From Monday 27th to Wednesday 29th April will take place in the exhibition center of Villa Erba to Cernobbio Proposte 2020, twenty-eighth edition of world preview of fabric furnishings and curtains. He explained Piercarlo Viganò, new president of the Board of Proposals 2020: «Given the success of last year with the choice of dates, we decided to confirm the three days of Proposte 2020 in queue and without a solution of continuity with the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan. Sunday, April 26 will end the event in Milan, Monday 27 will open the gates of the Exhibition Center Villa Erba for Proposte 2020, multi-purpose and technologically advanced structure». It has also been pointed out that this year’s 2020 proposals will take place from Monday to Wednesday and no longer from Wednesday to Friday. The hours of Proposals 2020 remain unchanged: 27 and 28 April from 9,00 to 18,00, 29 April from 9,00 to 16,00. Another novelty of Proposte 2020 the creation of the image entrusted to the illustrator Agostino Iacurci. A multidisciplinary artist of Italian origin who lives in Berlin, famous for his synthetic and surprising forms and narratives on many levels. Piercarlo Viganò stressed again: «The fabric and the curtain change the house. They create narrative and describe stories and feelings. Transform the environments and make the moods visible in everyday life. Starting from this concept we wanted to entrust to an artist the task of describing and enhancing the centrality of the fabric and curtain sector in interior furnishings from a different point of view and with a different language from that of design. Because illustration is the hottest and most engaging visual communication system that exists. In Agostino Iacurci we found the ideal exponent of this world to synthesize in an exemplary way what represents Proposte 2020». Founded in 1993, Proposte is a specialized and selective fair. Specialized because it welcomes as exhibitors only direct producers of furnishing fabrics and curtains; selective because exhibitors share at least three characteristics: the qualification of their companies and their products, professional correctness, research and experimentation in the field of aesthetics and technology. Proposte 2020 is free admission reserved to industry operators such as textile publishers, upholstered furniture manufacturers, wholesalers, converters, large distribution chains, contract operators.
