Scoperta Creativa is a focal point for the industry to interact and explore the future of textile design and production. Whilst the plans for 2007 are not fully fixed, you can read below what Scoperta Creativa offered the industry during this years show:

“THE SEED” TREND FORUM
The trend forum within Scoperta Creativa’s theatre of trends is an inspirational area comprising new technologies and challenges the field of indoor textiles, design and culture. This exciting area has been uniquely developed by “the seed” – a global creative team – in collaboration with selected partners and NedGraphics. It is a dynamic and creative forum, where visitors will be able to see the work of talented artists from diverse arts become real masterpieces.
Within the forum, there will be 3 design stations for 3D-graphic, textile and visual designers working throughout the daily workshops. Their creations will be projected onto a large screen as the ideas develop so that the visitor will be able to interact with the designers and actually witness how a textile design is carried out from the early conception to the final product. These designers include October Studios, Idea Jacquard, Irene Van Vliet and ID-A-Design.

METALS… FILIGREE… LACES: CRISSCROSSED STORIES
Within Scoperta Creativa, a dedicated gallery space has been developed for Baco’s’ exhibition, “metals…filigree…laces: crisscrossed stories”.

This special exhibition represents a figurative journey across a world of pictures, objects, and emotions and clearly shows how soft, nearly intangible curtains with silk embroideries can surprisingly marry a piece of fine interior decoration using filigree. The exhibition shows this relationship using furniture, fabrics and the art of filigree.

Gegia Bronzini

You will also get the opportunity to see some stunning woven art pieces by Gegia Bronzini, displayed throughout Creativa. "Gegia Bronzini", one of the outstanding firms of the Italian textile sector, takes its inspiration from the great artistic sensitivity of its founder, Gegia Bronzini, and the tradition of Italian rural weaving.
