Presented in September, Artec's new line is the latest addition to the range of contemporary models. Minimalist in style, Glossy offers countless combinations that make it an extremely versatile, endlessly customisable kitchen. The range of finishes has been broadened and revamped with new colours like dark green-blue and Caffelatte, and new wood types like Portofino oak and beige sucupira. And there's more: new handles and peninsula tops, and a total innovation like the functional, prestigious cabinet with flush-closing doors. This line offers yet another confirmation that it is possible to furnish a kitchen in style, optimising each and every element, and without compromising on anything - let alone a reasonable budget.

The Teko and Flex lines were merged and revamped in some key elements, such as legs, top shapes and colour palette, giving birth to a new operational furniture system that is flexible, contemporary and - above all - attractively priced. With Teko10, Offic'è paves the way for its 2011 target, i.e. maintaining its upward growth rate contrary to the dominant trend in the office furniture market world-wide. Catalogue and price list were presented in late October and there is great anticipation for market response to this additional significant investment made by the Colombini Group in the office furniture division.

After a two years' break, the Cologne trade show makes its demure comeback. Attendance was less than record-breaking, and a few big names were missing among exhibitors. However, Orgatec is, and remains the most important showcase for those who wish to broaden their market horizons and - above all - are resolved to make their way in a manifestly changing market. Being there was important: the new contacts made and a first entry in the European arena are tangible evidence of the further steps made towards becoming an international brand.

Big news in the upholstered furniture scene: the new product catalogue has been rolled out and Sofup's change of image - in line with the Group's global product communication - is apparent at a glance. The core innovation is the introduction of fabrics, that opens up new business avenues and styling possibilities. The long-announced range revamp is finally here. A variety of upholstery materials to choose from and the new model David complement the now contemporary, competitive product range.
