Fabric fair had been in Milan area for two years

BRUSSELS, Belgium — Italy’s Scoperta fabric show will move its exhibition location to Como, Italy, for its next event, set for May 6-9.
 
The decorative textile and curtain trade fair, now in its 11th year, has been based for the past two years at the Fiera Milano exhibition center at Rho, Italy, just outside Milan.


Previously, Scoperta had been held in Chiasso, Switzerland, near the Cernobbio, Italy base of Proposte, the luxury decorative fabric fair which is held at the same time.

Bill Davis, organizer of Scoperta, said at a press conference here that the new site will be 15 minutes from Como city center and 15 minutes from Villa Erba, the Cernobbio home of Proposte.

He also said Scoperta will introduce two new sections: Viva@scoperta and The Style Studio. Viva is a space for products including cushions, bed linens, table and kitchen linens. The Style Studio will be a trend focus area for all exhibitors to show their latest designs.

Scoperta’s new location is five minutes from the highway linking Como to Milan, and show organizers are planning transport links to Milan and Cernobbio.
