Revestir is the first major international trade show of the year for the coverings solutions sector, and is among the four biggest in the world.

Featuring trendsetting technology and design, Revestir’s Fashion Week plays an important role in the market, which is expanding on an annual basis because of the country’s rapidly growing housing sector. The 7th Forum of Architecture and Construction will take place alongside the event. Speakers at the 2008 event included the Chinese icon of contemporary architecture, Ma Yansong, and Spanish architect and interior designer, Patricia Urquiola.
Complementing the forum is the Tecnargilla Brasil Seminar, which will offer technical lectures from international professionals, especially those from Italy, where the symposium started.
The 4th Kitchen & Bath Exhibition will also take place at this time, bringing the latest in kitchen and bathroom ideas.
