The second edition of Archincont(r)act will take place at this year’s Cersaie event, confirming the show’s attention to the world of design and its relationship with the contract furnishing sector.

Ten internationally-renowned architecture firms will be hosted in an approximately 2,000 square metre area, organised in cooperation with the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Italian Trade Agency ITA. The purpose of this dedicated area is to promote networking between the firms responsible for developing architecture projects and the players who invest in architectural spaces that add value to cities in Italy and throughout the world.

The firms that have confirmed their presence at Cersaie 2021 are amongst the top Italian and European architecture practices:

 Archea Associati – Florence

Archilinea – Sassuolo (MO)

Caberlon Caroppi Architetti Associati – Milan

Iosa Ghini Associati – Bologna

Lombardini22 – Milan

NOA* Network of Architecture – Bolzano and Berlin

One Works – Milan

Pininfarina Architecture – Turin

Studio Bizzarro e Partners – Ravenna

THDP – London (UK)

This space will host meetings between exhibitors and professional visitors to Cersaie and will offer a dedicated destination management service for international real estate operators. All guests in this space, centred around a Talks Area, will have a chance to admire the “Spa in Outdoor” concept created by the ten practices. This is a highly topical issue for contract furnishing companies that operate in the field of accommodation and hospitality facility renovation. 

Along with the traditional exhibition sectors of ceramic tile and bathroom furnishings, Cersaie 2021 will feature new product categories such as wellness, outdoor furnishings, indoor and outdoor kitchens, lighting, home automation and interior finishes, thereby completing the show’s range of offerings in terms of products, projects and investors.

Cersaie 2021 will be held in the Bologna Exhibition Centre from 27th September to 1st October.
