Fabric exhibition Proposte has confirmed it will remain at its home for the past 32 editions for the next three years.
The event has renewed its agreement with Villa Erba for the 2026-2028 editions, to stay at its Lake Como location.
The 2026 show will take place from 5-6 May.
‘It is always a great pleasure and source of pride to support Proposte, our most prestigious fair, which for 32 years has brought the excellence of research and innovation in furnishing textiles and home living to Villa Erba,; says Claudio Taiana, Villa Erba president. ‘Welcoming such a strong participation makes us extremely happy and proud and we take this opportunity to congratulate the organisers for their professionalism and experience. Proposte is an international showcase and a very precious asset for our region with a tangible positive impact on the local economy.’
The 32nd edition of the show ended on 8 May, a positive rection from the show’s 78 exhibitors.
‘The final outcome is undoubtedly positive,’ says Massimo Mosiello, Proposte director.
‘Participation has been in line with previous editions and exhibitors have enthusiastically stressed the premium quality of the buyers visiting the show. The fair international character has still dominated the stage by featuring approximately 75% of participants, lots of them coming from the United States and the United Kingdom, followed by France, Germany, Belgium, and Spain. Notably, this year has marked the first significant participation of trade operators from Saudi Arabia.
‘A special thank you goes to the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. Once again this year, through our collaboration with ICE – the Italian Trade Agency for the promotion and internationalisation of Italian companies – we were able to organize the participation of 27 selected buyers coming France, the United States, New Zealand, Romania, Poland, the United Kingdom, Slovenia, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Spain, and Belgium along with the participation of 10 international journalists from the trade press.’
