SICAM 2021 fair
The event took place this year for the first time after a long pause caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The turnout showed that the fair participants were waiting impatiently to be able to meet again face to face, exchange experiences and ideas. More than 540 exhibitors from Italy and 28 from other countries came to the Italian Pordenone. The furniture industry professionals from 97 countries, representing over 7,200 companies, attended. 66% of them were from Italy and 34% from abroad. Participants were not discouraged by the restrictions or limited opportunities for international transport.
Inspirations and trends 2021/2022
The furniture industry focuses on nature. This trend has accompanied us from the beginning of the pandemic, which has led to a significant reevaluation of our everyday life and put more emphasis on our surroundings. The interiors have become a refuge, a place for relaxation and family time, and at the same time it was in our homes that functional and focused places to work had to be created.
We wrote more about these trends on our blog: Interior trends for 2021
The forecasts for 2022 confirm this direction and the SICAM 2021 fair was full of inspirations that refer to it. Among them were:
Stone
The natural textures of concrete, marble and rocks, which have been reflected for centuries in the form of beautiful colorus and layers, were presented by the exhibitors. Thanks to these solutions, we can not only commune with the amazing works of nature in the interior, but also surround ourselves with luxury. The stone textures bring a lot of elegance to the rooms, they are also timeless and create endless arrangement possibilities.
Natural wood
Speaking of nature, wood had to mentioned, especially in a warm, natural colour. During the SICAM 2021 fair, oak dominated – as a durable aolution and the perfect addition to both modern, loft and Scandinavian interiors.
The exhibitors presented wood in many interesting colour versions as a decorative element not only for the floor, but also for the wall. In this way, it can become a decoration that perfectly warms up the interior.
Functional and aesthetic matt
Observing the trends, it can be noticed that consumers are increasingly abandoning the recently popular high gloss in favor of matte finish fronts. They appreciate the functionality of this solution, which is easier to keep the room clean, and the aesthetic effect that makes the interior more cozy. Our long-term partner, RENOLIT, presented during SICAM their innovative PREMIER MATT films, which perfectly fit into this trend.
Quality comes first
Consumers also appreciate the quality offered by PREMIUM products. RENOLIT has prepared for them excellent quality finishing films from the DIAMOND line, which offer not only a beautiful appearance, but also an unprecedented durability.
Sustainable development in the furniture industry
RENOLIT, however, did not stop at presenting its innovative products. Particularly noteworthy is the fact that during the SICAM 2021 fair, our supplier of furniture films presented a sustainable development strategy with a perspective until 2025. In this way, it emphasized the growing need to implement solutions that allow for the protection of the natural environment and provide conditions for its development.
The SICAM 2021 trade fair from the perspective of Melaco
To sum up, the SICAM 2021 was eventful and extremely inspiring for us. We came back to Nowa Sól full of enthusiasm and energy to further develop our products and technologies to meet the needs of consumers. At the same time, taking care or what we are all trying to introduce to our home environment, that is – our natural environment.
The next SICAM fair will take place in 2022, between October 18 and 21. If you’re in the furniture industry, don’t forget to put it in your calendar.
