The cultural aspect of Habitat Valencia Forward
Under the name “Forward”, Feria Valencia is now presenting the activities previously included in FIM Cultural, empowering and further reinforcing them with new proposals forward: WITH AN eye on the future
The cultural aspect of Habitat Valencia Forward, the umbrella brand consisting of the International Furniture Fair of Valencia (FIM) the International Decoration and Accessories Fair (DE>CO) and the International Fair of Lighting Fixtures (FIAM) turns the event into a platform that goes beyond the strictly commercial. Thanks to many young talents and recognized designers, Forward is a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge international design, while also promoting a debate on the present and future of the habitat sector. A must-visit event for all professionals wanting to learn more about what’s happening.
Pavilion 8, Level 2 of Feria Valencia, will host the projects selected in the 24th edition of the cDIM Awards and in the 5th edition of the Nude Show, allowing visitors to get a good overview of the evolution of some of the most outstanding names in the Masters Gallery, or discover the history of the Delta Awards thanks to a monographic exhibition, and learn more about present-day design through the debate forums. Besides, as part of its desire to involve the city in the event, the activities planned for Forward will also transcend the boundaries of the fair premises. Industrial and interior designers, manufacturers, architects, journalists and other professionals will get together at the Meeting Point in the city centre, while shops related with the habitat will look their best for the window displays competition.
24th cDIM Awards. Professionals and students are invited to submit entries to the International Habitat Design Competition of Valencia, discovering the most interesting contributions in professional design.
5th NUDE International New Design Show. An exhibition space and springboard for young designers from the five continents to publicise their creations. A fresh perspective, complementary to those already existing in the market.
Masters Gallery. Thematic exhibitions presented by major brands and leading designers, standing out for their singular contribution to the world of the habitat.
History of the Delta Awards. A touring exhibition on the history of these awards, organised by ADI FAD, the Association for Industrial Design and the Promotion of Decorative Arts.
Debate Forums. Internationally acclaimed designers, architects and creators will exchange ideas, analyse theories and discuss the design culture of the contemporary habitat.
Meeting Point. Major creators from the world of design will transform the interior of an emblematic building in Valencia to provide professionals with a relaxing atmosphere during the hours after the fair closes.
Window Displays Competition. This initiative opens up a new path of communication between manufacturers, distribution channels and end consumers, acting as an expansive wave, making the contents of the fair immediately visible in the city.
Forward emerges with the goal of supplementing and reinforcing the highly topical view provided by this great commercial event held in the week from 18th to 23rd September. With its eyes set on the future, Forward faces the challenge of anticipating the evolution of society and of the market in the years to come.
