The market needs novelty and stimuli. Lineapelle New York has now become the event capable of supplying, every 6 months, novelty and stimuli. And even when the period isn’t as positive, it pushes the market to restart. The edition held on January 31st and February 1st has shed light over the liveliness of the segment. A significant “good event in Manhattan” which follows the good vibes from Lineapelle London (January 23rd). Nothing capable to turning around the economy, of course, but there were signs of a recovery in the market.

The liveliness of Lineapelle New York
Since the beginning (January 31), Lineapelle New York was “interesting”, said Diodato De Maio of DMD Solofra. The fair “took the right direction in terms of quality and quantity of visitors: brands, clients and relevant companies”. All participants focalized on the North American market. Specifically, said De Maio, coming from “New York and the East Coast”, which shows how Lineapelle New York has been able to settle itself as a reference event in a context filled with creative ideas, from accessories to interior design.
Respected premises
In summary: it was a particularly positive edition. The premises were good. Lineapelle London (January 23rd) had already shown positive vibes, while the hype for Lineapelle New York was high even before it opened. And the feedback from the Metropolitan Pavillion have been positive: exhibitors were satisfied with the contacts they had and with the number of visitors, up from the last edition held in NYC (July 2023).
Waiting
“I repeat and confirm that the American market is the one giving the most satisfaction with regards to the medium-end segment, to us and in general”. It’s also the only one. “The rest of the world isn’t. Europe is sleepy, silent and dangerously halted”. What to do? “We wait, and we try to sell our products with energy. We need to surpass this challenging time, which we consider to be transitional”. The problem isn’t living it: The problem is that we don’t know how long it will last”, concludes De Maio.
