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.
