had attended what is now regarded as the
premier interior design show in the world. Evidence of the show’s increasing
international stature was that the number of attendees was up almost 4% on
the 2014 show – the last time the biennial kitchen and bathroom exhibitions
took place. The visitors to the show, which included the Italian Prime Minister,
Matteo Renzi, were treated to a truly stunning showcase of Italian creativity
and manufacturing expertise.

Since opening in 2013, the flagship Porada store at the Design Centre in
Chelsea Harbour, London has attracted thousands of visitors to see and
experience its iconic furniture. With the huge appeal of Porada furniture
amongst the design cognoscenti, the company has significantly increased the
size of its flagship store to accommodate a larger range of its products, enhance
their presentation, whilst continuing to provide a stunning location for visitors to
enjoy the unique experience that is Porada.

IMM 2016 – the style of things to come

Alberto SchiattiNews

As the first show to start 2016, IMM 2016 was an unqualified success. It is
estimated that 120,000 visitors attended the show – of which 80,000 were trade
– all of whom came to see almost 1,200 exhibitors from 50 countries display
new and exciting trends in design. Ironically many commentators identified that
the new trends on show were, in many instances, retrospective, with design
inspiration coming from the 1940s, ‘50s and ‘60s. And natural materials, colour
and great attention to detail were much in evidence too.

Deserved success for the London Design Festival

Alberto SchiattiNews

The London Design Festival has been a deserving and world-famous success –
in which several of the brands represented by Schiatti played an important role.
At the Focus/15 event at the Design Centre Chelsea Harbour, Porada launched
its stunning 2015 collection to a rapturous reception. Likewise at the Design
Centre, Interdesign, one of the capital’s leading Flexform suppliers, presented
an incredible new display of the brand’s iconic pieces. The London Design
Festival is a unique opportunity whereby hundreds of leading brands can
showcase their products to a discerning design-focused audience.
