INTERNATIONAL CONSULTANTS
Due to our extensive network within the Interior Design and Architecture communities in Canada, USA and in Europe, we developed an expertise in creating effective international relations and business development projects for companies, associations and fairs. We work as international consultants from Europe for IDC, the Interior Designers of Canada. Our mandate is to build relationships within the international interior design community with other associations, with companies and with fairs, as a service for members and to build business opportunities and international missions. We are Strategic Advisors and official representatives of the shows Host.Milano, HOMI e TUTTOFOOD of Fiera Milano on the Canadian and UK markets.
We worked with ASID - the American Society of Interior Designers for four years on their international relations. We represented in Europe the Show IIDEXCanada for which we have been managers and designers of the International Pavilion, bringing to the Canadian market more Ethan 50 companies.
We also collaborated in Italy with Fiera di Verona and Fiera di Pordenone. We have been consultants for MIFF - The Malaysian International Furniture Fair, IDS Canada and Cityscape Dubai. We write for the magazine Canadian Interiors on show reports and international events in Europe and around the world.
