Lees de ervaringen van onze man in Istanbul:<\/p>\n

Istanbul\u2019s mid- January climate isn’t as welcoming as one would like. Cold and sleet is often the order of the day and one wondered quite why the organisers chose this time of year for the show. \u00a0After all, held a few weeks\u2019 later, the heavy coats and boots might be able to be left at home. Having been absent from the city for a couple of years meant I\u2019d forgotten its glorious mixture of chaos and culture, bombastic lack of manners and pure electric atmosphere. It’s a major international city with all the airports, massive infrastructure, public transport systems and vast hordes of people you’d expect, but genteel and refined, it isn’t. Pushing and shoving gets you in and out of trains, buses and buildings \u2013 the faint-hearted get left behind, if not actually trampled underfoot.<\/strong>
\n\"CNR-Expo-Center\"<\/a><\/p>\n

IMOB is principally a domestic furniture show, held annually at the very large CNR Expo Center to the south west of the City near Ataturk International Airport. Easily accessible from the highly-efficient Metro system \u2013 don\u2019t dream of driving or taking a taxi if you want to get there in a reasonable time \u2013 the complex is in all honesty, a little shabby when compared to some of its international competitors. This year, 545 exhibitors occupied 11 exhibition halls of which the fifty office furniture exhibitors, sponsored by their trade association, OMSIAD, were conveniently segregated in their own 8,000sq m hall. As is usually the case, these stands were less busy than those of the home furniture companies, but there was plenty of serious buying interest from local public and private sector customers and their architect and designer advisors.<\/p>\n

This is not an international show. All the exhibitors were Turkish companies and apart from a few from the Middle-East, almost all of the visitors were also from Turkey. A lot of the product was aimed either at the local commercial market or at Turkey\u2019s traditional international trading partners; North Africa, Turkmenistan, northern Iraq and sub-Saharan Africa. One of the Turkish industry\u2019s problems is that markets such as these do not demand well designed products.<\/p>\n

That said, some companies\u2019 products \u00a0such as Mades, Ersa, \u00a0Willowy <\/strong>and Soffa<\/strong>, displayed serious design flair and it is to be hoped that others will follow their example and, in the process, open up greater access to Western European and other advanced markets.<\/p>\n

Ersa<\/a>, based in Ankara, are one of the largest office furniture companies. They have invested in external design in recent years, notably working with Claudio Bellini from Italy. \u00a0Mades<\/a>, founded in 1972, are a company from Bartin with a 15,000sq m factory and 200 employees. About half of their sales are outside Turkey, mostly to Western Europe.<\/p>\n

Rapido<\/a>, <\/strong>a specialist office seating business with modern production facilities, also from Ankara, showed some attractive products including well engineered task seating. \u00a0An Istanbul company, SetLine<\/a>, had some imaginative workstation products on a well-designed and attractive stand.<\/p>\n
