fabric fair proposte 2023 opens alongside salone del mobile

proposte celebrates international furnishings, fabrics, curtains and more

For the thirtieth time, Proposte 2023 draws open its curtains, tapestries and other furnishing fabrics to welcome exhibitors, professional buyers and consumers in a festival of fabrics.  Situated at Villa Erba, Cernobbio by Lake Como, the three-day trade fair coincides with Milan’s Salone del Mobile to encourage cross-visits for a complete interior design trip in Northern Italy. The 30th edition unites local and international professionals by displaying the work of 78 exhibitors: 29 Italian and 49 international.

For those unable to attend the event in person, Proposte’s digital platform allows visitors to join the virtual showcase from anywhere in the world – here.
