Abstracts

The financial crisis caused consumers to cut expenditure on furniture products. According to Fedustria, the local trade association for furnishing and furniture, products such as mattresses, bed bases or professional desks were particularly affected. Nonetheless, kitchen, bedrooms and lounge furniture products were clearly more dynamic in 2011.
