Piemonte exhibitors belong to different sectors, but they all share an history of uniqueness and
an exceptional combination of design and craftsmanship. They propose original interior and
exterior furnishings re-thought according to the new smart living and smart city trends. Pottery,
wood, steel, marble, leather, glass, and even ceramic and titanium for the fashion jewellery
collections, are the materials they use: the resulting objects harmoniously combine tradition and
innovation.
