4 Oct 2011 KRONOSPAN MAKES A STAND AT 100% DESIGN AND HPX 2011
During two key trade shows, one of the UK's leading producers of wood-based panels made a stand for design-focused manufacturing.
Kronospan's exhibition stands at the 100% Design and HPX 2011 trade shows featured its latest trends and next generation embossed in register board. The products proved to be one of the highlights for the two successful events that showcase the best in surface design and innovation.
Paul Duddle, Kronospan's product development and marketing manager, says: "Our presence at both exhibitions was very well received and we generated a lot of new interest in our Fresh 2 trends and Natural Touch surfaces.
"The exhibitions were very busy with a huge variety of products and trends on show. Events like HPX 2011 and especially 100% Design are just as crucial to our future surface trends as they are for showcasing our current ranges.
"Events like these are our industry's catwalks. We take inspiration from the exciting trends, designs, technologies and customer gossip that fill the stands. It all informs our design-focused manufacturing and new surface trends that will take us into 2013."
Held at Earls Court in London, 100% Design is a platform for cutting-edge contemporary interior design. Whether you're an architect, an interior designer, a specifier or just passionate about design, the four day event at the end of September is a hub of international creative talent and a key date in the design calendar.
HPX 2011 was the culmination of Hill's Panel Products' (HPP) 20th birthday celebrations. Held in mid-September within a 5,000 sq ft marquee in the grounds of HPP's Manchester head office, the event was an influential trade show for the fitted furniture industry.
