Sywawa from Belgium amazes the design world in Milan
Sywawa has secured a ticket to take part in the Il Salone del Mobile exhibition in Milan from 4 to 9 April. Because this privilege is only granted to the very best in the world, this is already a tremendous achievement. “But that’s no reason for us to be complacent,” says managing director Pierre Christiaens. “For us, Milan is the ideal showcase to really break through in the international arena.”
Tickets only for the very best
For decades, the international furniture exhibition in Milan has been the high mass for tens of thousands of professionals from the design world. This is the place where design experts from the four corners of the earth come together to learn more about the latest new design trends. For many years, there has been a long-waiting list to gain access to this design Valhalla, where everyone wants to see and be seen. But only the very best companies are given an entrance ticket. This honour has now been accorded to Sywawa from Bruges. Why? The fact that the company, with its extensive and unique collection of 16 design parasols, has already won almost 20 international design awards will probably have something to do with it.
International player
Sywawa is one of those typical West Flanders brands that is slowly conquering the world, but without making a fuss about it. Last year, over 90% of our turnover came from exports to no fewer than 42 countries. “We are seeing that our strategy of focusing on surprising and original design really works. Our presence in Milan is the ideal way to convince even more professionals in the foreign market that our creativity offers a refreshing new approach to the often woolly world of parasols,” says Pierre Christiaens. “We can rightly claim that we were the first to launch the concept of the design parasol.”
The ‘wow’ factor
Sywawa’s designers understand the art using the right materials, colours and styling to turn each of our parasols – whether a classic beach parasol in straw or a terrace parasol in fabric – into something surprising and new. “Because we are nowadays able to get all the information we need in a matter of seconds from our smartphone, people are increasingly influenced in everything they do – and purchase – by the ‘wow’ factor,” says Pierre Christiaens. “Our focus on combining quality and design gives them precisely that: a ‘wow’ feeling. And in Milan we are going to show it to the world.”
