The second edition of interzum forum Italy has already opened it’s door on June 4th and will run till today in Bergamo.
Day 1 of interzum forum italy 2026: energy, innovation and connections shaping the future. The first day was intense and meaningful to both the visitors and exhibitors. Day 1 has marked by business meetings, networking opportunities, exchanges between industry professionals and insights into the trends transforming the world of furniture, interior design and components.
With national and international exhibitors, conferences, product innovations and new collaboration opportunities, the first day once again confirmed interzum forum italy’s role as a reference point for the furniture and interior design supply chain.
A sincere thank you to all exhibitors, visitors, partners and speakers who contributed to the success of this day.
The first edition of the show confirmed the strong interest of companies and professionals in the furniture and interior design sectors toward a slim, effective, and highly international trade fair format. With 4,820 visitors from 52 countries (20% from abroad) and 216 exhibitors from 24 countries (36% international participation), the two halls of the Bergamo exhibition center were filled with meetings, networking, and the exchange of ideas focused on innovation.
Among the top visiting countries, in addition to Italy, were Germany, Poland, Spain, France, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Serbia, Turkey, and Switzerland.
interzum forum italy captures and reflects this evolution, which is taking place at a particularly significant moment, immediately following the results of the Salone del Mobile. It provides the ideal context to bring the conversation back to its natural setting: companies, designers, suppliers, and technology partners can engage in concrete discussions about ongoing transformations and future sector strategies.
The congress topics cover the full spectrum of subcontracting and are designed to engage a broad, cross-sector audience. Visitors include companies and professionals from the furniture and design industries, manufacturers of materials and technologies, general contractors, design firms and studios, as well as interior designers. Particular attention is given to project areas that are increasingly interconnected with the world of furniture, ranging from contract to recreational vehicles, and from yachting to transportation design.
Thomas Rosolia, Managing Director of Koelnmesse Italia, expressed satisfaction with the proactive response from companies: “The programme and speaker selection are the result of collaborative efforts with companies and their representatives across the supply chain. The topics we will address have been strategically developed to provide concrete support to those within companies who are responsible for defining a medium-term vision. The two-day format is designed to bring together tools, analyses, and perspectives that support both operational and strategic decision-making across the sector.”
Complementing the exhibition areas, interzum forum italy will feature special event spaces developed in collaboration with design companies, where installations will showcase the final application of products. Visitors will be able to experience firsthand how materials, components, and technologies are transformed into real furnishing solutions, drawing inspiration from innovative installations and settings curated by leading players in the sector.
