ICDI is a Federlegno-Arredo initiative aiming to place Italian entrepreneurial contract capabilities at the centre of the international stage.

ICDI.it is a portal supplying information on the Italian contract furniture sector, that also publishes data and details of projects realized. The portal intends to deal with issues of general interest to the contract world in order to highlight the real capabilities of Italian System. The project overview can be reached by clicking on Projects - Products - Companies, and following the simple prompts to locate the projects, identify the companies involved, and discover the relevant products. This is a dynamic section driven by a powerful search engine: specific sections and aspects can be viewed via prompted or queries. The advanced and highly structured technology platform enables vast quantities of data to be entered and accessed, therefore an impressive number of projects and products can be included.

Only companies already operating in the Contract sector (general contractors and suppliers) can be listed on ICDI.it. Applicants must complete a questionnaire and submit the required images; once approved by Federlegno-Arredo they will appear on the portal. For more information contact Federlegno-Arredo.

No. Though the Italian hotel contract sector is particularly well known and widely admired, ICDI is open to all sectors generally known as "non-residential".

Here are just some of the portal's functionalities:
- by accessing specific projects, it is possible to locate companies whose products or design capabilities might be of interest for new projects
- a fairly comprehensive overview of each company's production capability and potential are provided, but it is possible to contact them directly for operating or commercial queries
- plentiful information is provided about trade fairs, events and appointments of importance to the Contract furnishing sector.

You can find out how to obtain general information about the Italian Contract industry from ICDI/Federlegno-Arredo on the website, and also find out how to contact companies directly. For the time being, the purpose of ICDI.it is to provide information, and give international specifiers an accurate and extensive picture of the manufacturing capabilities and product features of participating companies with a view to involving them in their projects. Any commercial relations that may ensue are strictly between the parties involved.
