We were invited to visit the furniture fair in Zaragoza (Feria Zaragoza) in January 2020, which is the second biggest one in Spain after Feria Habitat in Valencia that takes place in September each year.

This fair is mostly for suppliers to hospitality and commercial projects, and that was exactly the reason why I was eager to go.  The profile of the exhibitors and items differ slightly from shows that cater for residential clients, as for some products the standards to adhere are different and focus on wearability is greater.

The pool-side furniture section was particularly enjoyable, as because of our climate we do not get to work with these products often.

I was fascinated by a mattress printing machine, which you may remember from my InstaStories if you follow me on Instagram.

Several useful pre-arranged meetings with suppliers later, and plenty of time to explore all 11 halls, I was happy to have started several promising new business relationships.  It was a relatively short visit but very fruitful indeed.
