On Sunday evening the gates closed on the 18th Ljubljana Furniture Fair, which by the size and number of exhibitors was the largest to now. At the fair, which was held in all totally occupied GR halls and on the pavement of the specially erected City hall, 309 companies from 23 countries exhibited. The best products were awarded prizes. The exhibitions of furniture were accompanied by other events. 50,000 visitors were attracted to the picture of the Slovenian furniture industry over the six days.
With the motto The Revolution Continues, GR especially wanted to present design as the exceptional advantage of quality products of the Slovenian furniture industry, which they want to get into the higher price classes on foreign and domestic markets, thus continuing the orientation set last year. The most awards, three, were awarded to the company for interior equipment and advice, DONAR d.o.o. from Ljubljana.
