This event has established itself on the international scene by becoming a showcase for the latest trends in furniture design, as well as a launching pad for new artists.

You can choose to send a project of:
• Seating: For chairs, the main material shall be wood and upholstery. Beech, ash, oak, or walnut should be the wood species utilized, in either solid or plywood version. The Kvadrat textile collections should be used for upholstered pieces. The use of other materials such as metal, thermopolymer, and aluminum will also be accepted. The chair design proposal includes: chairs, armchairs, lounge chairs, stools, benches and sofas.
