Piemonte exhibitors belong to different sectors, but they all share an history of uniqueness and an exceptional combination of design and craftsmanship. They propose original interior and exterior furnishings re-thought according to the new smart living and smart city trends. Pottery, wood, steel, marble, leather, glass, and even ceramic and titanium for the fashion jewellery collections, are the materials they use: the resulting objects harmoniously combine tradition and innovation.

During the same days, Piedmontese companies will take part in a b2b meetings programme with the Brasilian company Arca Conceito (www. arcaconceito.com.br) which is interested in purchasing and distributing Italian products (home décor and furnishings) on the Brasilian market.
