PROPOSTE 2026: EXCELLENCE UNVEILED
From May 5 to 7, 2026, the prestigious curtain of Proposte will rise to unveil the latest innovations and trends redefining the boundaries of furnishing textiles.
Villa Erba is preparing to host the 33rd edition of the fair, welcoming 87 exhibitors - an 11% increase from last year - representing the global pinnacle of the industry in terms of quality, innovation, and professional fairness.
“Proposte is an intentionally selective event: exhibitors are carefully chosen to ensure an unprecedented level of excellence and to foster genuine business opportunities” – Massimo Mosiello, Director of Proposte.
Italian Mastery: From Tradition to Tomorrow
The Italian participants remain a historic pillar of Proposte, reflecting a manufacturing district capable of global evolution while maintaining deep roots in the local territory and a strong bond with the furniture sector.
Alongside long-standing exhibitors, the fair’s offering is enriched by eight new Italian entries. Pontoglio 1883 and Velvetex bring a selection of high-quality velvets; Italreflexes and Tecnofinish present refined and sustainable wallcoverings; Fasac 1955, Nice-Gruppo Aurim, and Paoletti Tessuti raise the bar in production processes. A special guest as an innovative fabrics company is the Trevira CS brand by Indorama Ventures.
Beyond borders: The map of global excellence
- 14 Countries, 4 continents
- 60% international exhibitors
- Focus on Belgium with 16 historic weaving mills
Proposte confirms its status as the premier observatory for the world’s furnishing textiles. This year, the exhibition's variety expands thanks to significant new entries: from Belgium’s Manchoni by GSF, a synthesis of simplicity and technical ingenuity, to Audejas, the event’s first Lithuanian company, and the creative value of Edinburgh Weavers, capable of transforming artistic genius into original textile productions.
Their arrival defines the exhibition path as an ecosystem of excellence - a crossroads of tradition and innovation that makes Proposte an unmissable appointment for the global supply chain.
