The Board of Directors of Proposte Srl, after much debate, has established that the 27th edition of Proposte, the World Preview of Furnishing Fabrics and Curtains, will be held on the 15th, 16th and 17th of April 2019. Confirmed once again as venue for the event the exhibition centre at Villa Erba in Cernobbio.
“Considering the national and international calendar of the various civil and religious festivities”, says the Chairman, Mauro Cavelli, “the upcoming edition of Proposte should have been held in late May, a date we considered too far along for our market of reference. This is why we chose to anticipate the event to April, in the wake of the Salone del Mobile. This means that the famous event will close on Sunday in Milan and the gates of Villa Erba will open on the following Monday. We believe that by placing the date of our exhibition so close to that of the Salone del Mobile we will make it easier for our foreign visitors to attend both events in a short time and on a single trip”.
Another important aspect is the change in the days of the week on which Proposte will be held. This year, the Fair will open from Monday to Wednesday and no longer from Wednesday to Friday, like in past years.
The opening hours of the event remain the same:
15th and 16th April: from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., 17th April: from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
In 1993, a large number of the most qualified Italian furnishing textiles industrialists promoted the PROPOSTE fair. What was needed was a specialised and selective fair, which, starting from the consolidated MADE IN ITALY, would highlight the quality and professionalism of MADE IN EUROPE.
SPECIALIZED because the exhibitors are exclusively direct producers of furnishing and curtain fabrics. SELECTIVE because these exhibitors share at least three characteristics: the qualification of their companies and products, their professional fairness, their commitment to research and experimentation in the field of aesthetics and in that of technologies.
Proposte is an exhibition with free admission reserved to operators belonging to the following business sectors: textile editors, upholstered furniture manufacturers, wholesalers, converters, major retail chains, contract industry professionals.
The exhibiting location is Villa Erba in Cernobbio (Como – Italy).
