For exhibitors, the fair is an excellent opportunity to introduce themselves and their products. At the event, everyone had a great chance to find an overview of the current offerings on the market, to exchange ideas with fellow colleagues, and to establish business contacts.

With an exhibiting space of 45,000 square metres, the event features around 21% of foreigner exhibitors from all over the world, including Germany, South Korea, Slovenia, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, the United Kingdom, the Dominican Republic, the Czech Republic and Turkey. The participation of Spanish-based exhibitors increased due to the presence of modern, contemporary and youthful furniture firms.

The fair was completed with cultivated activities and experiences, such as talks about diverse matters, including discussions about the “vente-privee” type of commerce, eco-healthy lighting solutions and several enticing conferences, including one with the famous Argentine architect, Diego Gronda, and a meeting with renowned Chinese designer, Ben Wu. The event also introduced the online platform “lightingspain.com” as well as initiatives like the Congress Habitat 2017 and the Furniture Council of Spain.
