Seven Portuguese exhibitors are heading for the City of Love to showcase their products and collections.
The company Filipe Nogueira Carriço Unipessoal, which aims to expand the business at European level and increase exports, will be showcasing a collection focusing on kitchen textiles. As Filipe Nogueira states, «expectations with regard to participation in the trade show are very high», as he considers that «this market/trade show will be a very good international product launch».
Castelbel, a regular at the trade show, returns to Paris once again. As states Marta Araújo, the company's commercial director, «the participation in this international trade show is increasingly important for any brand aiming to put roots down in the global decoration and lifestyle market». Castelbel, which is present in more than 40 countries, will be showcasing several novelties, highlighting the new “Portus Cale Gold&Blue” line, which is completely inspired by the traditional Portuguese tile.
By combining ancient wisdom with modern design, Burel Factory presents original and contemporary pieces, highlighting duvets, quilts, pillows, sofas, armchairs, chairs, blankets and scarves, restoring old patterns with contemporary shapes and colours.
TM Collection focuses on a textile design project which incorporates feeling, knowledge, art and passion for life, with a collection of fashion accessories and clothing.
For the first time at the trade show, Marias Paperdolls emerges as a contemporary concept of environmental approach, which gives birth to paper dolls. «The collection is inspired by the clothing of Traditional Feast of Sobrado (Valongo, Portugal), characterized by the expression of popular tradition and party, contextualizing with the fashion trends these days», as Claudia Oliveira states, one of the company managers.
Devilla will be presenting a collection focusing on bath and bedroom linens - Devilla Têxteis Lar – which promises to combine its traditional standards of quality with uncompromising care in manufacture and design.
AMR, a company with home and hotel textile products, will be showcasing a varied collection of duvets, quilts, pillows, blankets, bedroom linen, bath linen and tablecloths.
Once again the trade show gathers exhibitors and visitors from all over the world in a place which is conducive to meetings and exchanges and to showcase an international range of high quality products.
