Charm of Detail 2009

The Charm of Detail Exhibition has accompanied the FURNICA trade fair since its very beginning. Its first edition was simply a display of new products offered by participating companies. However, the subsequent edition initiated a series of exhibitions that inspired designers and producers alike.

The upcoming Charm of Detail is a presentation of trends in furniture upholstery. Unlike its previous edition, it will be an impression-based exhibition full of openwork, very airy, using light effects. Its main elements (the light and the fabrics) will be combined with a motif of large lanterns. The Charm of Detail (in reference to last year's idea of the pattern book) will showcase upholstery fabrics that will not hang loosely, as is usually the case at trade fair stands, but will be stretched as if on a piece of furniture. Apart from the pattern book, the exhibition will feature armchairs differing in the type of upholstery fabrics.

All previous editions of the Charm of Detail shared one feature - they created a venue for meetings and an opportunity to exchange opinions. The upcoming event will be accompanied by many lectures and presentations. Talks on the perception of colours will be given by Zuzanna Skalska, who announces her lectures this year in the following way: My presentation is related to the latest colour trends visible in various industries. The talks will deal with the perception, understanding and implementation of colours in brands by consumers and will end with a short workshop for the audience.

According to Zuzanna Skalska, innovative ideas are created out of openness to various sources of inspiration, frequently beyond a given industry. Hence the idea of an all-encompassing analysis of colour trends in the furniture industry and beyond. During the presentation, the audience will learn about 13 colours, their definitions, cultural context and the perception of shades in the latest design.

The Charm of Detail exhibition, organised annually, is very popular among furniture manufacturers participating in FURNICA. The concept of this year's event and the topics to be tackled create yet another opportunity to find out more about current and future trends.
