The architect Zoran Jedrejcic, who designed for Sintesi the multifunctional “String”, together with the group partners, has won the second prize.

Congratulations Zoran!

World Market Center Las Vegas and Fiera Milano will collaborate for the first time ever this summer to showcase a one-of-a-kind Italian Furniture exhibit at the 2008 July Summer Market.

The July Las Vegas Market , scheduled fro July 28 through Aug. 1, will salute Italian design with an 8,000-square-foot museum-quality exhibit. Conceived, organized and curated with the support of Fiera Milano, City of Meda, Regione Lombardia and Project Monza-Brianza, Design Italiano – Il Mobile di Design a Meda will showcase nearly 100 pieces from 13 top Italian designer and manufacturers.

The company BBBemmebonacina has been chosen to showcase the chair Tric in polycarbonate,  the armchairs Carrera, Spin and Gomma, and the bookcases Eta and Jeep.

For the closing of the fair year, last Wednesday July 9^th Fiera Milano organized a summer cocktail with the consular corps and the organizers. The well-lit Club House which hosted the event was furnished with Gruppo Sintesi products, following a project by our art director Marta Giardini.

The style of furnishing required was that of a lounge, with a bar and islands of sofas, armchairs and tables. Nothing was better suited than the nice Sintesi chairs, BBB elegant padded elements and tables and Montina and Cabas comfortable armchairs.

The large spaces of the Club House, partitioned into rooms, made it possible to create environments with different colours and features.

What a great result!

The new Montina chair called KADREGA, designed by Huub Ubbens, just 3 month after having been launched has already been chosen for the furnishings of the LV58 art gallery of Den Haag (the Netherlands), from August 6^th to 31^st. The exhibition belongs to the “Den Haag Sculptur’08” project, which, this year, is inspired to the subject of freedom.

A special thanks to our agent Will Albers!

In its new branch in Ekeren Citibank wanted to use modern furnishing which was at the same time comfortable and playful. “Elfo” and the new “Bubble” chairs, designed by Marcello Ziliani, and the funny “Pankotto”, designed by Bruno Rainaldi, express this concept and are particularly suitable for contract use, as certified also by CATAS tests.

Thank you for the pictures and a special greeting to our agent Ellen Vermuelen!
