Europe is painful. Italy is one of the most adversely affected spots of the trouble. However, Proposte had no signs of the crisis. Celebrating its 20th year Proposte fair was held in such an atmosphere. The sun was shining, the Como Lake was incredibly beautiful as always but naturally the business was not so much glorious although the fair performed well. The 20th edition of Proposte, as the organizers call “the world preview of furnishing fabrics and curtains,” was held its longstanding Villa Erba venue with its fully indoor exhibition
space. Perusing all of the 104 stands, the visitors were introduced to the new fabric and soft furnishing collections that Europe’s leading textile manufacturers have designed and produced with a view to meeting the requirements of buyers flocking in from over seventy countries around the globe.
