Nobody will want to miss Feria Hábitat Valencia 2019. Not even the World Design Organization which, having just a few days ago designated Valencia the Design Capital of the World 2022 is joining the best Feria Hábitat Valencia of recent years. The fair runs from 17th to 20th this month and will be the first major event that the Mediterranean city has celebrated winning an accolade that no other Spanish city has ever been awarded.
It is in the context of this exciting news that Hábitat will be opening its doors on Tuesday. The furniture, décor and lighting event will be showcasing products from 503 international companies and brands, a 21% increase on last year’s number. Habitat has also grown exponentially in terms of the amount of space dedicated to the exhibits which, at 65,000m2, is 45% up on last year.
What this means for the fair as a whole is that it will be occupying the four halls on Feria Valencia’s Level 2, plus two full halls on the Benimàmet venue’s Level 3. As a result of this expansion there will be twice as many design and cutting edge exhibitors and a 35% bigger offering from modern and upholstered furniture and bedroom furniture suppliers.
